Trump's Back, And This Time It's Farcical

As the saying goes, if at first you don’t succeed, sulk like a toddler and baselessly claim that an election was stolen from you and then try, try again which is advice that Donald Trump has taken as the third fattest President ever to haul his massive carcass behind the White House desk is making another attempt to avoid going to prison for another four years.
For a man who tried to make his reputation as a brilliant businessman, five bankruptcies and now a tax fraud ruling against him tends to make me think that he wasn't such a hotshot in the boardroom but maybe his skill-set lay elsewhere.
As his Presidency ended with America sitting not so proudly at the top nation for Covid deaths and suggested drinking bleach as a cure then it wasn't caring for his own people and he took a $19.9 trillion national debt when he took the Presidency and increased it to $27 trillion when he left office so he wasn't any great shakes at national economics either but as his weight went from a hefty 16.9 stone (244 pounds) at the start of his Presidency to a morbidly obese 17.4 stone (244 pounds) when his morbidly dense supporters rioted 4 years later, he was good for the profits of fast food outlets as well as spray tan vendors so let's go with them.
I am hearing that even amongst Republican's and the American right-wing (who truth be told are not going to trouble the MENSA membership committee anytime soon) the chubby former President is losing favour because they have a new hero in Ron DeSantis who by all accounts is Trump without the lard or love of porn stars behind his wife's back.
I assume the draw of the Presidency for Trump is more to do with the immunity from prosecution, especially as he is facing a raft of court cases but it is hard to decipher what the American electorate will do, i thought after his misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan then George W Bush would be out on his ear but they re-elected him in 2004 so it is all to play for and we elected Boris Johnson over here so being an awful person is not the disadvantage it used to be to a politician.
If that malfunction did occur over there and Trump is able to call himself Mr President again then Americans may as well confess they are too terminally stupid to make use of their nation, offer all their resources at a fire-sale discount and await the inevitable split into North USA and South USA after the Civil War.
