“ ‘He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.’ Apparently originating with Napoleon Bonaparte, Trump here is brashly embracing the idea of personalistic rule.” - The Dispatch

NewWhy did Trump have to post…

Wed, 02/19/25

Why did Trump have to post this? He takes some of the good he is doing and then he spoils it. The reason you hear crickets on the right is that no one can defend it. The problem i have is why does "right" equal total devotion to Trump. Can't you agree with some things, while denouncing others?

My prediction is that either one of the Houses or both the Houses switch to the Democrats in the mid-term elections and it will slow Trump down. Inflation is starting creep up, and given some of his new policies it will most likely continue. And he is in the process of taking a couple hundred thousand voters and putting them out of a job. His approval rating on the economy has sank to 39%. Definitely some seats will flip.
