Listen, there's no getting around the fact that Donald Trump is not a great president, especially the second time around.
But as I read, almost daily, that Trump is everything from a Fascist Overlord to the Anti-Christ, everyone gives Donald Trump way too much credit for being some sort of evil genius.
What is happening in America is that we are living The Celebrity Apprentice, for better or for worse, in real time.

Trump defeats an overmatched, and unpopular, Kamala Harris in the elections.

Trump backed off his commitment to ICE in Minneapolis after the deaths of 2 American Citizens at the hands of officers.
Episode XVII: I-RAN? No, THEY-RAN (March 2026)
The Iran War was "won" in a matter of weeks.
Just this morning: Trump may bomb Iran some more... "just for fun."
You notice more World Events than American Events?
That's why Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ilk are so upset.
Every crisis seems to be episodic, met at full speed, then forgotten in a few weeks.
You're arguing that I shouldn't be so glib, these are matters of life and death, real life isn't a TV Show.
That's my point.
