The title is from an article in the Guardian. The Guardian is free, but they do ask for donations. I give to them, but not as much as I wish; not being rich, I do have some drawbacks.
You can find the Guardian on my website, along with other publications I read daily. I don’t include any paid sources such as the New York Times, Washington Post, the Houston Chronicle, or the LA Times. I do have a lot of opinions, but I try to base them on articles and use logic to form them.
Article on Trump follows, it is long, so just a short sample of what to find:
It was a wake-up call for America. In January, Donald Trump took the oath of office, declared himself “saved by God to make America great again” and issued a barrage of executive orders. In the ensuing months the US president and his allies moved at breakneck speed and seemed indomitable.
But as 2025 draws to a close with Trump struggling to stay awake at meetings, the prevailing image is of a driver asleep at the wheel. Opinion polls suggest that Americans are turning against him. Republicans are heading for the exit ahead of congressional contests next November that look bleak for the president’s party.
“He came into office and, like a blitzkrieg, was violating laws and the constitution,” said Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “The American political process is slow-moving and so he was able to do things that were extraordinary.
“But this is a guy whose legacy may well be the political collapse of Republicans in this era. Put another way, rather than asking who is going to be the inheritor of the Trump mantle and the so-called Maga movement, we may be talking in a year or so about which candidates can escape the odious distinction of having been connected with Trump.”
There is always light at the end of the tunnel. A year has passed already, with the hoax at the wheel.
