Trump, Biden both backed by Zionists in November election: Analyst

US President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden are both backed by the Zionist lobby and the election of neither portends anything good for the country, says a former US Senate candidate.

Mark Dankof, who is also a broadcaster in San Antonio, Texas, made the remark during a phone interview with Press TV on Saturday.

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has brokered normalization deals between the Israeli regime and two Arab states -- the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

For Trump, the trend of Arab-Israeli normalization has become closely linked to his reelection campaign. The embattled incumbent views this as a foreign policy achievement that could please the Zionist lobby and energize his base after his other big foreign policy initiatives—from the so-called Deal of the Century to containing North Korea and Iran—have all failed.

“The Trump situation is full of all kinds of problems; he is following a pro-Zionist foreign policy and a pro-neoconservative foreign policy since he was elected to office. That is not what ‘America First’ is all about,” Dankof told Press TV on Saturday.

Trump has increased the number of his campaign rallies in recent weeks even as major cities across the United States have been the scene of widespread protests against police brutality and racial injustice.

The US incumbent has taken a hardline stance against the nationwide rallies, saying the Democratic Party and its presidential nominee are behind the violence to tilt the Black vote to their favor.

Outcome of a disputed US vote: A ‘Hot Fall’ or an ‘Icy Crusade’?

If popular and electoral college votes don’t correspond that will mark the third instance in the last six elections.

Trump has also portrayed himself as a leader who can revive the economy and claimed that the victory of his "weak" Democratic rival would only worsen the crises besieging the country.

Biden on the other hand described Trump’s four years in office as chaotic and said the president has “cloaked America in darkness,” and caused fear and division among the public.

“The other issue of course is that in Trump's case, the national debt of the United States continues to increase astronomically and there's unbelievable political instability in this country, the likes of which I have not seen,” Dankof added.

“I would simply underscore the fact that both of the major political party candidates are backed by Zionists, both backed by corporate interests, both backed by a large number of people who favor aggressive foreign policy toward Iran, and China and Russia, which could produce the very end of the United States itself, alongside of the national debt and alongside of the incredible political instability in this country where incivility is increasingly being replaced by absolute confrontation in both present and future promises of violence,” he underlined.

Trump vs Biden: who has the edge?

Once a savvy and cunning business man who made a fortune following the success of his father’s investments in the property market, next, he was hiring and firing candidates on a televised entertainment show.

The former US Senate candidate described the election campaign as a “very ugly scene,” and said, “I believe Trump will win the election in the electoral college, but nonetheless it portends nothing good for the United States if he does win, or if Biden wins, because of the fundamental problems in the United States that are not being addressed by either of these candidates, or by their entrenched political parties.”

During the four nights of the Republican National Convention last month, Trump spared no effort to paint a bleak picture for Americans under a Biden administration and leveled the accusation that Democrats sought to “steal” the forthcoming election by expanding the use of mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic.

This is while postal voting is a method that has already been in wide use in the United States, and Democrats say the measure would be needed to protect people from contracting COVID-19 in crowded polling stations.

Biden leads in 3 swing states Trump aimed to flip

US Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a considerable lead over President Donald Trump in 3 swing states, namely, Minnesota, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Trump’s resistance to absentee voting has been largely discredited by political experts as an attempt to make up an excuse to challenge the result of the upcoming election if he is defeated.

Biden is leading in opinion polls ahead of the November 3 election.
