Is Distraction All President Trump Has Left?©

 Is Distraction All President Trump Has Left?© 

Today, S.E. Cupp published an opinion piece in the Midland Daily News. She has followed the President for ten years. Manys the time she thought he was finished, but “teflon Don” always seems to recover. However, now she thinks she possibly sees the beginning of the end in her article “This Really May Be the Political End for Trump.”   

She lists six reasons for her hope: 1) The polls, calling attention to the recent Gallup poll which shows the President’s approval down -24% from - 1% in January. Only Nixon was worse than this at the same point in his second term. 2) The economy, thanks to tarrifs, DOGE cuts, “profligate spending,” and incompetence, the national debt has exploded. 3) His personnel, meaning Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Kennedy, the last of which she writes: “Scientists from nearly every field of study have called for his head of health and human services to be replaced.”  And she noted the secretary of homeland security may be prosecuted for contempt. 4) His party, noting recent splits with Greene, Mace, GOP senators ignoring the President’s call to end the fillibuster, state legislators rejecting redistricting efforts, not to mention his historical loss on the Epstein files vote. 5) His media surrogates: top MAGA supporters on Youtube and other platforms who tend to alienate center “normies” by “elevating neo-Nazis, excusing pedophilia,” and love conspiracy theories. 6) Most of all, is Trump himself.  I quote at length:

Monday night, Trump flooded Truth Social with more than 160 posts in five hours — an unhinged mix of high and low, from posting his cameo in “Home Alone 2” to demanding disgraced Colorado election official Tina Peters be released from prison.

It was a disturbing look at someone who’s clearly lost control — of his presidency, of his party, of his messaging. Flooding the zone with utter nonsense to distract us all from his obvious failures is seemingly all he has left.(1)

"Disturbing look" indeed! Truly a pathetic picture of any man, but doubly so of POTUS.  She could have written a whole essay on this single element of his decline. The MAGA base have to be beside themselves watching this chaos and self-destruction, not on an occasional basis, but these days almost hourly.

Let’s think together again, soon.
