When Project 2025 became toxically unpopular and threatened Trump's election, he (and the entire institutional right) straight up lied about it. And it worked. Now, as his signature legislation faces similar backlash, he's doing the same thing. Elite desensitization to his breezy lying is deadly.

I still think people are missing the problem here. Trump has undoubtedly been told that his One Big Beautiful Bombing was a failure. So what does he do now? Allow Iran to build a quickie nuclear bomb outside the non-proliferation treaty? Let it win? I don't think so. This story is far from over.
