The vote gap has always been there (43-54 vs. 54-44 for men and women respectively in Bush vs. Gore, for instance).

The thing is, like I said in another post, losing ground with Hispanics and Blacks + non-college-educated White voters = electoral college destruction. Swapping them for (very minute, looks like) gains in suburbs can't make up for it.

This is what happens when you secure the McDonald's voters

People are dissatisfied and look for alternatives, we see it in Europe and also USA. Well Europe better buckle up, because Trump sees EU as a foe and EU would be wise to look at USA the same. It's time for the EU to look to the east and the south instead of the west.

If everything holds steady, Trump could literally try to pursue a bigger blowout by putting the "popular vote faithless electors" pledge to the test. He could expose that for the fraud it's always been.

Trump wants more import taxes, against Europe and China.
You know that anything he puts up, is going to be returned back at him.
So America exports to EU will be 20% more expensive, and vice versa.
Meanwhile a 60% import tax to china... will make all the imports Americans love so much rise in price.

Imagine the next Iphone just jumps 60% in price, because its made outsides the USA.
That is not going to help the inflation we experience any.

This is feeling like the re-election Trump would’ve had four years ago if not for some of his stupider antics around COVID.

Indeed. 

Well those are the plans USA citizens supports, I doubt EU will do the same though. Also when it comes to the US this a huge net win for the US since they:

Import a lot more from EU than export

It's time for EU to start rationalising trade with China as cooperation will bring EU and China much further than demonisation. That will permanently destroy the transatlantic agenda, but let's be fair that agenda has been dead for a long time. Will be interesting to see if PS5 and Switch 2 will increase in price.

Peanut and Fred deaths also, they became martyrs in death and pushed men towards Trump and away from the establishment in the last moments of the election. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up in WW3, Peanut will go down in history as the shot heard round the world as with Franz Ferdinand, It'll all tie back to that one moment they took an innocent squirls life. 

Watching it on danish tv.
They legit mentioned "perphaps its time we look eastwards".

And yes, EU will retaliate in turn, to import taxes..... trade wars... Its gonna kick off again.

Your right about USA 's imports and exports.
The US imports $700 billion and exports $600 billion to the EU.
Its not a massive difference, so 20% on both, is going to cost Jobs and hurt the economy.

Also if goods favor the EU, maybe some services or such favor the US.
Its probably pretty even overall.  20% tax, is just going to hurt both sides.
