Man sagt ihm nach, selber kandidieren zu wollen.
Daran glaube ich nicht ganz, denn dann ist er 83 und auch ein Mitch McConnel baut irgendwann ab ...
Biden ist jetzt politisch vom Programm her nicht so der Kracher, aber eines macht er richtig: Er nominiert tatsächlich Leute aus allen möglichen Schichten und Ethnien (gestern eine Transfrau als Staatssekretärin). Das könnte bewirken, es interessieren sich mehr Bürger für ihre Wahlrechte, weil sie merken, es bringt was, sie finden Beachtung, und beim nächsten Mal lassen sich trotz aller Probleme noch mehr Leute registrieren (die Behinderung durch Trumpisten wird dann wegfallen oder nicht mehr so stark sein).
Dann geht Amtrak Joe noch mit einem Amtsbonus in die Wahlen oder – wenn er altersbedingt tatsächlich ausfallen sollte, macht es Kamala ... schaumer mal.
Aber ist es nicht langsam Zeit, einmal die Leistungen des
stabilen sehr stabilen Genies zu betrachten?
An der Wall of Lies haben sich jetzt über 30.500 Lügen und Falschbehauptungen angesammelt:
Aber auch sonst wird er gewürdigt:
Scholars will struggle to understand what the Trump era says about American democracy.
“More than 30,000 falsehoods and lies. Nearly 400,000 coronavirus deaths. Rising white nationalism. Financial self-dealing. A social media ban. Two impeachments. A deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump’s four years in office come to a close Wednesday after a reign defined by constant chaos, corruption and scandal, a tenure that numerous scholars predict is destined to rank him among America’s worst presidents,” David Nakamura reports. “The historians preparing to reckon with his legacy say it’s not just Trump who will be examined in the harsh reflection of history’s mirror, but also American society and the nation’s commitment to democracy. Trump’s relentless attacks on civic institutions, provoking of racial and social divisions, trampling of political norms, broadsides against the free press and impugning of America’s international allies have raised profound questions about the nature of American governance and the endurance of the values the United States has long professed to cherish, scholars said. ‘Trump and Trumpism have brought those flaws into sharp relief,’ said Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University.”
“The social conditions that brought so many people to believe the falsehoods Trump has told about the election and a litany of other issues took root decades before he became a political figure and will extend far beyond the four years of his administration, according to scholars of disinformation and conspiratorial thinking,” Jose Del Real reports.
Trump’s final job approval rating is the worst of his presidency at 34 percent, according to Gallup, one point worse than in the aftermath of Charlottesville. “His 41% average approval rating throughout his presidency is four points lower than for any of his predecessors,” Gallup notes.
Just over 1 in 10 Americans say the pandemic is mostly under control, despite Trump’s parting insistence that case numbers are being exaggerated, according to fresh Post-ABC News polling. The survey found that large majorities of people of all political affiliations say they think the deadly virus is only somewhat, or not at all, under control. (Amy Goldstein and Emily Guskin)

“You never want to be ranked below William Henry Harrison, who was only president for one month. If you rank below him, it means you’ve harmed the country,” said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley of Rice University. “Now you’re getting into James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson territory. Trump will automatically be in that category.”
Trump issued an executive order to mandate the creation of a “Garden of American Heroes” including statues of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Martin Luther King Jr., Harper Lee, Steve Jobs, Whitney Houston and Kobe Bryant.
