Trump’s Losing Ground, Even with His Base

“The United States was practically dead at the end of the Biden Administration but in less than a year, I (Donald Trump) have made it the hottest country on Earth.”

H.L. Mencken said that no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. Yet here, we just may have found the limit to that idea.

When his base listened to Trump’s speech the other evening, a large number of them went away shocked and disappointed. Even our country’s least educated and most hateful people are vaguely aware that, one year ago, our nation had a robust economy, and certainly a more cohesive social structure.

Moreover, they’re not thrilled that the president, in his arrogance and narcissism, is putting his name on public buildings and having plaques affixed to walls in the White House that point out the shortcomings of Trump’s predecessors, making it clear that his presidency is at or near the top in U.S. history.

We’re tired of this insanity.  And by “we,” I mean pretty damn close to all of us.
