*How can he be a business owner AND a politician?

Because voters trust him.

The real question is why do they trust him?

the last thing we need is to put some pasty white old fool that nobody relates to on a ballot.

Americans related to Donald Trump. That's exactly how he became President of the United States twice.

Are you aware of that?

 

I like Zohran Mamdani. I like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

But if you think they have any chance to win a presidential election against Eric Trump or JD Vance, you are kidding yourself.

People living in Nevada, Texas, Michigan or Wisconsin are never going to vote for a muslim socialist or a latina.

Many americans get their news from Fox News or X.

They believe California/New York/Boston/Seattle/Chicago are disgusting shitholes full of crime, murder and pink-haired weirdos.

The next candidate should be :

- MALE

- WHITE

- Not from the West Coast or East Coast

- MILITARY VETERAN

I'm not talking about the ideas. I'm talking about the appearance. Please don't think a muslim New Yorker or a latina stand a real chance against JD Vance.

They would be ANNIHILATED by Musk and Fox News before the presidential campaign even starts.

If Kamala was a white male prosecutor and Trump was a female black felon, I'm pretty sure Trump would have lost.

Many american progressives don't know their own country.

I say this as as a foreigner
