trump was a weaker leader that looked like he actually gave a fuck about people.
If he was a strong leader he would have done what lincoln did when the democrats used voter fraud to steal an election.

Nah, that would not have worked in this day and age.
Trump was a bull in a china shop we needed to expose the corruption in DC, but his ego and need to overhype his own accomplishments made him less effective than he could have been.
Plus, he's still not admitting 'his' vax's are showing a lot of nasty side-effects and are causing more harm than good.
Trump's inability to admit and own his own fuck ups and need for constant ego stroking are his biggest flaws, and why we should be backing DeSantis and telling Trump to put his own ego behind the needs of the GOP and American populace.

Is that why he failed at all of his core campaign pledges despite a Republican Congress and majority on the Supreme Court? People still having any loyalty to that charlatan and the Republican Party at large are exactly why the country is in the shape it is in; at this point, there's no excuse, you're just being willing rubes to the same elites that gleefully rape your kids and kill your communities with opioids.

What incident are you actually referring to here?

He had another major flaw. His inability to staff positions with people outside the establishment had a much stronger affect on his efficacy. You can be an attention whore and a narcissistic but still delegate properly.
I don't disagree, but based on stuff I heard after the election was stolen, Judas Pence made most of the staffing decisions, and was also likely the source of a lot 'leaks' that happened in the Trump Admin.

Really? Now that is interesting. So not only was he bad at delegating, he compounded this by letting someone else make the decisions he should have made? Damn, is this why we got Ajit Pai?
More like Trump didn't have a great grasp on the inter-personal politics and personalities of DC, and Pence did, and Trump mistakenly thought his own VP would be on his side.
That assumption cost him a second term, and is costing the rest of the US so much more.

just search for "lincoln mail in ballots"
Yes it would.
USA has the death penalty.
And arrest and persecution on political grounds literally happens every couple of years in other countries and the notion that it won't happen in your country specifically is just stupid
Not to mention the fact that it is literally happening as the democrats have been making political arrests ever since they performed their coup (and installed a literally demented geriatric as a puppet). And those political arrests have involved ignoring various rights (just sitting in prison for years without even starting trial is supposed to be illegal)
That too. you can't drain the swamp by just staffing all positions with existing insiders.

I suspected you might be talking about the Baltimore thing. What was the extent of Lincoln's involvement there, that should be aspired to as strong leadership? I thought he just signed off on a punishment he didn't even come up with after they were caught etc.
SparkToro used the same audit on Musk himself and found that nearly 70.2% of Musk’s 93.3 million Twitter followers were fake.
So he can acquire twitter even cheaper once the audit is finished.

Difference is, Musk has no direct gain from being perceived as more popular than he is. He's not running for office.
Biden, on the other hand, is in desperate need of an appearance of popularity, otherwise him receiving 'the most votes ever' in a presidential election would be even more obvious nonsense.

I was literally quoting from the article posted because I found it an amusing point.

A decreased chance of being targeted by angry mobs? Wanting people to trust him while he sells hypothetically remotely sabotagable cars and is working on brain-computer interface?

I will note there are legit reasons for bots to be following people on Twitter. I have some friends big on Crypto and they use Twitter bots to follow a number of whales to keep track of what said whales are investing in at any given moment, they feel it gives them an edge in their buying if they know which direction the movers and shakers are going.
