Yep — and, Paul rightly takes note of it, this eveninig:
But unsurprisingly, Mirengoff believes this is… all fixable. It. Is. Not. My experienced assessment is that the core problem is Trump’s incurably delusional narcissistic tendencies.
Every good thing: he did it — and, every bad thing: he doesn’t know that guy. That has caused the fractures. With MTG and Musk, previously. He cannot help himself. So he cannot right his own ship — ever:
…Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, whom some of Trump’s advisers invited to the White House to brief Trump on the discontents of the base [said]:
“…Sir, you got shot at the Butler rally,” Mitchell said, invoking the “really strong optics” of Trump raising his fist in defiance after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania in July 2024.
“You said, ‘Fight, fight, fight.’ But nobody ever clarified what that means,” Mitchell continued. “And right now, you’re fight-fight-fighting Marjorie Taylor Greene and not actually fight-fight-fighting for Americans.”
The base might (or might not) feel that way, but it’s false to say that Trump has been unclear about what he’s fighting for and to say he’s not fighting that fight….
As noted earlier [Paul says], although a president can’t fix the economy in a year, he can do it harm that quickly…. Donald Trump is accomplishing it with his inflationary tariffs (although the extent of their inflationary impact is in dispute)….
Hilarious. Along with the Susie Wiles debacle — of a long-form set of 11 interviews, in Vanity Fair, the mid-terms are going to be a blue tsunami, folks. Yep, Hinderaker is just butt-sore, because Wiles decided to tell the WHOLE of the unadulterated truth — about Trumpie.
I say… bring it on — she’s angling to be a talking head on the nightly pundit programs of a blue-ish persuasion, me thinks. Because she well-knows (just check the look on her face — in that “for publication” photo!)… Tangerine’s time is nearly at an end.
Out.
