His lies, bullshit, and incompetence have finally caught up with him. He is making mistakes, many of them illegal. For example, the way he micro-managed the Comey indictment. He fired the US Attorney whom he had just recently promoted to the job and put his own personal attorney, a former beauty pageant contestant, in his place. Two days later she gets a grand jury to indict the former FBI Director.
Also, his denouncement of Comey, before any trial, that Comey was "guilty as hell" was a major error in judgement. He is making mistakes that he might not have made in his first term?
He is the world's most incompetent micro-manager. In his first term, he had a few people that actually protected him from his irrational decisions. That is no longer the case. There is no one now to tell him no. Everyone around him is a loyalist.
He is blatantly corrupt in front of the whole world and no one is telling him he is wrong. He is stuffing his pockets with every gold coin he can get his greedy fingers on. It is an embarrassment to the nation but Republicans do not recognize embarrassment in their leader. So long as he can get away with it, he must be brilliant?
But he is in away above his head. He was never very bright, to be honest. His arrogance and demeanor have turned the entire world against the United States. What few friends he has made are only there for their own personal aggrandizement, such as the Saudis. They are not true friends.
Now, the walls are closing in on him. His ability of persuasion has collided with reality. For example, he sold his idea of tariffs to the Republican Party and we are just beginning to see the impact of this disastrous decision. The farmers have lost faith in him. His corporate friends and billionaire "buddies" have protected him thus far by eating most of the costs of his tariffs. But that is about to end.
He talks about ending the wars because he wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, he incites violence almost in every speech. He has no self control. His health is deteriorating, as is his mind and thought processes.
He is sinking into disgrace and he has nothing to cling to in order to save himself. He has no redeeming qualities. His dishonesty and cruelty cannot be hidden. It has become a weight too heavy for him to carry. He is not up to the job of the presidency.
Just my opinion.

(90,406 posts)Trump has the intellect of a gnat but his street smarts are excellent. He is probably the most successful criminal in modern history
The most important thing about Trump is he doesn't care about the job - zero concern about duty or country. Everything is about personal power

(7,221 posts)He is so bothered that he announced that the teleprompter guy is in trouble, while making his speech before the UN.
Nothing gets by trump, that is anything that can be considered a slight, even if it was harmless and unintentional.

(24,772 posts)He has coasted through 2025 on the fumes of the excellent economy and stable nation Biden left him.
All of that is being propped up by bailing wire right now. It doesn't feel like it would take much to cause a complete system collapse. The odds of race riots, food lines, mass poverty, and domestic unrest feel certain (It's already happening).
Then there is the international front, where he has no allies, and as the US economy crashes (lowest dollar in 50 years), the desire to deal with Trump at all will fade.
