Prediction: Biden Will Trounce Trump and Kevin Durant Will Join LeBron

Joe Biden will trounce Donald Trump in 2020, especially if he promotes his wife, increasing her visibility, and remains a centrist Democrat. And, Kevin Durant will leave the Golden State Warriors to join LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Joe Biden will most certainly trounce Donald Trump in the 2020 election, particularly if he highlights the difference between his wife, Jill, and Trump’s wife, Melania. Americans will feel proud of being represented around the world by the Biden’s since they represent American values, while the Trump’s do not. Most Americans, in fact, are embarrassed by the Trump’s. What’s more, in the coming months Trump will probably be exposed as a corrupt liar, an obstructer of justice, possibly a money launderer, indebted to an adversarial foreign power, and even unpatriotic, being willing to change America’s foreign policy in exchange for personally beneficial business deals. Consequently, there is a real possibility that Trump will not be the Republican candidate in 2020, either because he loses in the Republican primaries, or because he is impeached and removed from the presidency. He may even be indicted and convicted after the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel rule against indicting sitting presidents is annulled, being found unconstitutional and fraudulent.

As for Kevin Durant, rumors are that he will join the New York Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets. The probability is, instead, that he will join LeBron and the Lakers, for various reasons. First, LeBron needs to be paired with at least one other superstar on his team in order to win a championship. Second, as players, LeBron and Kevin are complementary in style, they would play very well together. Third, Kevin wants to win another championship, and with LeBron that will be very possible, whereas it would not be with either the Knicks or the Nets. Fourth, Durant has recently not been very at ease with the Warriors, and probably would like to leave them. Fifth, joining the Lakers and LeBron would ignite an intense rivalry with the Warriors, a real NBA fan pleaser.
