The silver lining is—hopefully!— that hammering the federal government with a wrecking ball will make Trump and his allies so unpopular that the 2026 mid-term elections will return control of both the Senate and the House to the party of sanity-in-government.

My worry is that Trump will appoint such a flood of dangerous and incompetent people that the Senate Republicans will give in to exhaustion and let Trump have his way—perhaps not with the very worst candidates, but with enough to profoundly degrade the federal government.

It is inconceivable to me that the Senate will abdicate its responsibility to "advise and consent" on nominations. That would make Congress, intended by the Founders to be a co-equal branch of government, subservient to a deranged, incompetent, and highly destructive president.
