The race for President of the United States is about democracy not dictatorship 😊. God help us with this mess ! 🙏

[Homeward]

The bit about Trump leading on 'Economy and Immigration' can be explained this way: People prefer to vote for anyone but Trump, except when they look at what really matters, then Trump leads Kamala. So, if we turn off our 'Feels' and use our intellect we see who obviously SHOULD lead the US.
