Trump has only ever reduced income tax for the rich. He doesn't give 2 shits about the average American, yet he's preying on their votes.

He doesn't and deep down most voters feel this in their gut. I bet even @Hust knows Trump doesn't care. When it comes down to it, that is going to make people question voting for him. And that's ignoring his crimes, rape cases, etc. ... If we look at what's actually at stake and the important issues here like climate, abortion, the Supreme Court, voting rights, ... the majority of Americans simply do not align with the Republicans.
I just don't see how Trump is going to win these elections. Everything points to him losing bigly.

Unfortunately it seems many if not all of his supporters are just gullable idiots who believes the crap he spouts out.
I honestly believe Trump 2.0 will be 100 times worse, he will be untouchable to the sense he'll make up his own laws to protect himself and keep him in power for as long as possible, through the appointment of bent judges such as the likes of Aileen Cannon and those in the supreme court, I wouldn't be surprised if he has his own private army too. Honestly I'm quite fearful about the possibilities of a 2nd Trump presidency and I don't even live in the US!

He will win because inflation is super high, the Dems bottled everything with Biden, and he dodged an assassination attempt. It's very similar to how Reagan won the Presidency in the 80's.

Unfortunately the "Parents" of today are basically destroying their kids' futures with insurmountable debt and inflation, but obviously they don't care or are too stupid to understand.

If you place a tariff on a good, it's essentially a tax on that good. Someone will have to pay for that increase in cost, and chances are it will be passed onto the US consumer.
I would assume real wages would increase with elimination of the income tax. But again, this will be largely offset due to inflation. Most people who don't understand economics will think they're better off, while the hidden cost of inflation will offset.

Exactly.
People view Trump as this insurmountable challenge. Someone whose charisma is so strong the average American cannot help but vote for him. Donald Trump might be a lot of things, but he's no Siren. The fucker lost the last elections. A couple of months ago that same charisma was going to make it impossible for him to be convicted by a jury, yet they came to a unanimous verdict of guilty of 34 felony counts.
No. This dude is going to lose bigly.

It wasn't back then, it will be now.
Trump doesn't have the majority of voters on his side on a single important issue. Not a single one. If he even manages to promote some sort of plan or ideology, because most of the time it's just nothing. And the crazier his fans get, the more average voters will feel disdain. Do you really want to be a part of that group of religious extremists that see the Orange Man as the new Jesus? You probably don't.

It doesn't need to be a landslide though.
And you kinda hit the nail on the head for me there, Trump voters are already Trump voters. We've seen this song and dance before. Honestly he might even lose some more votes now. Also again, the #blackgirlmagic vote.
It's going to come down to key issues in battleground states, because how our elections work is ultimately stupid. Israel in Michigan, probably border security in Arizona, etc. I don't know what the big issues would be in places like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
I don't think he'll lose by a landslide tbh, but I think that since Kamala can speak in coherent sentences it'll seem good by contrast, despite her being unlikable. Because let's face it even though she's unlikable, she's still not Hillary level.

It's true. And India has an insane amount of wealth inequality. How do you feel it's handled differently there? Just for comparison.
I know enough about American dysfunctions in this regard, but I never got my invite to the Ambani wedding.
Totally with you on the economics of this. Just as people were flipping out about McDonald's being called "luxury dining" in the US recently, shopping at Walmart and on Amazon is going to be "luxury shopping".
Hell, maybe even Temu....
Food is something I'm less concerned with as a financial impact, because consumers will wince at the first signs. Which is why I think any immigrant expulsion is going to immediately blow up in everyone's faces in lower labor supply and hence much higher labor prices for food, restaurants, and construction.
Food imports are also going to hit the U.S. seasonally, like people used to buy groceries. So anybody who wants strawberries in November is gonna get bent over.
I still don't get the drilling thing. For one, domestic drilling is by international corporates whose shareholders want them to sell to the highest bidder... not just to Americans at a friendly cheapskate discount. For another, America is not only pumping more oil than any nation has in history, for the first time since the 1950s domestic energy production has exceeded demand.
I saw the drill, baby, drill placards at the RNC, and I'm like, "Do they have no idea?"
This year Biden was getting grief from the greens about the record levels of oil production.
Inflation was really high, but it's leveling off to normal. And it's a good guess that we'll see at least one rate drop this year. Still, people are going to want a pound of flesh to pay for their affront at a $5/pound chicken.
Though Reagan didn't face an assassination attempt until two months into his presidency. It wasn't pre-election.
The harder part for Trump now is he doesn't have the same leverage as in 2020 to call up Arizona and George and shake down election offices for votes.
Oddly, this might become one of the greatest legacies of Biden's one-off presidency.

Incumbent presidents usually do not lose. It happened 3 times in past 100 years (besides Trump): Hoover, Carter and Bush 41. I can argue that economic uncertainty during COVID was not as bad as Great Depression (duh!) and double digit inflation during the Carter admin. The fact that he lost Georgia should tell you about his popularity.
Btw this election will certainly NOT be a landslide in favor of Harris. I think right now it’s a lean Trump, but it could change now that he’s not the youngest candidate lol.

So it sounds like the Indians treat the rich like the Italians.
And they'd both be correct.Curious how the U.S. are mostly billionaire apologists.
Fascinating about the new generation of wealthy business types in India. It seems accessibility and social media tools have changed the way they play the game.
Though 538 is pretty worthless these days. Even Nate Silver kinda dissed on it.

So just found out from someone that the Heritage Foundation, the Christian Fascist scumbags who run Project 2025, are in part funded by Russia. This isn't a surprise.
But also the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
That's good news because maybe if MAGA knows this they will reject it. They hate Bill Gates.
