EXCERPT… Trump’s second term was always whether he would bully the country into an effective monarchy, or fall prey to the laws of political gravity.
I’m taking a pundit risk by saying that we now have that answer, after one month in office: Trump’s cooked.
His failure has followed the usual direction of political overreach. Brave dissidents from the political opposition, corporate America, or his own coalition didn’t suddenly rise to the challenge. It started from the bottom up, as the governed gradually but definitively withdrew their consent, giving space for those we somehow call “leaders” to distance themselves.
This feels like bush standing on the aircraft carrier with the mission accomplished banner.
The pressure is not enough yet. We can’t stop. We need larger push back, more folks awakened to his actions beyond the fox news spin.
One month in is like 1 out in the first inning of this 9 inning, 4 year long presidency.
