How could anyone (except a Trump cultist) not be (negatively) impressed with the spectacular number of things that are going badly for him at the moment. Here's a list of things that come to mind easily:
* he can't find an off ramp to a war he got talked into. (Even his right wing supporters in the military are probably sick of bobbing around in the ocean doing nothing much.)
* has decided to make his country's 250th anniversary into a lame political rally because he can't get any actually popular concert artist to perform for him. The optics are going to so bad. (And I reminded of the dud military parade he held because he's jealous that Putin and Xi have them.)
* has trashed the White House grounds in the most indulgent, this-is-how-empire's-end, kind of way, with a ballroom no one asked for, and a UFC fight night that even Joe Rogan is cringing about!
* has been forced to remove his name from a building, because, you know, a court told him he's not actually a king and has to live with laws that Congress makes.
* he pushed one spectacularly corrupt idea so far that even Republicans found it impossible to support.
* he's thrashing about with tariffs again in a way in which he has, essentially, zero international support.
* he looks terrible, with puffy eyes, fatter than ever, continually bruised hand - virtually everyone thinks he must be being treated for something that is being kept hidden.
* he got next to nothing out of the visit to China.
* even he has recognised how badly the ICE raids were going and making him look, and dialled them back.
More would come to mind if I had more time...
