Former United States President Donald Trump is described as “terrifyingly suitable” for the country’s presidency in an analysis published on The Economist magazine’s website.
The magazine says: “What a powerful suit of armor Donald Trump wears. It will not be hampered by a postpresidential impeachment trial, four ongoing criminal proceedings involving 91 alleged crimes, and all attacks by Republican challengers for the party’s nomination in 2024.”
Trump attended a court hearing last Monday the 6th. In the case of civil fraud, he is accused of having increased the value of the family property in settlements with banks and insurance companies in order to obtain better loans. At that time, the Republican clashed with Judge Arthur Engoron.
Still, The Economist says, “If the election were held tomorrow, this would be the case.” [Trump] I would even be considered the favorite.”
“In key states, 42% of Hispanic voters and 22% of African Americans said they would vote for Trump, which, if true, would mean the collapse of support among minorities that Democrats have counted on for decades “, analyzes the analysis of The Economist.
The magazine continues: “Voters also said they trust Trump to manage the economy better (59% vs. 37% for Biden); and on immigration (53% to 41%); and even in the IsraelPalestine conflict (50% to 39%). Seven in 10 voters said they believed Biden was too old to be an effective president — including a majority of Democrats.”
The text reads: “David Axelrod, a wellknown Democratic political strategist who helped elect Barack Obama, gently suggested Biden consider withdrawing from the candidacy.”
The Economist concludes: “The best argument for those defending Biden is that the polls are just a snapshot and that public opinion is changing.”
“As political scientists Christopher Wlezien and Will Jennings have found in their study of decadeslong elections in dozens of countries, polls conducted a year in advance are almost useless in predicting the final outcome,” the magazine points out, noting that “ “not the case” is clearly where the Biden campaign expects to be a year after the election.”
