Inflation at 3.8%, We’re Losing in Iraq, Tariffs are Not Working. What will be the most obvious result before November?

Clearly the administration is in a major tailspin. I can’t say that I’m upset by this. There is a lot of “I told you so”. Still, the moves Trump made in appointing capable people to influential positions has paid dividends for the right. Most appaling is the recent actions by the Supreme Court in terms of voting rights. This is the price you pay when you don’t act strategically--one would hope the Democrats would learn them.

Anyway...inflation is out of control, the war is being lost in Iran (if it’s not already too late), and our President is obsessed with cosmetic changes to DC for some bizarre reason.

Going forward, what do you think will be the changes (if any) Trump makes between now and the midterm elections?

I have no idea what moves Trump will make, if any. Perhaps he feels the redistricting that has already taken place will handle the midterm elections matter.

Still rooting for America's enemies I see.


We ARE NOT losing the war.
