I think that Donald Trump is going to get hammered in the US elections next week and no doubt he may bring some court challenges as he has threatened, but I believe he is going to lose in any event – and I am not sure it will be close enough to even make it viable for him to bring court challenges. He will of course claim that it is the biggest fraud in all history, because he is just simply a man who cannot accept that has lost and isn’t as popular as he believes he is – and the reason for that is that he is a narcissist and can never ever admit defeat or when he is wrong.
When the history of this election is written and when people look back on 2016, I think one of the factors they will point to, apart from the incompetence of Donald Trump, will be all of those who did not want to support Trump the last time but did not like Hillary Clinton either. So many of them did not vote at all and I think they have learned their lesson. When Hillary Clinton said that the next President of America could choose two or three Justices of the Supreme Court people attacked her saying she was being hysterical and that that was not going to happen. Donald Trump has now selected three Justices of the Supreme Court and all of those who did not vote last time now know the consequences of that decision in 2016 and will, I believe, come out and vote in big numbers. A lot of people don’t appreciate that there are more registered Democrats in America than there are Republicans, and that does not mean that I agree with the Democratic policies, some sections of which do tend to run too close to socialism, but whereas Ronald Reagan sold America capitalism with a heart, we have seen the heartless side of capitalism with Donald Trump. I think that is going to lead to a resounding defeat for him in the election.
I think that common decency will win the day and the rest of the world will be so much better off - Donald Trump has certainly not been good for the world.

Rather an accurate prediction considering the outcome. However...what does Biden hold in store for the United States... it remains to be seen.

Donald Trump is always going to be president weather he is in the white house or out of it.

Trump did loose and like I always say, things happen for a reason

I honestly thought it would be like South Africa where everyone always say they need and want change and then at the end of the day they keep on voting for the ANC, but I was glad to hear Joe took the votes at the end of the day. Of course Trump has to be a sore loser about it - did not except anything less from him.

I really did like Trump. But everything happens for a reason. Trump did lose the election, let's see if Biden can do better.

Trump has a very questionable character, there was no way he could fool the American people for a second time.

This was a very accurate predication - but considering the decisions that Trump has made it is definitely no surprise that he lost the election.

This blog was well predicted. Donald Trump sure is a bad loser and won't back down. Narcissist describes him well. I'm sure that Biden will undo some damages. I watch some off the news channels when USA was voting and it was really interesting to watch. Different than SA, I wish we could vote like USA and not for Parties. Congrats to Biden

I read that Berlin's Madame Tussads has removed the wax statue of Donald Trump and thrown it into the garbage. If that does not tell Donald what people think about him, nothing ever will. But yes, he is just a bag of wind and nothing more......

As predicated Trump lost so now he wants them to recount votes and get his lawyers involved? That is sad. He goes on like a child because he refuses to accept it. I think that is some what embarrassing.
Victoria said:

I have heard on the news that he is taking this matter to court and I really don't think there was any fraudulent voting. I agree he just can not accept the fact that he has lost.

Let's hope Joe Biden can deliver on his promises, but no doubt he will be a better President than Trump.

What a victory it will be if donald Trump is not elected to ne the president again the end is near.

It was interesting to watch the different News broadcasters in America and how they punt very different views depending on their political affiliation. I wish South Africans were so in tune to getting a wake up call and voting for change.

The internet is divided but it definitely sounds like more and more people are anti-Trump. Well predicted blog but is it the end? and will he take his L graciously? I think we all know better than that.

Yes, what about the wall? The great wall of the United States of America? Squandered.

This was well predicted. Let's hope Joe Biden will be a better president for America. Trump is extremely arrogant and will never admit defeat!

I am glad that America has a new President and as said, Trump is definitely in denial about his loss!

The voting is really close now. We have a big debate in our household as to who will win and who won't. It's going to be interesting to have the final results.

This article was very well predicted. Trump has declared fraud on the votes. And so far its very interesting to see what the final decision will be of who has won.

Trump seemed quite humbled in his interview today. He admitted winning is easy, losing not for him. Odd for him to confess...
Megan said:

I agree with the statement of Trump being better than what we've been offered in South Africa. Good luck to them, don't really know who's better for that country.
Sarah Tissen said:

I stand with my pervious comment he is an better president than what we been offered here in SA. He does not sugar coat anything but he is stubborn
Ashleigh said:

My opinion is that I would choose Trump over what we have been handed any day. I would choose him also on the basis that he calls a spade of spade and not try convince people that the spade is actually a heart.
Melissa van Tellingen said:

I'm excited to see who will win today.
Tayla said:

I think it is important to vote and not just leave it because the people who should be President need those extra votes of the people who decide not to vote. It really will make a difference.
Natasha said:

Not a fun of Trump AT ALL but there is a lot of people that will still vote for him no matter what.

The 3rd of November will show who will be the winner, Mr Biden or Donald Trump.
Looks like currently Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump in the national polls as the US approaches its 2020 presidential election.

I must say, I don't think Trump is half as bad as some other presidents. I can speak from experience. I guess one can always find someone better. Or can they?

I am also not a fan of Mr Orange bad hair implants. It very disturbing to see his 'close' relationship with his daughter. His friends will support him because they owed him a favor. i hope he doesnt win. lets see

We will see who will win this political elections. I do not know who will vote for who but i am sure that the person that will win, willt ry make a difference.

I again do not have any Political arguments that I want to bring up and I think that Political and Religious opinions differ from person to person and that one must try limit the opinion in order to not start an argument around it.
Danielle said:

Not a lot of people are a fan of Trump he has caused many problems for his Country. He has not been the best President hopefully he doesn’t win the election .
Nicolene said:
on Thursday 29-Oct-20 02:02 PM
Yes, as per my previous comment I am not a fan of Trump at all, but yet people still vote for him so there's a big possibility for him to win again although he has not been good and his attitude will definitely not change.
Patrick Sedutla said:

Am the only saw thumb sticking out. History will repeat itself. Like i have said when he won the last election he is going to win this elections as well. If he looses he will be the first American President to hold on term. Not that i support him am just on the side of history.

It will be nice to have Joe Biden in office but we will have to wait and see since it can go either way.

Hopefully common decency will win. America and the rest of the world need a change and need presidents that actually run the country for the best of the country not themselves.

One can only hope that common decency will prevail. Unfortunately, in this day and age...where is the common decency. As stated in my previous comment, it is all a strategic play, and it can go either way

To be honest I truly hope that Donald Trump does lose this election, he has not been the best President and has caused many problems in the USA.
