Summary
Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.
The “Signalgate” scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.
His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.
Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.
Who knew that hiring people based on how much they suck up to you would mean that everyone on your team (including yourself) is incompetent?
He also seemingly selected some of them by watching what they did on the TeeVee. I guess he thought that’s pretty much how HE got there, since he had that stupid game show, so…

I mean, it’s worked for him in the private sector. Didn’t scale up.
But it didn’t even work for him in the private sector. See his lack of casinos.
