Donald Trump is in his second term overseeing high gas prices and well above target inflation, a foreign war nobody likes, and was elected despite his deep unpopularity to begin with.

The entire last decade has been an exercise in creating a different set of standards for One Special Boy. Trump can never fail, people can only disagree about his performance. It isn't that he doesn't understand anything, he has unorthodox economic stances. It's delusions framed as evenhandedness.
