We are all better off when Trump and Musk can work together on fixing government failures. This will hurt this administration if those two can't work together at all.
That's true. Trump usually works well with others. Musk can be a bit of a problem when there are other strong personalities around, apparently.
Who has Trump ever worked well with? Seriously? Who has he ever had a relationship that ended well? Great ideas, good starts, but EVERY endeavor ends in ruin. Usually with him claiming to be a victim.
USFL, Atlantic City, Trump "You Name It", etc...
The only place he had any success was reality TV where his job WAS to create drama.
Look at his last Cabinet. Look at his last Presidential stint, ended up with Congress being stormed. Please tell me who he has worked well with and not alienated?
Fair comments.
But Harris remains the more destructive choice.
We can only hope Trump settles down and compromises where necessary.
True, sadly he was the better choice than Harris, Biden and Clinton. I voted for him. He seems to be going down a very destructive path, more so even for him
Yeah his administration certainly appears to be floundering lately.
But in fairness its due to the courts....the Dem delay game is working still again.
Well, he is using provisions that are iffy in interpretations to supersede Congress. He has declared 8 National Emergencies. He is using Emergency Powers to do whatever he wants. That is going to end up in Court.
You may be concerned over the economy, but National Emergency? We have 4% unemployment and the largest GDP in the world.
The one I agree on is the border. He did a good job there.
Agree again...Trump certainly is pushing his EO's into strange territories.
But with such narrow majorities in congress Trump has little choice.
True. He will win some and lose some. But, I think that is the point. Establish the Emergency Powers more clearly. He is basically making them say NO.
The elephant in the room everyone is ignoring, is the GOP Congress. They throw out statements about fixing the problems, from the border to entitlements to trade to the debt, but when they get the chance they never do.
Look at Lindsay Graham, for example. Such a cheerleader but never actually works to get anything passed.
Trump is using the tools he has, and mixed with a fluid public mood and Trump's habit of saying literally whatever is in his mind at the moment, and you get where we are
Some great ideas, some novel tactics, some absolutely evil political tricks by judges, and some poor follow through.
And we're just starting this term.
