Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

"So the most important part of what's coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta," Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump's comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

Fascism and dictatorships are not good for business. International trading partners won't want anything to do with businesses located in the United States if this happens. A democracy provides a trustable and reassuring legal framework to ensure stability of contracts. International complaints are not going to be upheld under a Trump government.

This is why everyone knows you don't do business with China.

Although if you have to have a dictator I suppose Donald Trump is probably the best dictator since he and his staff are regularly outwit by squirrels and things found growing under stones.

*you're

when calling other people stupid, it is best to know basic grammar. Just a tip!

so, I am going to conclude that you think echo dot's take is a real argument and even support said stance.

so why, if you look at reality, are authoritarian shitholes always the darlings of corporations.

oh I don't care about that, I just thought you looked like you needed the help

Like capitalization of 'When'? :D

Aside from that, fully support your point.

I never called him an idiot, so my grammar can be as poor as I like.

Really? That must be news to the thousands of US companies who do business with China all the time.

Fascism and dictatorships are not good for business.

I don't think that this is really true at all.

It may pose additional risks for small businesses but that's not so for multinationals. looking to exploit populations, resources, or markets.
