trump is feeling the pressure of the "boomerang".

the voting day for the us presidential election is approaching.

however, former us president and republican presidential candidate donald trump actually revealed that under one condition, he would no longer run for election.

what is going on here?

it turns out that trump never said he would withdraw from the 2024 us presidential election.

however, according to reports from china news network and other media, on september 22, local time, trump mentioned the 2024 us presidential election while participating in the tv program "measured overall".

the host asked trump:

“if you lose this election, will you run again in four years?”

trump's response was particularly crisp and clear: "no, not anymore. i think that's it."

why did trump answer like this?

in uncle hai’s opinion, it’s because “age is not forgiving”!

after all, he is already 78 years old.

before biden announced his withdrawal from the race, there were several confrontations, includingcnnin the televised debate organized by cnn, trump always said that biden was old and asked whether he could still make a living.

but doesn't he understand that he is also getting old? or even that he is already old?

anyway, when the "mature female tiger" harris took the field to replace biden to face trump, she also screamed "trump is old". that attitude is even worse than trump's dislike for biden being too old.

trump is feeling the pressure of the "boomerang".

of course, at the moment, it is impossible for him to announce his withdrawal from the election suddenly and seemingly without any warning like biden did and in light of the current situation.

after all, he and harris were in a fierce battle and the two were evenly matched.

try doing some math problems.

after biden dropped out of the race, trump has become the oldest us presidential candidate.

biden will also be 78 years old when he is elected president in 2020, but trump was born in june and biden was born in november.

for this reason, if trump wins the election, he will replace biden and become the oldest us president when elected.

moreover, if trump wins the election, he will become a very rare "returning" candidate to move into the white house.

everyone knows that trump is very dissatisfied with his defeat in the 2020 election.

at that time, the "loyalists" occupied capitol hill, and some american media analyzed that these trump supporters had close ties with trump.

but recently, someone broke the news that trump had issued a "secret warning" to the secret service, the national guard, the u.s. military, etc. in other words, he did not approve of the "loyalist army" attacking the capitol. he even hoped that the relevant u.s. agencies would be prepared to bring the offenders to justice as soon as possible.

of course, it is not known whether this is because another election is approaching in four years and some people are deliberately praising trump to increase his chances of winning.

in hai shu's opinion, biden is not running for the election anyway. no matter how much someone praises trump at this time, it will actually have limited impact on the democratic camp, such as harris.

xinhua news agency quoted an analytical article published by cnn on september 22, saying that this year's us presidential election is "the most evenly matched in this century" and "a slight change in any direction may lead to a very different result."

from what uncle hai has seen, neither the republican camp nor the democratic camp thinks they are sure to win so far.

as the cnn analysis article points out, what can be seen at present is that "the margin of advantage is often within the margin of error." and "if we take into account the electoral college system adopted in the us presidential election, it is even more difficult to judge the outcome of the two candidates."

attack,

or guard,

that's a problem for trump.

xinhua news agency quoted a cnn article saying, "although public opinion generally believes that harris defeated trump with a 'dominant performance' in the september 10 debate, this seems to have only increased her support rate by a few percentage points."

on march 5, voters cast their ballots at a polling station in petersburg, virginia, the united states. the 2024 u.s. presidential election ushered in the so-called "super tuesday" party primaries, and voters in more than a dozen states and u.s. territories voted for candidates on the same day. the primary election is the first stage of the u.s. presidential election. this year's u.s. election voting day is november 5. photo: xinhua news agency

trump's approach is that he has made it clear that he will no longer have a televised debate with harris.

in other words, the televised debates between trump and biden seem to have become a swan song from the 2020 us presidential election to the 2024 us presidential election.

the televised debate between trump and harris, organized by the american broadcasting corporation (abc), not only became the only televised debate between trump and harris, but also became their swan song.

after this swan song, of course, it will not be "white-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the river bank, watching the autumn moon and spring breeze." if trump loses the election, i think he will notmar-a-lago"accustomed to seeing autumn moon and spring breeze."

trump is not a person who can sit idle at all.

but what about the pressure of personal safety and security?

after all, during the us presidential election campaign, trump used his ears to block bullets, and "accidentally" encountered someone aiming an ak47 rifle at him while playing golf on his own golf course.

thanks to luck and the secret service's strenuous protection, trump is still relatively safe.

recently, trump also specially thanked the secret service security personnel.

that posture also shows his gentle side.

anyway, judging from trump's claim that he will never run for election again if he loses the election and will "retire from the arena", this is very trumpian.

but in addition to harris's confrontation with him, trump also encountered some unpleasant things.

ukrainian president zelensky, who is visiting the united states and has seen the ammunition production of an arms manufacturer in biden's birthplace, actually "blasted" trump's running mate vance.

zelensky said that vance's views on the russia-ukraine conflict are extremely wrong and will encourage russia to continue making mistakes.

zelensky did not seem to be aiming his attack at trump. but that was enough.

what else?

it is said that after attending the un general assembly and finishing his speech at the general assembly, zelensky will go to the white house to meet biden and also meet with harris.

there are also reports that he will definitely meet trump during his visit to the united states.

will trump set up a show of force to meet zelensky at a place like mar-a-lago? what can they discuss?

let's wait and see.
