Will America be great again under Biden?

America First and America will be Great Again are the catchphrases for ever linked to Donald Trump. Even now whenever he or one of his chosen politicians make speeches they unfailingly refer to their promise to "make America Great Again". But the chances are that if Joe Biden's luck continues the way it has gone so far, he could well be able to look back on his "first" four years in office and claim that under his administration the economy has boomed, jobs have rocketed and the pandemic has been finally defeated. All the signs are that unless something goes seriously wrong, the United States is on its way back to unrivalled prominence and Biden himself is shaping up to be a president on a rollercoaster. If he makes Amrica Great Again what will happen to Trump and his future political ambitions? Biden doesn't go around shouting like he did that he was returning the nation to Greatness but in his own quiet and persistent way he is making a damned good fist of it, as we say in Britain. With more than 51 per cent of the targeted population now vaccinated at least once, Biden can feel confident that by the late summer the whole country should be jabbed with one or other of the vaccines, and the more jabs there are the more the economy will open up. By 2024 if Trump does decide to stand again for the presidency, he will not have anything like the political momentum that drove him to the White House in 2016. Biden will be able to turn to him and say: "Donald, America IS great again, just look at the economy. The country no longer needs or wants you." Trump will have to start thinking of a new catchphrase to give himself a chance in 2024. Perhaps, "I can make America even greater".
