Donald Trump is losing. He's losing nationally in the polls. He's losing in battleground states. He's losing in the streets. Every day when he wakes up and turns on the news, he is losing. He can't escape it. He is a loser.
He is losing his precious Supreme Court. Twice in one week, the court ruled against him on matters near and dear to his heart.
He is losing to John Bolton, the former national security adviser and a man he called a "dope," whose book, "The Room Where It Happened," to be published next week, has already made headlines and sent Trump into paroxysms of anger and despair.
Several former high-ranking military officers, including former Defense Secretary James Mattis and retired Navy Adm. Michael Mullen, wrote articles critical of Trump's proposed use of American soldiers against protesting American citizens.
He is losing to his generals.
He is losing to the protesters. Demonstrations in Washington caused Trump to erect a 10-foot-high fence around the White House, two miles of it by some accounts. Trump disappeared into a bunker in the basement
He is losing to Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C. In addition to painting "Black Lives Matter" in gigantic yellow letters on the street in sight of the White House, she demanded that National Guard and active duty troops be removed from her city, and Trump was forced by his own generals to comply. Muriel Bowser is in charge in Washington, not Trump.
He is losing to Colin Kaepernick. The commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, made a video admitting that the NFL made a mistake when it sought to bar players from "taking a knee" in protest against police brutality. At least two NFL coaches and one team owner have shown interest in signing Kaepernick
He is losing to Aunt Jemima. On Wednesday, Quaker Oats announced that it will completely change the name and brand due to its racist stereotypes. Three other brands that used racist stereotypes quickly followed suit: Uncle Ben's rice, Mrs. Butterworth's syrup, and Cream of Wheat hot cereal.
He is losing to himself. Trump has become an American Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian president overthrown in that nation's 2014 revolution.
He is losing to the very forces he unleashed to win the White House. By actively promoting racism again and again, he shined a light on the ugliness that has always been there, and now that people see it clearly, they are recoiling from him.
It's wonderful to see. It's profound. It's Shakespearean.

Did Donald Trump get tired of winning? Because he can't stop losing
