British political scientist Robert Thomas sheds light on Donald Trump's enduring influence in American politics, despite facing numerous scandals.

In a statement to Ednews, Thomas emphasized Trump's enduring popularity among certain segments of the American electorate. He noted that Trump's unique approach to issues, characterized by a capitalist rather than purely political perspective, resonated with many Americans, fostering a perception of sincerity.

However, Thomas highlighted that Trump's handling of the pandemic and the subsequent lack of preparedness significantly tarnished his administration's image. The frequent mentions of Trump in legal proceedings further damaged his public relations.

Thomas underscored the complex nature of US politics, emphasizing that American voters, largely non-elite, may be swayed by populist rhetoric. He noted that Biden's presidency has faced challenges, with some viewing him as an "elderly figure" and progressive right-wing trends posing a threat to the Democrats.

Despite facing scandals, Thomas believes Trump remains a formidable contender in future elections. He cautioned that Biden's prospects may not be promising, given Trump's enduring popularity and the historical continuity of US foreign policy regardless of the party in power.

Thomas concluded by emphasizing the enduring stability of US foreign policy, asserting that changes in leadership do not fundamentally alter the country's overarching strategic objectives.
