Please provide details on how the Obama's and Biden's corruptly earned money they were not entitled to.

He needs the money. Inflation.

 

That, and ego. He is easily prone to flattery; that's how he did business in daddy's firm. There was no expectaton to win in 2016. Trump's first cabinet actually was reasonable, if you were looking for technocrat appointees. The ego came out with the announcements coming from Sean Spicer, who we all feel sorry for. There was sneaking admiration for the Mooch. But he was manipulated by others far cleverer than him, eg soon-t0-be jailbird and grifter Steve Bannon.

 

A malleable candidate; easy to persuade him to go for it if you tell him you look great, sir, with a tear in your eye. Kevin  McCarthy has a lot to answer for, following his 2022 reconcialition with Trump.

Because he is a liar, thief and sexual predator.

 

Convicted of election fraud.

Trump has not been convicted of election fraud.

He faces legal charges related to election interference.

Your statement that he is a sexual preditor is also not correct.

Two civil cases have been taken against him for sexual misconduct

One by Stormy Danials and the second by E Jean Carroll.

I am not sure that he has ever been convicted for theft either.

I'm not left, and I don't hate him, but I recognise what he is.

Al Capone was convicted on bookkeeping charges.

Trump loves Trump. It isn't only the left that dislike him, any reasonably educated person can see that Trump's low IQ is a danger to society in general and an embarrassment to the country. His red neck supporters love him because they can understand his 3rd grade English, his lack of knowledge is on par with their own so that makes him one of their own. He has lied and cheated all his life, he has not only refused to pay lawyers bills and county bills for his rallies but also bankrupted SME's by refusing to settle accounts for work done on his properties (yes, he loves the American worker).

The question is why is Trump really running for president again at such an old age?
 

Wouldn't he rather relax with family and play golf for the remaining sunset years of his life without any stress or pressure of the high demands required to be a useful and effective president of the most powerful country in the free world? 

 

Then the question is if he is really running for president or if he is simply running from the law and all of his pending federal criminal indictments?
 

And is he thinking that the presidency will shield him from prosecution and provide him the power to take further vengeance upon his adversaries? 

 

It seems the answer is somewhere in the middle, but more on the side of ego and self preservation than anything else. And perhaps he doesn't even really know why he's actually running anymore. Like Heath Ledger as the Joker in the Batman film when he said "Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! Y'knnow, I just do things."

 

He seems too cognitively jumbled and confused about what he's doing or saying at any given moment and that he simply wants to be the most powerful autocratic leader on the planet to feed his catastrophically, narcissistic ego. So, in one way or another, it's only about him and not about wanting to be the best public servant he can because he's mentally unfit to even be a presidential leader anymore. 

 

He certainly doesn't care about the American people or about making America a better country for Americans either because, if that were really true, he would simply pass the baton to someone else younger and smarter from his own party (like Biden was brave enough to do), and that would be someone who is far more suited than he is to be the next commander in chief. 

 

Thus, if he really cared about America, and all those hillbilly Americans who turn up at his rallies in support of his confused and unhinged rantings, then he wouldn't even be running at all. 

The funny this that he doesn't have to you are correct.

 

If in the primary someone had of stood out he may have stepped aside.

 

The sees where the country is going under the Obama plan and wants to try to make the u.s. a power and not a joke in the world 

 

As to the charges against him.  They are a joke they didn't start until he decided to run.  The DNC new Joe could not win a fair election and that they had no one else to go against him that had his ability 

 

Therefore they started the different criminal proceeding.

 

The question now for American s is simple do you want 4 years of trump or 4 years of the Obama puppet Kamala

Yes. Thanks to Obama's hard work. And it only took Trump 18 months to kill it.

Thanks to Trump. Happened in 2019 and nothing to do with Obama. Obama was a terrible President who had super high average unemployment.

Bush had 4.4% unemployment rate in your graph prior to gfc. After Obama left office it was 4.7%. So he only brought it back down near pre gfc levels.

Hmm.

The asking of this question indicates a lack of awareness the problems with the US and it's current government.

 

Not a joke......

You are really digging deep for this semantic argument.

 

He was convicted of election fraud in New York. He was convicted of financial fraud for Trump-U and his phony charity. He was convicted of financial fraud in Hew York for phony valuation. He stole the money and will be heading to prison.

 

He also stole astounding quantities of government documents and property. He will be going to prison some more for that one as well. His only goal in running for president is to corruptly dismiss his own cases.

Trump was not convicted of election fraud in New York .

He was convicted in May 24 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments to suppress damaging information from Stormy Daniels. 

The prosecution was for falsifying business records , not election fraud.

Nothing has been decided about the accusation of stolen government documents.
