Love him or hate him, when tariffs sink in, there's not a single person who will be able to look at Trump the same way.

He has nuked our economy and few will escape the consequences.

that rump is destroying the US so quickly that it will become apparent to even the most die hard fans that he is toxic to our country and way of life, and he has to go. But, I don't think it's Congress who has to do it. People voting can maybe do it if here is a free and fair election.

Also, for 25A, the VP has to do it. That's not likely to happen, and there are those that say Vance would be worse. I'd rather take my chances with vance. But it seems like we are stuck in the muck for awhile.

Keeping pressure on both musk and trump is important. It is more likely that trump will fall on the golf course than vance doing a 25A, unless those shadow people instruct him to do so.

a Midterm blood bath! I think that middle class losses will be the deciding factors, along with all those fired workers. It isn't just them. It's all their families, friends, and sympathetic voters who don't think it was fair.

Also notice how rump has apparently stepped away from governing. He turned musk loose, and Bob. Remember Bob, when trump said he was going to let him do anything he wanted to our healthcare system? So, what's rump doing? Golfing for money for himself. Holding candlelight dinners for millionaires to bask in his "holy" presence. Making personal money for himself, while our soldiers return home in boxes, and the stock market crashes.

Yeah, I think the optics are so bad that even GOP is becoming fatigued. There are no winners there. They will be lucky to escape the eyes of history when we have defeated rumpy.

Melania--she looks at him as if he were a stinking pile of week-old offal.

There doesn't appear to be anything that changes that.
