9. I'd say the midterms will tell us everything we need to know about the road to 2028

Whatever Trump could do to "fix" the economy he wrecked won't happen, because he's too busy yelling at voters for not appreciating him enough.

Tens of millions of Americans are about to get screwed on healthcare, so we'll see how many voters believe Trump when he blames Biden.

Until voters make a DIRECT CORRELATION between THEIR PAIN and Trump / Republicans as the CAUSE OF IT, nothing's going to change.

And part of the problem...100% intentional on Trump's part...is that he's simply worn much of America out.

The whole "ballroom" fiasco, the Kennedy Center, the "Donald J Trump Institute of Peace"...

...if he's still breathing, he could EASILY continue at this pace for the next three years.

And the only problem for the people expecting new leadership to undo all of it is that he's doing these things incrementally.

NO ONE is going to "undo" four years of reckless spending overnight.

No idea how the "reversals" would be prioritized. After all, the "time out" that Trump and MAGAt Moses Mikey have taken from actually running the government will need to be addressed first.
