Opinion | Trump’s Worst Enemy? Himself.

This proper now is perhaps the high-water mark at this level of Trump’s stature with the general public. I don’t see it going up in any significant sense. I believe it’s going to proceed to go down as a result of there’s mismanagement of the federal authorities, there’s the fabric stuff. After which there’s the very fact, as you level out, Michelle, that at any time when any sort of scandal comes up, they appear to make themselves look red-handed. Taking Lauren Boebert into the State of affairs Room and making an attempt to place the screws on her simply doesn’t simply make you look responsible. It makes it appear to be you’ve gotten printed a e-book titled ‘If I Did It,’ proper. It places you into late interval O.J. territory. So I don’t actually perceive how issues are ever going to get higher for them. I believe that that’s proper. I imply, I’ll say, clearly, there are occasions that may happen. Right here’s a wild card. One of many issues that might really find yourself serving to Trump fairly a bit is that if the Supreme Court docket strikes down his tariffs, as a result of proper now a Trump coverage is a big drag on the economic system. So I believe if the Supreme Court docket reverses the tariffs, you may really see a burst of financial exercise and optimism that will be despite Trump, not due to Trump, however that he as a result of presidents at all times profit from a optimistic financial improvement. So I might see that there are occasions sooner or later that I might think about serving to Trump. Occasions. What I can’t see serving to Trump is Trump. Who I can’t see serving to Trump is MAGA.
