Donald Trump

This month a presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump will be aired on the ABC network.

As the presidential election looms closer, it’s time to see the two candidates face each other in a debate, and this year that debate is more important than ever.

Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex.

On April 15, jury selection began in The People of the State of New York v. Donald Trump. This is the first-ever criminal trial of a former president of the United States, and it is one of four criminal and civil cases against Trump that are percolating before the presidential election of 2024.

As this year’s presidential campaign heats up, New Hampshire is once again playing a significant role as the first state in the nation to run a presidential primary.

Recently we saw a monumental verdict in federal court against one of Donald Trump’s primary co-conspirators in perpetuating the 2020 election lie — former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.

New York City has been known for two sensational media moments in the past few decades involving Donald Trump and the Central Park Five. Both have been synonymous with the city that never sleeps. Back in 1989, Trump was a real estate magnate known for extravagance and opulent ways but not known for taking political stands, Wall Street was wilding out with Gordon Gekko-type greed, and a jogger in Central Park was brutally attacked and raped.

It was always hard to see how working-class Americans could be fond of Donald Trump. He certainly had TV appeal, but his proposals provided few benefits for those with limited resources.

Much has been made in the news headlines of polls that purport to show Trump’s fading popularity. They give the impression that Trump is a dead letter politically among Republicans. The blunt reality is far different.

Racial discrimination has become so subtle that it is sometimes difficult to prove. Nonetheless, advocates for racial equality often avoid a debate over an incident that could well be considered as racial discrimination by renouncing it as the “white privilege” so common in American society. That is a lesser offense.

Public opinion in America is now divided. The issue is whether to support fascism or remain as patriot of a democratic republic. America’s future will depend on which path most citizens follow.

Former President Trump appointed three conservative justices to the Supreme Court, tilting the balance of the body. Trump would not have been seated as president were it not for the Electoral College, which put him in office despite losing the popular vote by more than 3 million votes.
