At this point everything seems to indicate that victory is within reach. The European political and media left has the habit of analyzing situations in a biased way, confusing desires with reality. On the one hand, there are the good ones and on the other there are the bad ones. We see it in Spain, but we can transfer it to what happened in the European elections or to any area of international politics. Trump does not arouse any sympathy in me and I find his ways unpleasant, but Biden is another unpresentable no matter how president of the United States he is. He is a perfect product of the establishment who has been thriving in the Senate all his life until he finally got the highest prize a politician can achieve. I find it quaint that liberals believe that Democratic politicians, who are full of billionaires in their ranks, are leftist. They couldn’t be simpler. Trump can win because Biden is a disastrous candidate. His son is a sinister character who has taken advantage of “dad” to do business. In the case of his rival, voters take for granted his less than exemplary private life and his financial troubles.
It seems incredible to me that his judicial journey does not harm him, but with what is before him I can even understand it. A large number of Americans like that swashbuckling patriotism, although it did not translate into waging any war or large-scale military action unlike their predecessors. Instead, they believe that they lived better with their salaries. A diplomatic friend who is an expert in this matter explained it to me a few days ago and it seemed like a very clarifying answer. Biden has broken numerous commitments and has an absent vice president. Why do they present it? Democrats have no other way out. It is a tradition, but it would also be recognizing a failed presidency. The remedy is worse than the disease. He is a leader who makes mistakes, forgets things and they have to be careful so he doesn’t stumble and fall. He does not inspire confidence. Trump’s message is simple and forceful. To which we must add that curious anti-system point, presenting himself as a victim of the powerful who did not want him to be president and have done everything possible to put an end to him.
