Trump seems to be doing the same thing he did in office.
surrounding himself with the wrong people. I suspect someone is giving him very bad advice.
he needs to cut and run on the Vax too.
Somebody may be giving him bad advice, but he needs to think for himself if he has any principles.
As you say, almost all of his choices in office were lousy. And he was also way too lenient on Democrats and actually attacked Republicans more severely, including some very good ones, if he felt they were rivals.
I agree on the vax and all of the covid nonsense…people would never have accepted shutdowns and the other stuff if they hadn’t trusted Trump (who of course was following Fauci, another horrifyingly bad choice). But he’s never clearly reversed himself or opposed or even admitted any responsibility for all of the devastation that resulted. He could be an enormous force for sanity if he’d just stand up and say he was wrong (or powerless, or whatever) and now it’s time to get back to normal, including getting back our freedoms worldwide.
But he’s not going to, and the fact that he would be 78 or so when he runs again certainly won’t help.
I think it’s time for somebody else for 2024. For once, we have a few good younger candidates out there, so it won’t be as dismal as usual on the GOP slate. I hope.
