* If Trump falls ill (or dies) would Vance make a worse or better President? Undoubtedly he is smarter, but is that a good or bad thing given the policies he allegedly supports?
* Mass deportation, if it really happens to the degree Trump has promised (remember the Mexicans paying for the wall, and how much of the wall actually got built), would undoubtedly cause some backlash in some communities, but how much cruelty are Republican voters really willing to watch when it starts to affect the neighbours who they thought were quite nice people? Or their businesses?
* Who exactly put the mad "tariff everything and raise money that way instead of taxes" idea into Trump's head, and who amongst more sane Republican economists and politicians will now start telling him that he can't go too far without starting inflation that will be a direct result of the policy?
* It seems some are confident that the Republicans will win control of not only the Senate, but the House as well. One upside of that - if they have complete control of government, and effectively the judiciary, Republicans and Trump will have to own everything that goes wrong.
Should I wish for that (as it feels like one side saying "we're not really going to engage in politics for the next few years, just so you can hurt the country and we'll benefit from that"), or should I hope the Democrats maintain House control and (presumably) affect the implementation of some policies?
* Should I punish the New York Times or the Washington Post by unsubscribing for their sanewashing efforts, or is it more important to see that they are viable for their reporting on the presidency they kinda helped create?? (And I have to acknowledge - given my General Theory of Trump in my previous post, how much did the sanewashing actually matter? Clearly, the cultist part of Trump support is not reading the MSM media at all - and the other part can tell, just by watching Trump rallies, that he really is a dumb liar who works more as a circus act than a person with serious and well thought out policies.)

few people remember the chaos that existed in the white house when he was there previously.
He has to implement his mad tariff plans, his spending and tax plan and his plan to introduce intern camps fr so called illegals.
The Fed will need to increase rates and then he will be blaming everyone but himself for the disastrous policies.
I think we wil see a dramatic turnaround in the 2026 midterms!
The key is Musk, Kennedy, Tulsi and that Indian fellow. The elderly Trump will put the four of them out as drivers and flak catchers. The Overton window has been broken and now budgetary rectitude means closing down government departments. They will be closed down or Republican government will collapse as a mathematical certainty.
Kennedy and Howard Lutnick as well
The tariff idea comes from an understanding that you need to be an industrial power and things have deteriorated too quickly. It’s not the best when you need tariffs but that’s just the way it is right now. The US lack of industrial power now shows up in the battlefield with the Ukraine coalition and Israel both defeated.
