My absolute favourite one was from my husband, who said that Trump would take us to the brink of war. Hello - the world is already at war, we don't need to be taken to the brink, we're already there.
We've got two significant wars under way in two of the most worrying parts of the world - Europe and the Middle East - and neither of them are because of Trump, they started under Biden.
It's got me thinking - we need a bit of perspective here. People are really losing their minds over this.
We cannot predict what is going to happen in the future, but we have the past to guide us. So why don't we compare the last time Trump was President with the most recent period under Biden and see who wins at being the real crazy one here.
Because as far as I can see, Biden is the one who's been far worse for New Zealand. Sure, Trump introduced the steel tariffs on us and started a trade war with China - but last time I checked, Biden hasn't removed those tariffs and he hasn't ended the trade war with China.
So as far as I can see, they're basically the same as each other on that.
Under Biden, two new wars have started, both of which have put prices that we pay in New Zealand up. Under Trump, no new wars were started.
My husband was quick to point out North Korea and 'Rocket Man' and how they came close to staring a war - but they didn't. It might have nearly, but it didn't. Nothing happened, despite all the warnings.
Trump is too much of a crazy-maker - and other world leaders don't know how far they can push it with him and they suspect they can't, so they don't try at all.
That is why Putin invaded Georgia under Bush, Crimea over Obama and Ukraine under Biden - but there were no invasions under Trump.
Under Biden - never mind the threat of North Korea maybe doing something, two wars actually did happen. And they are worse than anything North Korea might have done.
Under Trump, the withdrawal from Afghanistan was orderly, and under Biden, it was an unmitigated disaster - which he was at the centre of - and it completely undermined America's credibility.
So before we get too hysterical about all the bad things Trump could do, how about we remind ourselves about all the bad things Biden did do? Get a bit of a grip, and ask ourselves - what would Trump actually have to do in the next four years to be worse than Biden?
Why weren't we as hysterical about Biden? Or is the hysteria just something we reserve for Donald Trump?

Heather unfortunately we are a bunch of far lefties driven by your ilk, the media who peddle this toxic far left is cool narrative. We have had enough. Trump all the way, he can't be any worse can he?
A very sensible analysis Heather.
"That is why Putin invaded Georgia under Bush, Crimea over Obama and Ukraine under Biden - but there were no invasions under Trump".
What we must understand about Russia is she does not want NATO expansion. However the globalists are intent on getting in there, too right that Putin ain't going to tolerate that, would the good ole U.S. Of A. not be the same?
Trump knows this. It's all in the history books. People like Josie Pagani think differently and think that the globalists just need to move on into Russia and divide it up for the Global American Empire. But that ain't going to happen.
I also find it so bemusing that some women are only worried about their fertility rights. I feel sorry for people with unwanted pregnancies. I also feel sorry for people with HIV infections.
I think that women know how to figure this out without putting the responsibility on the state or blaming the President.
As far ad Barry goes I just can't be bothered with his infantile delusions.
Barry, I meant Barry. Lol
Now that Trump has been elected, I see the Ukraine conflict ending ASAP, but I am reminded of 2 pertinent facts. Trump is a diehard supporter of Israel having previously spoken publicly of destroying Irans nuclear facilities, which is a huge mistake & the fact that the US economy is largely reliant on endless wars to keep them afloat (US armament manufacturers made 406 billion dollars in the first year of the Ukraine conflict).
Trump needs to do 2 things. Appoint somebody like Tulsi Gabbard to regulate & oversee the Pentagon & the armaments manufacturers & most importantly, sit down with Putin (who appears to be not only the sanest, but most moderate world leader) to broker the end of the Ukrainian conflict & who is probably the only world leader that can broker terms with the Arab leaders to reign in the Zionist warmongers. Either way, Zelensky, "Bibi" & their cronies must go in order to have peace. This is obvious.
