A Prediction

For a Canadian who’s also a British peer, Conrad Black writes sensibly about American politics. His current article for American Greatness takes a very balanced view of Donald Trump, and concludes that, like him or loathe him, Trump is quite likely to be reelected in 2024 unless in the interim he does something monumentally stupid.

As Black notes, there were and are reasons to be dubious about the outcome of he 2020 election, without claiming as Trump did that he won big. Rules were changed at the last minute, the pandemic was blamed, and large numbers of ballots were either mailed or harvested in ways not previously considered legitimate.

Meanwhile, paradoxically Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer continue to do everything in their power to make certain Trump is reelected. The contrast between his four years and Biden’s couldn’t be more invidious.

Except that now there are no mean Tweets.
