Summary

In the lead-up to the highly anticipated 2024 U.S. Presidential election, public sentiment reveals deep divides and impassioned viewpoints.

NEW DELHI: In the lead-up to the highly anticipated 2024 U.S. Presidential election, public sentiment reveals deep divides and impassioned viewpoints. Rohan Dua, Executive Editor of The New Indian, recently interviewed Natalie in Tennessee who crafts custom cookies and cakes.

 

 

She shared her thoughts on the current political landscape, expressing strong support for former President Donald Trump. โ€œIโ€™m going to go for Trump,โ€ Natalie said when asked who she thought would emerge victorious. She elaborated on her choice, pointing to her belief in Trumpโ€™s track record. โ€œTrumpโ€™s been president before; we had a great economy under him. So I donโ€™t really understand why anybody would want the same economy that weโ€™ve just had for the last four years,โ€ she stated, hinting at the perceived economic struggles under President Bidenโ€™s administration.

When pressed about her concerns regarding Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential leader, Natalie did not hold back. โ€œI think that she really doesnโ€™t have it together in her head. Sheโ€™s a terrible speaker. She canโ€™t answer questions, which is concerning,โ€ she said, emphasising her worries about Harrisโ€™s ability to handle international diplomacy. โ€œThinking of her being in front of many world leaders is a scary thought to me because I donโ€™t think sheโ€™s going to handle it well,โ€ she added.

 

 

Dua inquired further, asking what sets Trump apart and makes him a preferable choice in her eyes. Natalie responded with a clear focus on the former presidentโ€™s assertiveness. โ€œItโ€™s not that heโ€™s such a likeable guy, because heโ€™s not really, but he gets things done. He is not afraid to speak to anybody and no one intimidates him. He has a lot of confidence,โ€ she explained. She argued that these traits were essential for leading the U.S. on the global stage.

On the topic of President Biden, Natalie agreed when asked if she found him โ€œgoofy,โ€ chuckling at Duaโ€™s reference to lighthearted incidents involving the current president. However, her main focus was on Trumpโ€™s business acumen and potential to improve the countryโ€™s financial health. โ€œI think that he will actually get it done because heโ€™s a businessman and heโ€™s obviously a very successful businessman. So he knows what it takes,โ€ she noted.

The conversation shifted to a broader reflection on the American spirit, particularly in light of Trumpโ€™s recent pledge to overhaul the educational system by redirecting funds from certain private universities to an โ€œAmerican University.โ€ Natalie acknowledged the claim that U.S. institutions have suffered under Democratic influence. โ€œYeah, I can agree on that. I donโ€™t think that people have that same feeling of the American way like we used to,โ€ she remarked.
