he affluent suburb of Paradise Valley in Arizona is a traditional Republican stronghold.
With multi-million-dollar homes dotting a desert filled with towering saguaro cactus plants, its residents enjoy a choice of more than half a dozen golf courses, discreet upmarket shopping centres and award-winning restaurants, all nestled against the spectacular backdrop of Camelback Mountain.
Donald Trump stormed to victory here in 2016.
Paradise Valley is part of Maricopa County, an area of 2.1 million voters which includes the city of Phoenix and its outlying areas and which has voted Republican for as long as anyone can remember.
Yet in 2020, Maricopa County delivered a bombshell when voters turned in droves against President Trump in favour of Democratic rival Joe Biden.
'It was seismic,' says life-long Republican Benny White, who unsuccessfully ran for local office and found himself being chased down driveways by furious residents branding him a 'Trumper'.
'People just turned against Trump. He became a visceral figure of hate. I was chased away. People were screaming abuse at me.'
Losing Maricopa County – and, subsequently, Arizona itself – proved fatal for Trump, who continues to insist the election was 'stolen' from him, a claim which has been roundly refuted and which his critics have dubbed the 'Big Lie'.
Yet today in Paradise Valley (population: 14,362), things are feeling rather different. The November 2020 election seems a long time ago. And for the former President, that could be very good news.
Many Paradise Valley voters regret switching their support to Biden. And when The Mail on Sunday visited last week, they said they'd now rather vote for Trump, should he choose to run again.

And now those millions of moron have gotten exactly what they deserve, good and hard, from Biden. Hopefully, they have learned their lesson. An abrasive asshole is a better president than a senile moron.
Agreed. So that's why Trump has a second chance if he runs a smart campaign.
WOW! This is testimony that American folk are FED UP and want their lives back! This is the beginning of massive rallies for Trump! Short of the FBI DOING a JFK on Trump, the nomination is his for the taking....85% want him to be our presidential candidate. This is going to be so darn good another championship rematch between Trump and the she-devil Hillary! Are you ready to rumble? Bring it on Hiltery bring it on!
This is why Trump is running around today talking up the vaccines. The swing voter who helped him win in 2016 and cost him the 2020 election is a suburban nitwit Karen who would get a vaccine every 48 hours if that dope Fauci said it was a good idea.
Are you kidding ? We looked forward to whoever he burned! Its not like he made up the insults about them. He saw the person and commented truthfully on them! Funny how we became a bunch of pussies when its a republican speaking, but Truman can give em hell, and Biden can call Republicans segregationists and racists and not a peep from you on how aggressive they sound. Go back to your soy. This is a country for real men!
Save America
BINGO..We have a WINNER!
(some people oh here cant handle the truth..its called normalcy bias...It was a coup...pure and simple...it needs to be sugar coated before they accept the truth.....Same thing with the Wuhan Flu...it came from a wet market of which China has thousands..it was just a fluke that it came from the 1 place in China where they were doing GOF on bat viruses ...it those types of people that will believe it's raining while you pee on their shoes...)
AMEN! Time for being level headed is out the window when Biden Pelosi Schumer and all of them called us the American patriots people who love America homegrown terrorists, racist etc. it’s time to fight tooth and nail sooooooo FJB! The Democrats destroyed any respect they had left! So Trump call it like it is! Obtw, Remember when congresswoman Tlaib at a local televised rally said F**k Trump?
He needs to at least disavow mandates.
Trump rallies have become exercises in deserved Biden bashing and deserved aelf-adulation. It is refreshing to see that Trump’s popularity has not waned. The enthusiastic MAGA mood gives me hope for the future but it also gives me a chilling reminder how all that enthusiasm came crashing down in a matter of hours during the 2020 election theft showing that the Deep State calls the shots in this highly politically vulnerable country. The crowds are as big as they were before 2020 but so are the number of the Deep State dwellers.
Trump will screw it up. Just as he did in 2020.
And he will be 79. No more fossils for President.
“Millions of other voters decided they were sick of his personality and voted for the other guy instead”
How many millions?
A person can serve ten years.
For example, if Biden quits on 1/20/23….Harris could finish his term and run twice.
Obviously that is an example that would never happen.
>>Trump’s personality is a negative. He needs to tone it down.<<
Finally a voice of reason.
He needs the Independent vote. And he would not get it. It doesn’t matter was Republicans want. Soccer moms got sick of his BS.
That’s why I encourage DeSantis to run. I think there’s a chance that Trump might decide and say. “Okay I am not going to run. But I declare my support and devote the MAGA movement to DeSantis.”
Let’s go Brandon.
That's not what I wrote. Read what I wrote again.
Iran has ideas to drone him
So what state and county do you live in so we can test your claim?
