2. People starting to call him a lame duck

I'm not as afraid of this administration as I was a few weeks ago.

Watching Mary Trump right now describing him as you have above, unable to pivot or reframe or come up with plan B. All he has is bluster and I think the USSC really floored him. All he can do now is scream into the void. He's so fucked in the head he really thinks everything is completely transactional and the USSC failed to honor him as he felt he was entitled for them to do.

Kudos to the wonderful Neal Katyal.

He's physically deteriorating, psychologically unable to cope with any defeat, major (like this one) or minor.

Getting easier to defeat him. Easier to bait him. He will still do lots of damage but his deterioration is catching up to him.
