In other words, everywhere you look, Trump and his people are destroying the country. He doesn't know what to do with the economy. First, presidents don't have much power to cut prices, and people now understand that fact and that Trump deceived them last year. He's going to give Putin most of what he wants. His pursuit of his perceived political enemies will be extremely unpopular and will soon see his numbers drop to the mid-30s if he continues at this rate. And all these incompetent and corrupt henchmen are not helping. The movement is falling apart.
And this will embolden both Trump’s opponents and those who were in his crosshairs. Seven months ago, law firms and universities feared Trump. I bet there aren't many now. It was so inspiring and important to see the citizens of Chicago, Evanston and many other places rise up against Trump and his masked agents in their raids. It was nice to see Zoran Mamdani circling him, and Trump's passive behavior that day was telling. Even the Beltway Democrats, or at least some of them, are showing some game.
People can't hate incompetence. They may not hate corruption. And they may not hate extremism. But all three at once? People are getting overwhelmed and this is a great way to end the year.
