It is not going to change the outlook of all the people who are struggling economically. They are still weary of the results of the Iraq war. An interesting aspect is the fact that the administration has removed protected status for Venezuelan immigrants. I don't know that it is a slam dunk that they will get a conviction.
Trump is very susceptible to delusions because of his narcissism. This is another one of them.
