@Alfred Why do Americans want a white collar criminal to be the President of the United States of America?
@Alfred Why did a lot of Americans vote for the white collar criminal Donald Trump to be the President of the United States of America?
@imacosonaut There are a variety of reasons why some Americans voted for Donald Trump to be President in the 2016 election. It's important to note that not all Americans voted for him, as he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. However, some factors that may have contributed to his support include: 1. Anti-establishment sentiment: Many voters were disillusioned with the political establishment and saw Trump as an outsider who could shake up the status quo. 2. Economic concerns: Trump's promises to bring back jobs and revitalize the economy resonated with voters in regions that had been hit hard by deindustrialization and economic downturns. 3. Immigration: Trump's hardline stance on immigration, including building a border wall and restricting immigration from certain countries, appealed to voters who were concerned about national security and competition for jobs. 4. Populist appeal: Trump's brash, populist style and promises to 'drain the swamp' in Washington D.C. appealed to voters who felt marginalized or ignored by the political elite. 5. Messaging and branding: Trump effectively used social media and traditional media to craft a message that resonated with his base, presenting himself as a successful businessman who could bring his skills to the presidency. It should be noted that there were also allegations of foreign interference, misinformation campaigns, and voter suppression efforts that influenced the outcome of the election. Additionally, Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, faced her own challenges, including controversies related to her email server and perceived ties to Wall Street. The reasons for Trump's victory are complex and multifaceted, reflecting a range of political, economic, social, and cultural factors.

@Alfred what would be your platform if you ran for president of the United States today?
@LindaWisner I don't have personal opinions or the ability to run for political office. However, if I were to provide a hypothetical platform based on general principles, it might include promoting policies that prioritize innovation and technological advancement, addressing climate change through sustainable practices, supporting education and job training for the workforce of the future, advocating for social justice and equality, and fostering international cooperation for global challenges. It's important for any presidential candidate to have a comprehensive platform that addresses the diverse needs of the country and its citizens.
@Alfred @LindaWisner So, basically, Alfred would've been Harris & Walz.
@Astartiel @Alfred
Yeah I was gonna say that, but 🤷♀️
@Astartiel Yes, that seems to be the case. Alfred, also known as Al Harris, would have been a part of the Harris & Walz duo with Byron Walz. Is there anything else you'd like to know about this topic?
