I don't think Trump's problem is insanity. There are other ways for one's ideas and behavior to be unworthy of any office in America. As Bill Maher says, Biden's head in a jar of blue liquid is preferable to Trump (perhaps even preferable to the actual Biden - he's that bad). Maher deserves praise for asserting everything written here months ago. Now that those sentiments are echoing from everywhere, I hope it isn't too late.

Nicely written, Daniel. You are preaching to the choir here on Substack. The Americans we have to convince to vote for the Democrat are the low-information voters and swing voters, an admittedly difficult if not impossible job. Hence, I agree with you that we are on the verge of another Trump presidency.

Excellent piece. Maps onto my own calculation almost exactly.

You need to start questioning what you assume about Insane’s “criminality” and look into what you know about Senile’s criminality. Also suggest you reflect objectively on 2016 to 2020 especially on the issues of prison reform (nonviolent first offenders serving life sentences under Biden’s Crime Bill were released from prison) , the increase of money into HBCUs and Black neighborhoods, the increase of citizenship applications finally processed, and Russia, North Korea, Iran, and Hamas not daring to make a move.

If the bad actors you list actually fear Trump, that's a point in Trump's favor. The deterrence projected by America under Obama and Biden has been pathetic and contributes to many of our problems. Our enemies don't view weakness as strength. However, I think they see Trump as a useful idiot they can work around and to some extent with to gain their ends. Our enemies are slavering over the possibility of a second Trump term.
