For people who only watch Fox News, Trump must be a genius. And I fear that´s unfortunately a lot of them.

These people are lost, and I can`t imagine how to bring them back to normality.

Are there actually no “normal” Republicans left who still have an idea of right and wrong? Things will probably only change when decent people from these ranks show backbone, stand up and resist.

One of my wife’s clients has been advised by their insurer during the current renewal process that the insurance will no longer cover any liability incurred in the course of employee travel to the United States.

How is that for a non-tariff barrier?

I know sport is relatively trivial, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that both the club world cup this summer and next year’s real one are not viable in this environment.

And probably the summer Olympics

These independents, are they the people who think everything is okay as long as they themselves are not negatively affected?

Might be those that took investment hits. They won’t care about anything else.

The only saving grace is that isnt for another 3 years. These concerns will either have calmed down by then as the initial intensity of their deportation/rendition efforts dissipate, or it will be so bad that it will be so self evidently stupid to think of coming here that it wont be the open question, one that makes people feel a bit hysterical for even asking, as it is now.

The US will be in a war when the next election comes around… A big enough war, or numerous number of smaller conflicts, meaning, no election and Trump will continue to hold onto power

I don’t think he has that much longer left, whether by bullet or burger. Not to mention the soupification of his brain. He some how has gotten mentally worse over the last few years. Can you imagine the state he’ll be in 2029.

part of the logic of putting the CWC with the WC hosts was to troubleshoot the main event. That will be interesting.

Behind the scenes Biden was propped for long enough… MAGA might do the same with the Orange Shrek

Oh, I don’t doubt he’s already being lead by the nose in many aspects. The Heritage Foundation is his Nancy Reagan.

Frankly, I don’t find the idea of ​​JD Vance taking over particularly reassuring. I fear he’s even more dangerous and intimidating.

I`ve read this comment today …
“Trump is the flatulence before the follow through”

The difference is Trump never made any sense, nor had much interest in doing the actual job, so from day 1 of his first term has required a team to interpret his incoherent inconsistent ramblings so they could be put into presidential actions. A declining Trump probably makes that easier because he’s likely to contradict them with the speed he has done up until now.
