CORONA DIARIES: PROSPECT OF RE-ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP

Donald Trump the current and 45th president of USA is facing a tough reelection bid in 2020. In 2016, Donald trump was elected president of USA in most divisive and controversial election of american history, proving every political pundit wrong. He defeated the seasoned politician and first female candidate of major political party of USA.

Till the beginning of this year, everything was going in trump's way. Economy was doing exceptionally well. Unemployment was record low. Entire republican party united behind trump which was not the case in 2016. trump's approval ratings among republican were 94%. He was impeached but quickly exonerated by republican controlled senate. Stock market were all time high. Abu-Bakr-Al-Bagdadi founder of ISIS is killed by US army. He eliminated Qassim Soulemani, head of Iran Quds force in the beginning of 2020. He tamed china by imposing tariffs on billions of dollars of import from china.

everything was going trump's way , all of sudden, this went upside down.Outbreak of corona virus in china, which spread like wild fire across the world. Trump initially dismissed the gravity of situation and refused to take drastic measure like shutting down of economic activities. But increasing number of cases forced him to shut the economic activity and hence millions become unemployed, share market tanked and with all this his prospect of reelection.He was accused of putting lives of American at risk for the sake of economy.

In 2020, He is against the Joe Biden( former Vice President) who is better candidate than Hillary Clinton in many ways :-

1- America is male dominated society and Hillary's gender is a disadvantage for her.

2- Joe is white Male with overwhelming support from the older population.

3- Being the VP of first black president of USA , He is trusted candidate for Afro-american population.This support was demonstrated during primaries.

4- He has full backing of Bernie Sanders who represents young and liberal voters of Party. He co-opted AOC ( socialist lawmaker from Newyork, Alexandria Oscio-cortez) to allay the fears of Bernie voters.

4- He also pledged to choose a woman as his running mate to garner the women support.

5- He has full backing of Former President Obama and entire Democratic party establishment.

6- Corona virus pandemic made trump extremely unpopular.

Downside of Joe Biden:-

1- Joe Biden long been part of democratic establishment, given the anti establishment mood of American voter, this may hurt him.

2- Shady dealing of his son Hunter Biden may hurt him during course of election.

3- He is currently facing allegation of sexual harassment from Tara Reade, his former staffer at this crucial juncture.

4- He is infamous for making gaffes, some are questioning his mental health because of all this gaffes.

5- He is not very social media savvy unlike Trump, so he is completely missing from national scene, which is very bad for a presidential candidate in election year.

Currently odds may be against President Trump but He also knows how to overcome these odds because that is what he was doing for last five years of his political life. He may rebound and prove the pundits once again wrong because Trump is always been and will be unpredictable.

So, Wait and watch! Picture Abhi Baki Hai Mere Dost!

In this condition, they have to undertake thousands of kilometres of journey and in this process many died, traumatized and stigmatized.
