ex-President Trump

Given the way the rest of your predictions have gone thus far, my odds on this happening probably just halved.

Or maybe in a good way. Maybe having input from a well-connected Silicon Valley VC could turn out to be a good thing.

For who ?
The majority of Americans ?
To believe venture capital and Wall Street are for the greater good is lol .

A bad way in my view and a good way in your view are consistent.

It's not just input., The new right is a political movement with Peter Thiel as a key backer and player.

Trump has survived Covid, an assassination attempt, impeachments, sexual assault allegations, being convicted of a felony, being cancelled, the global elites etc. Yet somehow this man is the heavy favorite to be the next President of the United States. It sounds like this is the guy who needs to lead this nation. I don't know if there is a God or not but I do believe if there is he certainly favors Trump. He clearly doesn't like the liberals. Just like Gaza should probably stop attacking the much stronger Israel, Liberals should stop attacking the much stronger Trump.

It's time to come together as a nation.

Quoted for posterity

Some people believe that uniting behind a man who attempted to overturn the results of our last Presidential election and sat by while his supporters violently stormed the capital is not in the best long-term interests of the nation. Not to mention that a material majority of Americans prefer Biden over Trump - 7 million in 2020 - so being the heavy favorite to win the election based on the electoral college system is not the same as being the man American's want in office.

I'm excited at the possibility of Elon Musk having an advisory role. Biden's admin has diminished his accomplishments at SpaceX for far too long.

Some influence is good. The trouble is he has far too much wealth and power

I wonder what country he is loyal to.

Really I think Trump has the "total douchebag who inherited a lot of money and got lucky at every turn to make it into more money" base pretty well covered.

Every turn, chillrob? How much luck is required to build a company better than NASA from scratch?

Well NASA is nothing to sneeze at. While chillrob's post, on the contrary, is.

The luck was required to turn a lot of money into a ton of money (he didn't actually start Tesla, etc).

The ton of money was required to build Space X.

Elon Musk is by far the most talented, gifted and successful conman in history, and I say that with shameless admiration and jealousy.

So, I feel like this is fairly obvious to most, so I'm not sure if I'm responding to a troll here, but being impeached, found liable for sexual assault, and convicted of a felony are not qualities you look for in "the guy who needs to lead this nation."

Are you being serious and are just confused about that or is this something a level away from that that I'm not getting?

I especially like how "surviving sexual assault allegations and a felony conviction" are listed as accomplishments. I mean, I guess he did better than Ted Bundy, who did not survive that experience.

This doesn't get mentioned much, but Ukraine will be completely ****ed if trump wins.

Europe have to step up. That was always the case and bizarly trump is the one who is making europe realise it.

It used to be so much harder to get people to understand that we can't trust the usa. Very late may be better than too late.

That probably depends who you are.

while this post is obviously ridiculous and stupid. it does show what the right means by "unity" or "united". it has nothing to do with compromise or coming together. it means control. nothing they say about "we're so divided" or "come together as a nation" has ever been real.

Sort of how they're the party of law and order, except when it comes to election coercion, sedition, lying about classified materials, wanting your VP hung by a lynch mob, and other various minor crimes.

Accusing them of these things is really bad, like, worse than them actually doing them, and if you keep up with the accusations then something something something and that's why everyone votes Trump.

Why don't you ask the Republican party since the guy was a card carrying Republican
