Sie können es jetzt riechen: Die Trump-Präsidentschaft befindet sich im völligen freien Fall: Eine treue Armee von Anhängern, ein riesiges Desinformationsnetzwerk und eine Gruppe seelenverkaufender Feiglinge können Fakten für lange Zeit verdrängen. Doch irgendwann holt die Realität sie ein.

The walls are closing in.
Snippets:
>No—the opposition arose not in Washington, but in Chicago and Minneapolis, and in the thousands of No Kings Day marches that brought eight million Americans out into the streets. And as Trump is not a normal American politician, this is not a normal political opposition. These millions of Americans aren’t merely against his policies, although they surely are that. They’re against his hatred and lawlessness and corruption, and the moral rot he’s spreading over this country like blight over trees.
>And second, we may finally be reaching the point where even Trump’s blind supporters and his vast propaganda network can’t defeat the facts on the ground. They’re almost relentlessly grim.
>I never understood, in 2024, how all these people convinced themselves that Trump could lower the price of a gallon of gas and a pound of ground chuck. He has raised the price of gas through his war on Iran. The price of beef is at an all-time high, and while that’s not really his fault—it’s mainly because cattle inventories are at a 75-year low due to drought and other factors—the increase makes the crucial point that there are many price inputs over which a president has no control.
>I also never understood why anyone believed that he wouldn’t start dumb wars if the circumstances, in his mind, warranted doing so. The one fundamental fact about Donald Trump is, as my late friend and great Trump chronicler Wayne Barrett famously put it, he’ll say whatever he needs to say to wriggle through the next 10 minutes. He said what he said about wars to get elected. Period. Anyone who believed otherwise was, frankly, an idiot. And so now here we are, with Trump mocking Allah and likely this week to commit acts defined as war crimes under the Geneva Convention.
Character is destiny . . . .
Seen four of these per month every month for the last year.
Can we stop acting like the formula that brought us Trump has somehow failed Republicans or the oligarchs that implemented it? They have held an overwhelming amount of power from 2016 to today. It was successful for them and will be replicated in the near future.
Trump is in way over his head now. He thought Iran would be an easy operation like Venezuela. He didn’t listen to adivisers when they told him Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz because, of course, he knows more than the generals. Trump’s usual tactic of bullying and threats is just not working here. Trump promised to lower costs for Americans and avoid foreign wars and so he has done just the opposite.
The boy who cried wolf. It gets old very quickly.
He isn’t Diaper Don without reason.
The rest of the world will remember. All of this was predictable and preventable. While the end may be soon, the consequences will be felt for decades.
I remember when Kellyanne Conway said during Trump 1.0 that they have “alternative facts” and thought…this is the battle.
Dude was in over his head with COVID. He completely bungled it. People have very short memories.
Its not about IF it happens. Its about how much damage will be done intil it does. It frightens me
Trump’s presidency can freefall indefinitely. It’s been doing so since not long into the first term. The usual laws of political gravity do not apply.
“ You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.“
Finally! The walls are closing in on Trump. The end is near, the thing he did recently is surely the end of his presidency. I’m so glad someone had the courage to write such a daring and original article.
I keep seeing this headline but spending two seconds in maga land shows you it isn’t true. He might be losing the moderates who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a woman but they’re not losing their base. At worst you get, “I don’t like what he’s doing now but the rest is great so it’s worth it”.
Their main concern, is simply to bring pain to liberals and you really can’t argue with trump’s effectiveness in that field.
Problem is the Republicans and MAGA will never accept reality.
To bad we are all falling with them
Finally. But it could be too late…
Nothings going to happen to him. This only ends when he eventually dies from old age.
After the assassination attempt, an acquaintance of mine ( who had a MAGA country flag on his house) was in my ear about how badass Trump is and how he wanted to “debate” me. I ignored it and moved on. He’s been sending me anti-Trump reels on Instagram and some even with progressive themes. I’m not holding my breath for a drastic long term change as he will probably rebrand as a “libertarian”, but it’s a big change. He was guzzling the doge koolaid. He’s at least anti-Trump and his cabinet now. Definitely anti-Iran war and definitely anti-Epstein coverup.
He’s. Not. Going. Anywhere. He will shut himself in the oval office for the rest of his miserable life, no matter how little support he has
Blah blah blah gop, republicans blah oil whatever.
America isn’t the way it is because he was elected, he was elected because of the way America is. If that isn’t in plain sight then I don’t know what is. Sure there has been resistance but the fact that this is where you’re at after the Jan 6 “incident “ says all you need to know about it.
It is tough to imagine what 3 more years of this will be like. The weekly market manipulations, weekend war crime threats, quarterly govt shutdowns, protests, ICE violence, etc.
It doesn’t seem sustainable.
I’m so tired of articles like this. Reality hasn’t caught up until he’s in prison.
People will lie and lie and lie but there’s a tipping point where they’ll say “Yeah this isn’t worth it. Who is next?” That’s when it all falls apart and this MAGA experiment will collapse.
I wish that I got a dollar whenever a Trump’s finally going to fall post popped up. ….. it’s past time. Way past.
