"Trump is a foreign" [& domestic] "and strategic policy failure of historic proportions, but he has always had a powerful understanding of what motivates American voters." That is correct and, thereby, is in fact a damning incrimination of ~50% of the American electorate. Is America great or what?

Oh, he's just being Donald! Plus, when he says up is down, he is not saying up is down: only a reactionary fool communist Lamestream Media or Dumocrat would even suggest he said up is down! Anyway, it is not clear what the president meant when he said up is down. He yet he obvs. meant up is up, etc.

But Republicans are anti-patriotic, and are dignity-challenged. So, support for Republicans will remain close to 50%, indicating a very sick US society. We will see clear data on this, yet again, in November 2026. Republicans hate America; they only love a dumb and fascist version of the USA.

Also, more and more reports are confirming what should have been admitted for years. The Trump administration has business deals ready to go with Putin, once they can bully the Ukrainians into surrendering more of their land and people. This is the real Trump/Kushner win-win.
