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...

just add he looks very fat these days and old but he is old!
The excuse in his medical records is that taking aspirin and shaking so many hands explains the bruised hands. Yeah ... .
On that Cat someone put up the ridiculous suggestion that the peace talks were a strategy to exhaust Iran. The degree of rationalisation to continue proclaiming his wonderfulness is remarkable. The most humourous example of that is a recent post by Peter Smith on that Cat which stated Trump was a "little narcissistic".
The opening statement(2 mins) here are telling ...
