Think on the bright side, the capacity of Trump 2.0 to collapse is also accelerated. Look how drastically the USA changed between 1928 (Hoover triumphant) and 1932 (FDR & Democrats bringing the New Deal). The Trumpistas have a long road of messes to cause & be blamed for before 2026 ... or 2028.

Trumpistas, like creationists or other intransigent ideologues, have minds that effortlessly "see" only that which their dogmas need them to see, and deflect all else. That character defect is precisely why such people should NEVER be in positions of authority,

So RFK does exactly what he promised he wouldn't. Predictable of him, but still shameful & pathetic.

The Trumpistas (the old GOP is extinct) allow their wish-fulfillment and recurring ignorance to override even a modicum of sound judgment. The Republic will not be on a sounder footing again until all Trumpistas are voted out.

Even as Trump crashes our economy, what the other nations, especially those who are and post-Trump will remain our allies, do during this critical period is what posterity will judge us all on.

Trump 2.0 is the most shamelessly corrupt administration in history, and ALL Trumpistas in Congress (the party formerly known as GOP) and ALL 77 million Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 share blame for this moral and constitutional travesty

Few people do Whataboutism so ineptly as the ever-pompous Coulter (like Tucker Carlson, she doubts evolution too).

Trump 2.0 is what happens when you staff an administration with FoxTrumpravda pundits.

Clearly a Yale education served him poorly.

Well that's one more way for Trump 2.0 to burn any credibility or moral high ground around the world.

No one matches Trump 2.0 for hypocrisy and arrogance.

These are politics down, no data, no fact checking sorts, the flat earth of our politics. All the ambition of an Aaron Burr with less brains than a piece of dried toast. Sad for those of us who can remember when there were Republicans who were admirable.

As Trump makes up numbers effortlessly, his enablers are only following in his footsteps ... taking us off the cliff with them, alas.
