Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

TALARICO: “The richest 1% now owns more wealth than the entire middle class. 3 dudes (Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos) now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined… they aren’t just buying yachts and jets anymore. They’re now buying power.” 🇺🇸 (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )

This is all so impossibly, stupefyingly ridiculous. A species that has organized into societies and built a civilization that generated cathedrals and symphonies and hospitals and calculus and Shakespeare is crescendoing with millions of idiots putting the worst-ever human in control of it all.

🔥 WATCH: “Trump lies and lies. None of what he said is true. For 25 years Trump has lied about 9/11 to put himself in the story and make himself the hero.” Best-selling author @jeffpearlman recounts Trump’s sick, narcissistic lies about 9/11 and other tragedies.

He is such a ridiculous loser. History will remember him as such. His golden chotchkies will be thrown away. His renamed lakes will be changed back. His name and likeness will be stripped from public buildings. His arch will be bulldozed. He will be remembered as a criminal and an idiot.

The Trump Presidential Library should be a museum cataloguing his egregiously corrupt conduct, the sycophantic response from his party’s elected leaders, the systemic weakness in our institutions and laws that permitted it, and it should celebrate the program of reform that will respond to it.
