Infighting. Bad polls. Party divisions. Midterm fears. It’s all back.
President Donald Trump’s administration has been embroiled in scandal and sloppiness. His own party has defied his political pressure. His senior staff has been beset by infighting. He has sparred with reporters and offered over-the-top praise to an authoritarian with a dire human-rights record. A signature hard-line immigration policy has polled poorly. And Republicans have begun to brace themselves for a disastrous midterm election.
That was 2017. But it’s also 2025.
Ten months into the president’s second term, Trump 2.0 is for the first time starting to resemble the chaotic original.

!Mas mierda! Caramba!
the walls are closing in ... again ...
Mostly trolls from the left.
“....embroiled in scandal and sloppiness.”
Does the article go on to specify?
“You can see yourself voting democrat? “
No, not at all; but not absolutist because there can be exceptional factors such as abortion, gun control, free markets, energy, etc. As mentioned Massie and Fetterman could be possible in certain contexts.
I was incorrect in saying there are three possible letters after the name. There are of course more than three..
I know there are more than 3 but I got your point.
“”””””not at all; but not absolutist””””””
It seems you are wanting people to keep an open mind about voting for democrats and other parties against the president’s party and are already open to it yourself.
Something I learned watching Reagan was that it takes a party to move things, the democrats kept the South voting left for decades by convincing them to vote for the individual rather than for the party, the candidates would sound conservative and Southern while campaigning at home, but when in Washington D.C. they would be a part of the machine advancing the Democrat party’s agenda forward.
