Of course, Donald Trump is going to win the US election, of course he is.

I've been saying that since July on this programme, not that anyone will listen to me.

He would have also whipped Biden like a bottle of cream.

Too many Americans are hurting with the cost of living, and that's all the motivation you need really to get out and vote, isn't it?

Republicans are doing it early in record numbers, which they don't normally do, including in the swing states.

In Georgia, half of the 8 million eligible voters there went early, which is astonishing.

They also included 700,000 people who never voted in 2020.

Now, why would they be voting this time around?

You could say it might be the fact it's a, you know, a female or woman of colour that they're wanting to elect, but the polls show the more likely motivation is financial.

You feel poor pissed off and you vote the current lot out, be it Biden or Harris.

Plus, Harris hasn't helped herself swearing black and blue that Bidenomics is working when people know in their pockets that it's not blindly defending Biden's mental state despite everyone thinking he's gone doolally.

It's sort of reminiscent of Jacinda Ardern. She refused to call the cost of living crisis a crisis despite the fact It's like the toughest economic period in a generation. It enrages people when you do that, and calling Trump a Nazi or a fascist isn't going to stop him because people don't vote for Trump because he's a saint, do they?

Add to that the fact that the markets are pricing in a Trump victory, the fact he always does better on election day than in the polls because his voters don't like pollsters and that while he's not ahead in the popular vote, his polling now is higher at this stage of the campaign than when he won in 2016.

Add those things together, you have a pretty strong case.

I think that Donald Trump is going to take back the White House this week.
