Donald Trump Can Cancel 2024 Election

-


Below is an old blog, 8 April 2024, about what Donald Trump is capable of.

------------------------------

Donald Trump can and will cancel the 2024 election, if there are obstacles in his way, such as going to prison or if some of his court cases are still in the cauldron during the summer.

That’s ludicrous. How can one man cancel the pillar of American democracy? He can, because he is ambidextrous. How?

1. Donald Trump does not belong to the Republican Party. He does his own thing. He conducted his own town hall campaigning while the other presidential candidates argued in TV debates. He also thinks he is the ‘president-in-waiting’. That’s why he’s dictating Texas border policy.

2. Donald Trump goes back home to the Republican Party when it suits him. The prodigal son is welcomed with open arms. That’s why he bagged Iowa and New Hampshire.

But it is still a far-fetched scenario. He cannot cancel the 2024 election. Yes, he can. It is evident in court. He believes prosecutors are doing him a great disservice for trying a U.S. president (himself) who will be the Republican Party nominee, and go on to win the election in November. If he doesn’t respect the legal system and demands that they should cancel his cases, what can stop him from cancelling the election if he is behind bars?

Donald Trump has staying power in terms of money and the Supreme Court. The money is for lawyers, who don’t deal with the facts of the case, but tell the court that it’s a political ploy, to prevent him from campaigning. Secondly, he has the Supreme Court. Donald Trump will try and use it to rubber stamp his attempt to cancel the election.

That’s impossible. It has never been done before. There’s always a first time, or Trump time. He orchestrated the attack on the Capitol on 6 January 2021.

Elections And Political Bullies

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
