Image Of A Presidential Candidate
By Pete Ketcham
As this 2024 presidential campaign ramps up two images (depending on what political party is rendering an opinion) of the candidates have emerged. One candidate (Trump) is overweight, a braggart, and grossly insulting to anyone he dislikes. The other candidate (Biden) is a corrupt lying senile old man who does not know where he is, what day it is, and what is the truth.
It would seem from the above descriptions both candidates are lacking in qualities necessary for a good president, but one could correct his deficiencies by losing weight, stop bragging, and stop insulting people. The other candidate is beyond correcting his deficiencies, and will just get worse.
Moving on from the personal characteristics of the two 2024 presidential candidates, the legislative accomplishments are quite a different matter, and are as follows:
Trump during his first term accomplished the following;
- Control of the border.
- Energy independence and record fossil fuel production
- Built up the military and a strong American image that our enemies respected
- Built a strong economy, and kept inflation under control.
Biden during his first term accomplished the following:
- Destroyed everything Trump had accomplished.
Conclusion
Even though there are numerous issues, this presidential contest between Trump and Biden will be a contest about which candidate can convince the majority of voters they are telling them the true facts about the issues, and that the other candidate is lying about the issues.
The Biden administration with the assistance of the mainstream news media, the national education system, social media platforms, and the entertainment world have a very powerful propaganda organization that is able to project a favorable image of Biden to the voters.
The Trump campaign with it’s MAGA theme does not have the media resources to compete with Biden, and will have to rely more on the social media platforms, rallies, talk shows, and Fox News to get their message out.
Whichever candidate wins, you can rest assured the Democrats will have used every illegal dishonest voting procedure to try to win, and neither side will accept the results if they “Lose The Election”.
