No. It is now evident Biden has aging related issues. Thought that you a while just observing how he walks. Quite sad that the end of his political career has ended in this manner, but necessary.

Trump's Proposed Mortgage Ban for Undocumented Immigrants Sparks Debate

Easily fixed, but... Undocumented immigrants in the U.S. can legally obtain mortgages through special loans designed for taxpayers without Social Security numbers. -
Trump's Proposed Mortgage Ban for Undocumented Immigrants Sparks Debate

Red meat for MAGA. From the OP... Undocumented immigrants in the U.S. can legally obtain mortgages through special loans designed for taxpayers without Social Security numbers. These loans, while legal, are not widespread. Researchers at the Urban Institute estimate that only 5,000 to 6,000 such mortgages were issued last year. In contrast, over 3.4 million mortgages were granted to all homebuyers in 2023, according to federal data. -
Nothing to stop you commenting to put forward your thoughtd The vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent (see map below). In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/demonstrations-political-violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/ However, the OP is talking to the possibility for future violence by trump supporters.

Have to disagree, it's not over as trump has never stopped with lies and misinformation and will try to make the same play if he loses again. Personally am of the opinion trump is a threat to peace within the USA; anything negatively effecting the US will also impact Australia and other countries around the world.

Not so. As you well know trump and MAGA have never stopped lying about the results of the 2020 election. trump is making the exact same claims for 11/24 that if he looses it is a fraud. In addition trump is aggressively trying to disenfranchise Dems voters. Some examples of many which no doubt you will deny / deflect https://www.msnbc.com/way-too-early/watch/trump-calls-for-government-shutdown-over-unsubstantiated-claims-of-voter-fraud-218482757518 https://www.aclu.org/news/voting-rights/how-donald-trumps-election-lies-and-other-anti-voter-policies-will-continue-to-impact-our-democracy

At the time trump was constantly attacking US institutions and seeking to appoint sycophants with no experience of their portfolio. So, Yes, trump was endeavouring to be the one and only person, as he repeatedly claimed, 'only I can fix problems in the US'. Of course the claim was nonsense. If trump wins in 11/24 you can guarantee he will drive to be the 'King' again by removing many in the civil service and politics to be replaced by those who swear personal loyalty - as happened with trump's Cabinet members in his prior Administration. You will recall many Republicans failed in their Duty to protect the Constitution during the calls for trump to be removed from power for attempts to overturn the election 2020 results. It is crystal clear trump is a threat to US democracy, he cannot be trusted with the reins of power.

Donald Trump and his allies are preparing to make claims of election and voter fraud if he loses in November - according to election experts and a number of old-school Republicans. Mesa, Arizona Mayor John Giles, a Republican who has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, said that if Trump loses, he and his associates “will throw everything at the wall and see what sticks,” according to The Guardian. “They’ll claim everything went wrong if they lose. I’d be surprised if Trump doesn’t try to foment insurrection if he loses the election,” the mayor said. Trump and his MAGA friends are laying groundwork for ‘chaos and violence’ if they lose election, expert says (msn.com)
