The Bottom Is Falling Out for Trump

sure thing charlie brown, really put your back into this kick ok, the checks and balances will hold the football I swear

I was going to say, it’s more realistic that his actual bottom falls out than his cult losing their faith in him

We got him! We finally got him right where we want him - demented, raping children, and in charge of the most powerful military humanity has ever known!

His average job approval ratings are going to plummet from 41% to 40.8%.

It’s so f****** stupid. Nothing will kill this turd until Father Time steps in.

Epstein, who?

Watching Daredevil premiere last night, and Matt Murdock literally says "if we expose all the crimes that Kingpin has done, he'll have to be held accountable!" And i was like, I know the MCU is fantastical, but not THAT fantastical

A quagmire Middle East conflict is despised by the left and most of the right— including his isolationist base. I could actually see this time being different, especially since he has no other leg to stand on (economy is weak, immigration crackdown has lost its popularity, his alliance with tech overlords is broadly unpopular, etc)

i think it's supposed to be a euphemism for his incontinence

Trumps approval still at 40%, that seems to be the floor. He's not going anywhere.

They'd happily eat their own babies alive, like Kronos, if Trump were but to ask. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Devouring_His_Son

Trump's bottom is like a Russian matrioshka doll: it's infinite bottoms all the way down.

At the end of the day, Trump isn’t in charge. It’s some combination of Putin/Netanyahu/Thiel. Once Trump is no longer useful, he’ll be replaced

That's why the media wants Trump. Clicks for advertising revenue.

You left out the rapture-obsessed evangelicals who want him to kick off Armageddon

I think significantly more likely is that the bottom falls out—more than in the past—for maga-but-not-Trump politicians. Like, what happens if the Dems take the senate and house on protest non-votes? Definitely a possibility—not great, but you’d give it a non-negligible, 10% chance today. Probably about in line with my probability of actually meaningful election interference. That, I think, would grind Trump to halt. More than that? Probably not—but it would point to Trump being an issue, and losing the support of any monies interests trying to get Trump 3. He’s not toast today or tomorrow. But I think his current erratic behavior is going to be a liability for trying to seize more power. You gotta have a few planners to implement a government, and it sure looks like the actual administration—not his backers, but the actual administration—is real short on those sorts of people.

The thing is, previous times it was all about scandal, crimes, and corruption, which people by and large can’t be forced to give a shit about. This, however, is about gas prices and the economy, which even people who don’t care about and don’t pay attention to trifling things like laws *will* care about.
