Oh no, who could have predicted this besides anyone who was paying attention?
FTA:
The Trump administration is working tirelessly to undo the accomplishments of President Joe Biden—including the ex-president’s pardons.
“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Donald Trump posted on Truth Social within the first hour of Monday.
(Hope I’m doing this right, I don’t post much news and I forget the conventions.)
Trump is an infant that requires everything done for him.
That’s the attitude that lost Democrats 2016, 2020, and 2024. (They only managed to win in 2020 because of covid.)
People consistently underestimated Trump. It’s the same thing that caused people to underestimate Bush. Both sound like morons when they talk, so people thought they were harmless morons. And then look what happened.
Just because someone is evil, does not mean they are stupid. Trump managed to read the electorate and determine how to appeal to voters better than hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Democratic consultants. He has far better political instincts than anyone currently leading the Democratic party.
Do not underestimate your opponent. That is what got us into this mess in the first place. People kept telling themselves, “there’s no way this blubbering idiot could possibly win.” And then he did.
You are giving Trump too much personal credit. It’s not him that is making headway. It’s being done for him by others in the background. Now you have context for my previous comments.
