Read the headlines, or just talk and get a sense of where people are in this world, and it feels like things are reaching the ridiculous point of this second Trump presidency. And I mean by his own standards, since Trump has always been defined by his ridiculousness. That is especially true of both terms of his presidency.
Seriously, everything is falling apart. All of those things that he promised during the 2024 campaign - things like quickly and immediately lowering the price of gas and groceries, cutting energy prices in half within his first year back in office, ending the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, not getting the United States involved in another foreign war, especially in the Middle East, and of course, releasing the Epstein Files, all have proven to be lies. Either that, or he has failed as president.
It feels like both, frankly.
Trump's approval ratings are in the toilet, and I have heard reports that this is riving him mad. The war he started in Iran is going very badly, with Iran appearing more powerful and innovative in their approach to fighting a superpower and standing relatively strong against it. The economy is tanking. People are outraged at Trump's blatant levels of corruption, and how he is trying to put his name up on anything that does not immediately run away, spending enormous sums of money and resources on his vanity projects while the American people continue to struggle. Lately, when he throws fits, it sounds more routine and tired, as is the response. Most people just seem, frankly, tired of him at this point.
By now, it seems like the Mindless MAGA Moron Cult has lost some of it's steam, finally.
Oh, sure, some of them are still loud and proud. Yet, there seems to be a real hesitation to now mention their political leanings. Those people who claim that they don't really want to discuss politics right now are, generally speaking, the ones who votes for all of this nonsense that the rest of us are forced to put up with now.
Yes, it feels like everything is going downhill, and fast, for this Trump presidency.
Who knew that voting in a self-obsessed, narrowminded, loud, arrogant jackass who never showed interest in doing anything but promoting his own narrow interests and trying to manipulate and scam his way to the top would end up not turning out so well, eh?
Finally, the rats appear to be turning on one another. Here, according to a snippet from a recent article by The Week UK (for September 6, 2026), things have really reached a crisis point:
“Now is the twilight of Donald Trump’s supremacy,” said Rafael Behr in The Guardian. The US is “still the richest and most heavily armed nation on Earth”, and the president – indulged by a “supine” Congress – still has far-reaching powers. Nevertheless, with more than two years of his second term still to run, Trump looks “thwarted and impotent”.
Even Americans are beginning to understand that the damage is not temporary. That things are not going to go right back to normal as soon as Trump is gone. Indeed, Trump is still in power, But things have changed, alright. A little more from the same article:
History will record that the disastrous war against Iran was a “turning point”. But evidence of his policy failures can be seen all around the world. Canada, citing unreasonable last-minute demands from US negotiators, has promised all-out trade war. The Ukraine conflict is as bloody as ever, despite Trump’s promise to end it. Europe, horrified by his indulgence of Vladimir Putin and his “deranged demands” for Greenland, has turned away. In the Middle East, America’s allies are furious that they’re bearing the brunt of Iran’s attacks. And at home, fuel prices are rising, and electoral disaster is looming: November’s midterms are set to flip the House of Representatives, and maybe the Senate too, against the Republicans.
Many Americans, frankly, do not fully appreciate the gravitas of the situation, and how long this will haunt them. Again, according to the same article:
In a matter of months, Trump has “burned through decades of accumulated goodwill” across the democratic world, said Daniel Hannan in The Sunday Telegraph. “He has created a sense that it is better to be America’s enemy than its friend, for it buys its enemies and sells its friends.” Never once has Trump spoken about Putin in the way he talks about Canadians, Danes, South Koreans and other partners.
Yeah. Again, it's almost like starting an economic war against the entire rest of the world, all at once, starting an illegal and endless war that is hugely unpopular both domestically and around the world, and insulting our longtime allies in Canada and Europe and South Korea and Mexico and pretty much everywhere else might not be such a good idea.
Who knew?
So because of his own idiocy, Trump is now a "fuming, friendless" loser. And he is reflecting on the entire country, and very poorly, at that. How quickly the rest of the world turned against the United States once Trump came to power.
Yet, Trump is such a dumb (with a b) ass and a bigtime loser that things might grow worse yet. A little more from the article:
Worse may be to come, said The Economist. Many would be delighted if “a fuming, friendless Mr Trump, so weakened by his own blunders and by plunging approval ratings” were to retreat to the White House to “tinker with plans for his ballroom”. Alas, that is not in his character. He’ll be less a “lame duck”, and more an ageing “silverback gorilla” – lashing out ever more viciously at anyone within his reach. “Now that his dominance is threatened, the world will find him more disruptive than ever.”
Great. Because even more unsettling news and chaos is just what we need right now.
Guess we all know who to blame for all of this, right?
Thanks, Obama.
