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.

    His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered?

    What plans? He’s not even tried to do either one in even a meaningless, symbolic way.

      His plans were to reward the aggressors and try to grab a piece of the carcass from the other vultures.

      I’m so fucking tired of the incessant sane-washing. Just constant gaslighting from all sides to make me feel crazy for freaking out about this shit. I’m sick of it

      For real, what a braindead (at best) thing to say. His attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestine and build resorts on the coast, and his attempts to steal mineral wealth from Ukraine while under brutal attack by Russia, those attempts have faltered? Yeah, thankfully they have, I’m sure he’s still trying though.

      I’m so tired of all the “reasonable language” used for this administration. It just amounts to flat out lying to avoid upsetting the very worst fucking people. Again - at best - that’s me being charitable, there are even worse motivations than that of course.

      His plan was to pressure them the way he’s used to pressuring people in his business dealings. The only problem is that countries like Ukraine aren’t just businesses that he can stiff, drag to court, etc.
