adding to what I just wrote: the Epstein Files saga dampened a lot of the good will the voting public had for Trump.
Redirecting the focus of the tariffs and constantly changing them, backtracking on deportations, going for the showy but controversial onsy-twosy deportations instead of policies of mass deportations, backtracking over and over again on Ukraine and Russia, bombing Iran, etc., etc. Most of the crap that shows Trump is again a puppet is what did it, not Caroline Leavitt or Bobby Kennedy.
Oh, cozying up to the Big Tech tracking and control agenda on Day Two, big giveaways to Silicon Valley’s AI and crypto agenda, DOGE turning out to mostly be a cover for advancing the tech control agenda, etc., etc., were also factors in there too. The prancing with billionaires from dinners with Bill Gates to dealmaking shows in the Middle East, Kushner getting his Gaza resort deal, funding and ignoring the ethnic cleansing for that, etc., etc., are all in there too. Big deals with the Big Pharma killers, diversions away from the deadly jabs, nothing to repeal the PREP Act or other legislation that made it legal to lock down and force jabs, etc., etc.
