Americans are going to choose Trump

IT’S very difficult to have an intelligent, temperate discussion about Donald Trump, as he is surrounded by divisiveness and polarisation. That is, he’s either the saviour of the Western world, or the world’s most dangerous man. Needless to say, the truth lies somewhere between these absurd caricatures.

Somewhat implausibly, Jeremy Corbyn and Donald Trump share one key attribute: they are both genuinely anti-establishment, anti-globalist figures (albeit in different ways). As such, they have each had both barrels unforgivingly turned on them by an establishment determined to do anything necessary to stop them winning political power. Corbyn via an orchestrated assault by the corporate-owned mainstream media centred on groundless smears of ‘antisemitism’ (see Asa Winstanley’s 2023 book, Weaponising AntiSemitism: How the Israel Lobby Brought Down Jeremy Corbyn); and Trump, first by the legacy media’s unrelenting demonisation of him, and now via the flagrant ‘lawfare’ assault waged on him by the disgracefully captured US legal system.

I have little time for Trump’s xenophobic nationalism but, sometimes, we need to choose the lesser of two evils, engaging in nuanced rather than simplistic binary thinking. Faced with the stark choice, I certainly prefer nationalism to mindless globalism; and Trump has made it clear that, under his presidency, he will have no truck with the current globalist drive towards a post-human technocracy beloved of the World Economic Forum.

Evidence is now accumulating that the 2020 US presidential election was indeed stolen from Trump, and if the Hunter Biden laptop outrage had been fairly reported in the mainstream media in 2019–20, rather than being silenced at the behest of the US security services, Trump would have won the 2020 election by a country mile.

Sometimes we need to hold our nose at the ballot box when casting our vote, choosing the lesser of two evils. For all his weaknesses and character flaws, I think a majority of American citizens are going to choose Trump in November over the globalist alternative – be it Biden, Newsom or Michelle Obama. And, holding my nose, I’d say they’ll be right.
