The right leaning media wonders who will inherit Trump's blessing for 2028, Vance or Rubio? I believe that before then, it will be a cursing, not a blessing. Having a Trump sign on your pickup was one thing, costing $70 to fill the gas tank is another.
Trump has been promoting both of them, in a wholesale competitive fashion. Although I no longer practice neurology, it seems as if Trump has less and less filters, as they say.
White House commentary about the war with Iran has been regrettable. Videos equating blowing up buildings with people inside as home runs are disgusting world opinion of United States. While Hegseth can only go back to Fox News after the term, if Vance or Rubio continue in public service, they will have to separate themselves from the current embarrassment of the Trump administration.
While Trump declares that He is MAGA, I propose that Trump filled a void that was building in 1994, 2010 and continues, it was a movement that saw what has happened to the U.S., decimation of the economic base and continuous intervention in foreign wars.
ReplyDeleteHe has filled that void until he no longer did, which was the war in Iran.
I suspect that there will be a period of disgust and lack of direction in the base, a victory for those in the bureaucratic state. The U.S. will soon lose it ability to chart its future, it will be overtaken by economic realties and global political developments.
Ray@6:02: I think that future historians will be perplexed how Trump was far worse in his second term than his first, with all the problems being created by himself, vs. outside situations beyond his control. I believe the answer lies with his advisors and cabinet. Although Trump went through numerous people in the first term, they were all knowledgeable and qualified. Neither of those adjectives apply to anybody on board now.
ReplyDeleteRubio - 2028 - the saner choice
ReplyDeleteAt least it won't be $140 as it was under Obamas Biden administration.
ReplyDeleteHow many comments did MOLOVINSKY on Allentown censor out today?
ReplyDeleteWhat a you afraid of Mike?
anon@1:52: I'm afraid of anonymous repetitious boring comments.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile back in Realville, a shooting at a synagogue in Michigan, and a shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the democrats should start thinking about ending their shutdowns of DHS, TSA and the Coast Guard before someone gets hurt.
Oh, wait. Too late.
anon@2:30: None of those agencies would have prevented the shooting at the synagogue. In my personal opinion, speaking only for myself, I feel excesses by Netanyahu have fueled latent anti-semitic acts.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you already know where the shooters in both incidents came from, how they came to the US, how they got their weapons/explosives, if they were given a go order from a foreign country, etc., but I don’t.
ReplyDeleteI do know that the country would be safer with those agencies funded.
I also don’t believe that Netanyahu’s “excesses” changes anything about the synagogue attack. Those willing to attack a place of worship and a school/daycare are ticking time-bombs waiting for a moment to “justify” (in their minds) such actions.
We can’t always know what every person or group is thinking and where the next attack will come from. Again, I view that as another reason why it would be best for the democrats to stop holding our national security hostage.
