Epstein, Musk, Putin, Rising Inflation, Ongoing Tariff Fiasco - The World Just Isn't Bending The Knee To Trump

Morning all. I wake today having those two thoughts in my head at the same time that we often talk about here 1) Trump and his corrupt enablers at the Supreme Court keep breaking things that will be difficult if not impossible to repair and we must continue to act with great urgency 2) The “Trump as revered strongman” project is struggling way more than they anticipated, and the American people, leaders around the world and reality itself are just not bending the knee as he - delusionally, pathetically, illiberally - expected.

So there is a weakness, a struggle, a nagging sense that this thing ain’t working at the core of Trumpism right now that we need to continue to exploit.

I spend a lot of time trying to game out what happens with Trumpism through the end of this year. And it is hard to see where it goes. The public has rejected his immigration escalation, and as I wrote to you yesterday it is on its face a ridiculous and unsustainable project. Despite his bluster the economy isn’t roaring as they imagined, and the public is really unhappy with rising prices and his betrayal of his core campaign promise to make things better. His reckless gutting of the US government helped create the tragedy in Texas last week. No one bought whatever the f—k the Iran bombing was. He has not brought peace to Gaza, the Middle East, Ukraine. His trade policy - 90 deals in 90 days - is already one of the great policy fiascos in American history. In what has become an enormous problem for Trump Elon keeps attacking and undermining him in ways that is being seen and felt in MAGA world. They keep losing in the lower courts, daily, consequentially. The big, ugly bill is historically unpopular, is already doing material harm to the country and Republicans are already trying to find ways to undo parts of it to lessen the political fallout.

And then came Epstein, and Trump now looks and sounds unsteady, weak and just incredibly full of shit; and it risks bringing back what is without question the ugliest part of Trump - his decades of abuse of women, his infidelities, his sex with porn stars, his grabbing them by the …….All of it.
