The US is in for four difficult years

Tweet

Next January will see the inauguration of a new American President - an elderly white man, whoever it is. It will either be Trump returned or Biden as his replacement. I think we can all work out what "four more years" will be like - a repetition of the nonsense and stupidity that has already been experienced. But what if Biden wins? How different will that be? I am sure it will be different, but not necessarily in a good way. I am not convinced that this gaffe-prone old man will be particularly effective as a President. I fear that he will be weak and subject to getting pushed around. His best bet will be to make clever appointments to the offices of state and let those people get on with the job - if they are up to it all might be well, but if not? There is a third possibility, which is that Trump wins and is successfully impeached - there would appear to be some dark clouds on the horizon that might well cause trouble for him. The new President would then be Pence - and that is not a prospect that anyone should see as a desirable one.
