@vivify saidTrump no longer needs Putin. While he despises Zelensky and probably promised Ukraine to Russia once already, again - that's a Trump promise. He'll only keep it if he gets something out of it.
Trump sided with Putin over America's government in front of the whole world, which was even wildly unpopular with Republicans:

Trump will side with Putin over NATO.
His interest is in appearing as 'the great statesman hovering over the fray and negotiating peace.' He won't want to risk a failure, so he'll only do anything if Ukraine is exhausted and ready to surrender their land while Russia is willing to take a temporary pause to re-arm before taking the rest of Ukraine.
Then he will add 'peacemaker' to his legacy - and be long gone when the war re-commences.
@vivify saidThe U.S. will pull out of NATO, per Trump threatening to do so multiple times. This will then lead to NATO disintegrating and ceasing to exist.

Federal gay marriage protection will be overturned. After Roe v. Wade was struck down, Justice Clarence Thomas said in his decision that Obergefell v. Hodges (gay marriage SCOTUS case) be "revisited".
Illegal migrant crossi ...[text shortened]... ll drop. Whether you approve of the methods used to do so or not, there will be a significant drop.
=== I don't think so. He never came close to pulling our of NATO in his first term and the US basically runs NATO anyway. Aside from saving a few billion here and there, what would be gained by dropping out?

=== I don't sense an urgency on the right to revisit Obergefell. Abortion is different because many people think it's literally murder. But have you noticed huge demonstrations in opposition to same sex marriage? I haven't.
Illegal migrant crossings will drop. Whether you approve of the methods used to do so or not, there will be a significant drop.
=== This is practically a lock.

@spruce112358 saidTrump's power and leverage directly comes from his right-wing base. They are the sole reason why he is not in prison right now (and never will be).
Don't know - he may decide to ignore this as he isn't religious and doesn't really care about holding onto support. What is his 'win' if he does this?
Evangelicals will insist that 'he owes them' but in typical Trump fashion, he may tell them to get stuffed. Even if evangelicals 'split', where would they migrate to at this point?
Trump will ride the right-wing wave for the rest of life.
@Rajk999 saidThat's exactly why less people will be covered. Trump gutted both Medicaid and Obamacare without offering a replacement.
Your healthcare system is ridiculously expensive, and needs an overhaul. Insurance companies need to be held accountable for their nonsense claims. Somebody needs to fix it.
The moderator in his debate against Harris asked him "so you still don't have a plan?"
Trump responded "I have concepts of a plan".
He didn't replace Medicaid or Obamacare in his first term, he won't in his second one.
@vivify saidyou lost, quit the sniveling and stfu!

@Rajk999 saidI venture that his many DJT stocks (there are about 10) earned him easily over 500M in this one day. His train is pulling away from the station, catch that train.

@vivify
That war matters because it is just the first volley in Putin's drive to rebuild the old Soviet Union, as much of it as he can force back together and support for Ukraine is one step to stop that advance.
Trump will just give away 1/3 to 1/2 of Ukraine's sovereign territory for 'peace'.
Trump just doing Putin's will. Trump will be a puppet of Putin.
Don't forget he is in LOVE with Kim Jong Un......
@vivify saidBut he started w billions. If I start w $100k I can have the same returns he does, sounds fair to me.

I heard Sue borrowed $100k and opened.A daycare business. She made about $80,000 last year. Her neighbor did not make any money last year. Should she share her profits with her neighbor. Just a question not trying to start an argument. Would your answer be different Had Harris won the election?
@Rajk999 saidSupplement health insurance gives one choices of the expensive insurance with 100% coverage, or lesser programs to fit your budget. You are starting a rumor. Nip it, and google United Health care.

@Rajk999 said"- Democrats will learn to submit themselves to a higher authority "
Predictions for the next 4 yrs

- No more LGBTQ parades in peoples faces. Let them stay home and do that $$hit
- American will have less to do with petty scuffles like Ukraine and Gaza
- Mass importation of Chinese and other foreign goods will fall
- Local businesses will as a result get a boost
- Pr ...[text shortened]... People will be forced to work instead of living off the state
- Crime in innercity areas will fall.
LOL. Find the houses who put up the Harris signs. Make them kiss the ring.
