As always, I do actual research. This reveals Sportsbet, that for more than 12 months put Trump ahead in the 2024 presidential election odds, now puts:

- Ron DeSantis most likely to win in 2024, at 2.80

- Joe Biden 3.75

and in third place

- Trump at 6.50

TRUMP RUSSIA'S STOOGE

However Betting agencies are fallible.

One need only look back to 2016 when Sportsbet put Hillary way ahead of Donald.

We know how his gross hucksterism and a lot of help from Russian and Wikileaks cyber-propaganda discrediting Hillary and pushing Trump's "Make Amerika Great Again" fooled the US public into voting Trump President.

Trump, who (in past years) had been bailed out of bankruptsy 3 times by Russian money, became Russia's highest placed Agent of Influence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_of_influence

To Russia's benefit, Trump went on to damage Western alliances (eg. NATO) and boost rightwing extremism in the US. This has destabilised American democracy to this day - with the January 6, 2021 Capitol Insurrection being just one well known gain for Russia and loss for the US.

Thanks for all your comments.

Hi Maverick,

If Trump had all this help from the Russians - how come
he lost to Biden? And can he really win this time around?

Indy,

As a confirmed Trumpster, you have now fallen in love with Little Miss Trumpette. I'm not surprised.

What it all boils down to is that the failing policies of idealism are already clearing the path for conservatism again & if they put Ivanka up as a candidate she'll romp in.
Nothing much positive seems to emanate from Kamala Harris to get the job on merit.
Biden will probably hand over to her soon & she could snatch the first female President title but inheritance is as far as she can go.

Ivanka has said she's staying out of politics.
She's distancing herself from her father's
campaign. Whether she decides to run - we'll have
to wait and see.

There's just one more thing that I'd like to add.
Trump's tax records should not have been made
public. They were entitled to go after the records
but they should not have published them. That goes
against fair treatment - we can't treat people
unfairly even if we may not like them. It's a bad
reflection on the justice system and democracy.

People should be treated equally, even if they happen
to be a former president.

Am I wrong?
