But that sort of manic / depressive cycling has forever been… the bi-polar guy that is John Hinderaker [and Steve Hayward].

He’s in manic mode, tonight — preposterously believing that the fact that Kamala Harris was forced into running a 103 day campaign… means that the world has fundamentally fallen in love with “Whatever the Hell” Trump now claims he is.

John forgets how — from 2017-2021 — the world learned… that Tangerine actually does NONE of the things he promises, during his campaigns. And he was nearly the least popular ex-preznit the day he left office, in the last 175 years — because of that. As one paper put it, in January of 2021: “Last Trump Job Approval 34%; Average Is Record-Low 41%” [Nine years later, he still only has a “concept of a plan“, for improving health care. Damn. What a… putz.]

By 2026 (if not before) — his popularity will be in the very low 30% range, because he is a pure charlatan. [BTW, where are those promised IRS Forms 1040, from him — now over a decade, later?! And how exactly did Mexico pay to build even one mile of his stupid wall?]

Let’s just quickly run down some of what he’s (preposterously) promised to accomplish, by March of 2025, to that end:

(i) Gas at under $2/gallon

(i) 50% decrease in car insurance rates

(iii) Sub 3% interest rates

(iv) Substantially cheaper rents, nationwide

(v) End all taxes on tips

(vi) End all taxes on Social Security

(vii) End all taxes on overtime wages

(viii) End Ukraine War by end of January ’25 [Question: does he plan to just “gift” Ukraine — to Vlad?!]

(ix) End Gaza / Israel War by end of February ’25

(x) Substantially decrease federal income taxes for all families earning under $200,000 a year (about 85% of all Americans) by March ’25

(xi) Cut federal budget — with Elon — by $2 trillion — before Summer 2025…

(xii) And… one he never said aloud, at a rally — but one he’s (certainly) promised Elon Musk and Sheldon Adelman’s widow: cut taxes in half for all billionaires in the USA.

Of course, except for (xii), he will do none of these things. He won’t even “build a wall” this time. He may deport more brown people — by 2027 or so… but his approvals will (again!) plummet — when everyone sees that only billionaires got their tax breaks.

So yeh, Johnnie, you and chubby Stevie go ahead — and slobber all over those charts you’re making.

They are tomorrow’s bird-cage liners.

Out.
