Sooner or later the bubble will get pierced and he is going to lash out and blame the people around him.
A real leader does not want unearned praise.
A real leader wants the truth so he can fix problems.
Course-correction?
The GOP is exactly on course for everything it wants. There is no other course to correct to. It is all going to plan.
The GOP WANTS THIS!
Opposite occurs.
Contraction.
No investments.
No growth.
No investments on my part.
No reinvested funds.

All is upon GOP.
Donald Trump cause and effect.
Tariffs halt
Consumers Shut down.
Consumers afraid to spend do not invest and they do not buy.
Consumers afraid of Nazi leadership stop buying hate.
