So let’s war game a little bit on the assumption that Trump wins in November.
We all know he claims that he has a plan to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of becoming President. Yeah, pigs might fly too. The chances of him achieving that are about as good as my chances of having dinner with Margot Robbie. So his plan fails, then what? He will almost certainly withdraw US support for Ukraine, either partially or in full. That will obviously be a death sentence for Ukraine, because Europe can’t fill the void left by withdrawn US support. So at some point Ukraine will fall to Russia. Putin will be emboldened by his “win” and almost certainly invade Lithuania, who are hated by Putin. He may even feel bold enough to attack Poland, maybe Finland as well, due to his perceived threat that NATO presents to Russia and his personal ambitions to resurrect the old Soviet Union to some degree.
That’s what will probably happen in Europe if Trump wins. What about Asia? China, under Xi is watching events in Ukraine very, very closely - and the outcome of the US election perhaps even more closely. If we do end up seeing Trump win in November and he withdraws support for Ukraine to any degree, I’m certain Xi will see that as a green light to invade Taiwan on the belief that Trump will not want to get involved in what will surely be a very bloody war.
This is why I firmly believe that he must not win in November. It will be a colossal disaster that will likely see millions die.
If Donald Trump wins, it’s over
Three assassination attempts prove irrefutably that Trump is guilty of inciting violence
The imminent US election has been a constant source of anxiety for me. The prospect of a literal fascist returning to the White House has triggered my self-diagnosed PTSD. I haven’t been this distressed since my niece spat out the puberty blockers I smuggled into her rusks.
Donald Trump has consistently sown division and hatred. In this election campaign there have been three assassination attempts against Trump, thereby proving irrefutably that he is guilty of inciting violence.
If Trump continues to speak in public, no doubt more innocent people will be goaded into attempting to shoot him, thereby putting themselves in danger of being killed by the security services. This is reckless behaviour.
Trump’s connections to fascism are easily proven. For instance, his second wife was Marla Maples, who was born in the town of Cohutta in Georgia. Cohutta is an anagram of “Taco Hut”, which is a conflation of Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. These are both examples of popular restaurants. It is in restaurants that one often finds sausages. The country most associated with sausages is Germany. And Germany was the home of the Third Reich.
Arguably, matters are even worse here in the UK. In July’s general election, I was put in an impossible position. I was never going to vote for a straight white male in the form of Keir Starmer, but the ethnic minority candidate was Rishi Sunak, an evil Tory. In the end, I spoiled my ballot by drawing a huge X in the box next to Sunak’s name. It was a small protest, but it felt good.
Kamala Harris is now the only hope for America. She is both mixed-race and female, which is far more important than “charisma” or “competence”. She is half-Indian and half-Jamaican, which means that she is even more oppressed than Barack Obama. And let’s not forget that Obama’s mother was white, which always meant he was 50 per cent problematic.If Trump wins, I don’t think I will be able to cope. In fact, if he is elected again, I will be suing anyone who votes for him as compensation for my trauma. You have been warned.

Indeed.
