US Presidential Election 2024 - Trump vs ??? - Vote Hard with a Vengence

[The Bread Guy]

Trump is never going to be a politician ....

Other than those times where he solicited and benefitted from political contributions to get him into office, and managed political government processes (for better or worse?) while he was President?

At the risk of overkill, a politician is defined as:

• "a person experienced in the art or science of government especially : one actively engaged in conducting the business of a government"
• "a member of a government or law-making organization"
• "a person who has political power in the government of a state, a person active in party politics, or a person holding or seeking an elected office in government"
• "a person who campaigns for or holds a position in government"
• "someone who is active in government usually as an elected official"
• "(a person) who work(s) within a political system"

Which one of these is Trump not or ever going to be?

Obviously Trump must be a politician. Equally obviously he's not a lifer the way many are.

Well he could be a lifer. Got to give the justice system time to work

That's a bit more precisely put, and I'd tend to agree. Don't know if he wants more political clout as much as he wants attention and outside-government "public clout", but a "career politician" he ain't - especially as long as he can keep bringing in money and visibility as a rabblerouser.

What about what, now?

Just chiming on about people lieing about big numbers. The potential next president says 2/3rds of the US population died from covid 19.
