US Presidential Election 2024

[Derek27]

It's amazing to think the Democratic land of free could be able to elect somebody that tried to overturn an election.

Even more amazing that he's been found guilty of sexual assault in a civil court and half of American voters are women!

Trump ordered to pay 83.3 million dollars.

His response is denial and threats:

Mr Trump has continued to claim he never met Ms Carroll - including on Friday morning on social media before court.

After the ruling, he vowed to appeal, posting of the verdict: "Absolutely ridiculous!"

"I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party.

"Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!"

----------------
In my view Trump is a warped nutcase, but if he appeals succesfully then so be it.

He always reminds me of the Fast Show character Sir Geoffrey Norman MP.

You lot understand nothing about US politics and the difference between state and federal law.

Being fined $83 million is peanuts in the USA.

People voted for him in -30 degrees.

He will become the next US president, even by a 6 by 6 prison cell and will yield multiple powers.

When that happens he will withdraw the US from NATO. Which basically means PUTIN can and will do what he wants.

If you’re under 55 then I would move overseas very quickly otherwise you will suddenly become cannon fodder.

The white house has got involved in explicit deep fake images of Taylor Swift and expressed concerns of the technology being used in the upcoming election.

By the way, does anyone have any copies of the images?

Trump has not only reached an all-time low in his sad excuse for a life, but also in the Betfair market. Now trading at 2.24.

I've heard of people blowing banks on here, but what sort of idiot loses $83M by opening his mouth?

83 dollars doesn't seem that much, looks good value to me

Have no interest in this market but have to admit Trump has slowly been growing on me, I'm very far from a supporter but can understand why many people do support him

He seems to have perfected the art of hyperbole, he doesn't seem to be as ridiculous as he often comes off

Just throwing a random observation in, make of that what you will

This is not a bad way of trading, every time Trump loses a court case Back him, and then trade out with a profitable Lay bet a few days later.

Trump maybe allot of things. But Russia, Korea, China and India know one thing. He is dangerous and unpredictable that they would think twice before bombing and/or invading another country.

The USA is about to deploy/ station 500 nuclear gravity bombs in Suffolk UK.

You should all be very worried by what happens next.

War is coming and not a war any of you are prepared for.

I dare anyone to accuse an armed prepper of confirmation bias

Putin wouldn't have the bottle to start a war against NATO after the way things have panned out in Ukraine. Remember all those nuclear threats he made at the beginning? Even he realises he would just be laughed at if he made them again.

The NATO doctrine has never been tested. I could be wrong but I highly doubt European countries would come to help the UK. Obviously the USA would as they have massive assets here. But ultimately the president would have a big dilemma.

I thought Article 5 was invoked after 9/11?

I meant by launching nukes in retaliation. If it happens and once people saw the devastation by modern nuclear weapons then I reckon they would think twice and not wish there own people and countries to face a similar fate.
