USA 2024 presidential election

Whether you like it or not, the votes that swung it in favour of Trump did not vote for him,( they may actually hate him )they voted for his policies. If you keep hitting people hard in their pockets they are going to hit back and no better place than to do it at the polling stations.

The vote he got from the Latino community is staggering .

If all of this is true, why would they vote for him if Biden's presidency improved their bottom line? Populism tends to thrive in economic misery. If things are so good, why rock the boat?

Whereas Trump by comparison would have lowered taxes, given energy credits and doubled social welfare rates? Sorry, I don't see it

why does every event need to be made out to be a catastrophe these days? Trump was president for 4 years before and the sky didn’t fall down. People really need to relax

If he can end the wars in Ukraine/ME will all sides feeling satisfied, then who cares what he does with China and the rest. He talks out of both sides out of his mouth anyway.

Don't for a second you'll see any of this bullshit 20% tariff on imports. He knows that's bad for business so that won't happen.

I'm not as pessimistic as most on here. The multi nationals won't be packing their bags from here anytime soon like some were posting about here.

His focus will be on his homeland and sorting out immigration and health.

Illegals don't have a vote, so the Hispanic vote he got, may well want the Hispanic criminals out as much as anyone else

Seems like it but in reality those hispanics have the same concerns as white Americans. They want a safe and secure America for their kids. And are likely more religious so the Dems don't really appeal there either.

You see it in Europe as well. Former refugees from north African in Sweden voting for anti refugee policies because they're not happy with the messers coming over. Only loonies in the west support open border's and the Dems made a bollox of it.

Trying to understand why voters choose Trump is just impossible.

I think they projected their own fears and desires on to him to make him fit for them.

On every issue it makes no sense to vote Trump

The only area that is a possibility to me is Immigration, immigration immigration.

Centrist and Left politicians need to grasp the nettle that is immigration!! It can't be left to far-right or MAGA brigade to dictate!

Breakdown of population by state of Latino, i didn't realise Texas would be so high, well obviously though, being a border state, of course it is

That was also mentioned by a seperate panelist(American journo) to Turnbull that they can't(or won't) work together to get the issue fixed

Mass unvetted Immigration putting strain on resources and competing with the poorest Americans for resources isn't going to go down well. 20% is a sizable percentage and can make the difference.

I suppose this time he's prepared, everything is in place and he has all his cronies at the ready to take up positions where as first time it all kind of fell on him, he didn't expect to win, the senate is his too, he has a lot more power now and as I said is ready this time with a plan, he'll also be looking to leave a legacy behind him and settle scores, we know he's vindictive enough so I can understand the worry.
