Donald Trump's long march towards his revenge therefore ended in triumph. What are the reasons why the Republican billionaire was able to return to business?
We have identified five of them.
Tour d’horizon.
The tenacious desire for revenge of a former president who has never digested his defeat
Since the evening of his 2020 defeat against Joe Biden, Donald Trump has never accepted that he could have lost the White House to his Democratic rival. Weakened by his stubborn refusal to recognize Joe Biden's victory, coupled with the events at the Capitol and the legal cases surrounding him, Donald Trump nevertheless methodically prepared his revenge. For four years, he therefore embarked on a permanent campaign, surveying the country and holding a series of meetings in front of white-hot “MAGA” supporters. Trump, having the Grand Old Party under his control, made it a weapon of war to wage a merciless struggle against his successor and rival.
The Republican Party primary was almost only a formality for an indestructible Donald Trump.
After this milestone, the Republican billionaire engaged in a fight to the death with Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris.
Butler's “miracle”
On July 13, while at a meeting in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt by a sniper. The far-left activist's bullet grazes the ex-president. Miraculously unharmed, Donald Trump stands up, covered by Secret Service agents, his face bloodied, his fist raised, shouting “ FIGHT ! » in front of an excited audiencea “Stars and Strip” (Nnlr: American flag) in the background. The image goes viral, the iconic man gains the status of quasi-martyr of an America that refuses to be defeated, literally and figuratively.
An outgoing president forced to give up
Weakened by a failed debate against his Republican competitor at the beginning of June, considered too old, even senile by some of his own supporters, worried about the repeated blunders of “Creepy Joe” (Editor's note: Joe the Gaffeur, nickname given to Joe Biden by Donald Trump), Joe Biden feels the wind turning in favor of his rival. A fortnight after the failed attack on Butler, Joe Biden, in a letter published on his X/Twitter account, made public his decision to renounce running for office in his own succession.
The Musk asset
Undeniably, Trump was pushed to victory by the support of the richest man in the world, theThe multi-billionaire and eccentric Elon Musk. The owner of Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and X/Twitter decides to publicly support Donald Trump in his battle to take back the White House from the Democrats following the failed attack on Butler. At the beginning of last August, he even received the Republican candidate for a two-hour live video interview on his social network, an interview with a friendly tone, followed by nearly a million people. Now appearing alongside Donald Trump, Elon Musk is described by the press as the Republican's “unofficial future vice-president”. Determined to destroy wokism, which he accuses of having “stolen” his son, who became a transgender woman and having severed all ties with his father, Elon Musk therefore embarks on a real crusade against the woke and LGBT progressivism of the Democrats, putting all its energy and colossal financial resources at the service of Donald Trump.
An opponent who makes the same mistakes as Hillary Clinton
Chosen by default, following Joe Biden's resignation, his vice-president Kamala Harris was nominated as candidate during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 19. A time driven by flattering polls, boosted by a mid-September debate deemed successful against his Republican opponent, “Kamalamania” finally ran out of steam. Until the final result. In a critical editorial, journalist Franz-Olivier Giesbert returned to the errors that cost Kamala Harris her victory. She committed exactly the same tactical – and even moral – mistakes as Hillary Clinton in 2016, already facing the same opponent. Errors which were: class contempt (Clinton speaking of “deplorables” regarding Trump voters, Biden, a few days before the 2024 election, calling them “garbage”), obsessions with minorities to the detriment of “ Middle America” downgraded and abandoned, media focus on the support of stars and show business (Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Cardi B, etc.) in the face of Donald Trump who was putting on a show.
Basically, no one has ever understood the project led by Kamala Harris. Who even remembers his campaign slogan?
Blessed bread for Donald Trump who clearly hears, once again and for four more years, “Make America Great Again”.
