If Donald Trump was still in the White House....?

I suspect our anxiety level would be much higher than it is at present.

He would still be on his Twitter machine, still churning out the lies and propaganda for his millions of hungry followers.

The war in Ukraine would probably look much different than it does today. Does anyone think they would be receiving any weapons from America to help in their defense? The Republican Party would be following the lead of Donald Trump.

Also, it is very doubtful that NATO would be united as they are today. Europe would be an entirely different place if Donald Trump was still in the White House.

We can only imagine the domestic policies that we might be fighting at this time. He would not have been a benevolent dictator in his second term. More likely, he would have been a cruel tyrant.

However impatient we may be with AG Garland and the lack of prosecution for Trump and his lackeys, if Trump had been re-installed in the White House, there would have been a very different J6 Committee, if at all, and we would have very little of the information we have today.

We should take the time to be grateful that Joe Biden is sitting in the White House.
