Trump is in free-fall. His approval for handling the Iran War and our economy is even worse!

In Week 75, Trump losses more allies, and the U.S. increasingly stand alone. One volatile man, whose mental health is clearly in question, is now making decisions with a shrinking circle of trusted aides, that impact the entire world. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

Trump now has zero allies left in the EU: ““May the ministry of the Holy Father help promote the resolution of conflicts and the restoration of peace—both within nations and among them,” Meloni said in a statement that came hours after Trump lashed out at Leo for his criticism of the war.”

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

Trump has no plan: a week of escalation then capitulation, and more drama in the regime, and the US slipping globally. All in one week! Catch up on all you missed. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

This week was the longest list of broken norms so far in the second regime. Not only was Trump literally alone in D.C., but figuratively the U.S. was increasingly isolated by his actions. Catch up on all you missed. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

One man is in charge. And surrounded by many inexperienced and incompetent loyalists, and others who are afraid to doubt him or tell him he is wrong. A recipe for disaster abroad and at home. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

Wow! Votes are still being counted for margin, but Democrats flipped a seat in the New Hampshire State House, in an area that Trump had won in 2020 and 2024. See you in midterms!

Snuck into Peggy Noonan's WSJ op-ed: "There's Reaons to Worry About the Iran War" on Hegseth She also adds: "If I were in Congress, would I vote right now to support the administration’s action in Iran? I think not, due to the severity of some of the possible repercussions outlined above."

NEW: TRUMP FIRES NOEM. Not for her cruelty and incompetence mind you. She said he had approved her $200 million self promo budget. That, he didn’t like. Great timing too in the middle of a war.

“In a striking rebuke, the House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s handling of its case against Jeffrey Epstein and its release of its files. The vote, 24 to 19 with five Republicans joining all Democrats.”

Week 69 is the longest list so far. With the storylines that were developing, almost all bad for Trump, it was easy to see why he might want to divert attention elsewhere. Catch up on all the stories you need to know about! open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...

This matters because appropriations bills require a 75-percent supermajority vote from both chambers in Arkansas. The balance of power just shifted from 80-19 to 79-20. 👏👏
