Only Events Can Save Trump Now
July 21, 2020 at 7:52 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 11 Comments


Ross Douthat: “There is no strategy that this president could adopt, no policy choice that he could make, no tweet of himself in a mask that he could issue, that would fundamentally alter his political position. Trump is incapable of normal presidential action, and even if his aides and handlers concocted such a strategy, the man in charge would make sure it would fail.”

“But that doesn’t make his defeat inevitable. It only means that to speculate about a Trump comeback is to necessarily speculate about possibilities that are outside the president’s control.”

... court call Trumps actions illegal next year after he takes office.

The holes in the constitution are gaping and need to be fixed and one of them is getting court rulings to the house of representatives.

2. Seems like one of his goals is to frighten suburban women

Into thinking their families are being threatened by vicious rabble rousers. Instead of being frightened the moms are pissed and showing up in droves to join the protests and sing lullabies to the dump gestapo. And dads are forming leaf blower squads. I’m sure that if dumps brown shirts are deployed in other cities that moms and dads there will do the same. I know if they show up in Cbus I’ll be joining in. He’s not getting the optics he wants from this debacle. I’m thinking that maybe someone in his twisted circle will tell him this is having the opposite effect of what he desires and it will be shut down. His goon squad being humiliated by suburban parents across the country isn’t the look he’s going for imo.
