More and more Americans simply aren't listening to the snake oil pitch. Oh, there's still plenty of people on the hill that are willing to help pass slush fund stimulus for their buddies, and pack the court with as many ideologues as they can between now and Nov. But none of them (outside of perhaps Bill Barr) were the least bit taken in by his, ever changing, defense on the Ukraine .. and there's no one buying his BS on Covid "revisionism."

I suspect there are many in the U.S. (both government and private sector) that now regard him much as Putin does. A blundering fool, prone to stumbling around and starting fires .. occasionally useful (as in when you're trying to sell insurance) .. but never to be regarded with any more importance than a mildly entertaining joke.
