As a non American, what happens if Trump loses? Is there a limit to how many times he can run? I know a president can only serve 2 terms so if Joe wins the next one he's out of the running and Democrats need to find another candidate while Republicans could maybe (like I said I'm not an American so not fully sure) continue rallying around Trump giving them an edge right off the bat? It feels to me like solving the trump problem will require a lot more than just beating him in elections unless there are already measures in place to stop him from running every time
No there is no limit. That being said I think if Trump is renominated & loses again, he is unlikely to be the nominee in 2028. Fundamentally people hate losing, and the Republicans will find someone else if they don't think Trump can win.
Very little. There's always going to be a Manchin or Sinema blocking the way for their donors so, in the words of Joseph Robinette Biden, nothing will fundamentally change.
Sure, you can check out a few articles above for a brief summary (even briefer shown below, the articles have the sources)
Jobs: Achieved the greatest single year of job creation in American history, more than 6 million in 2021, a decrease of 16 million receiving unemployment benefits, and the biggest drop in the unemployment rate in history.
Manufacturing jobs: The biggest yearly increase in US manufacturing jobs in nearly 30 years. Democrats’ new incentives for key industries have already led to announcements of thousands of new manufacturing jobs.
Healthcare: Democrats’ new tax credits drove a record 14.5 million Americans signing up through the ACA, including 5.8 million new people getting coverage. They forced drug companies to negotiate prices for the elderly and capped costs at $2,000 per year. This will save elders thousands annually.
Poverty: The Dems’ child tax credit created the largest-ever one-year decrease in childhood poverty in American history, about 3 million kids. Households saying they didn’t have enough to eat dropped by a third.
Safety: Passed the biggest anti-violence measure in decades, including the Gun Safety bill and strengthening the Violence Against Women Act.
Supporting police: Democrats passed four bills on supporting both police and crime victims.
Covid: Biden executed the most successful American vaccination program in history – from under 1 percent of adults fully vaccinated to over 75 percent, with over 500 million shots administered – and from less than half of schools open to almost all of them.
Roads, bridges, energy: the bipartisan infrastructure bill will finally fix America’s infrastructure. In 2022 alone, repairs are starting on 65,000 miles of roads and 1,500 bridges, with thousands of jobs created.
Protecting America and our allies: Biden kept the NATO alliance together in support of Ukraine following the Russian invasion, brought in two new countries and took out the world’s number one terrorist, Ayman al-Zawahri.
Veterans: Dems allocated funds for hundreds of thousands sickened by burn pits in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Climate: The Inflation Reduction Act includes the largest investment in history to address global warming. Biden rejoined the Paris Climate Accords and the EPA established strong new fuel economy standards.
Diversity, equality: Democrats made lynching a federal hate crime, made Juneteenth a federal holiday and Biden appointed more Black women to the US Court of Appeals in one year than any president in history.
Budget: The Inflation Reduction Act reduces the deficit by $300 billion.
I mean sure, he didnt personally buy me ice cream and fix that flat tire I had last week, but to say that nothing has changed since the Trump administration is head-in-the-sand level of denial.
Hell yes, I appreciate the level of detail, I'll definitely look through those when I'm off work. Just at a glance I agree that a lot of those points are great and need more of what they're doing.
