Trumpism Isn’t Working
As a checked-out president sits back and lets Elon Musk shred the civil service, the signs of economic calamity are growing—and Americans of all stripes are getting pissed off.
Trumpism is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed.
Exactly. trump was intended to destroy America from within. It is working perfectly in that regard.
Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.

Its working as intended for russia and china
I have been wondering what kind of dirt Russia/China have on these guys for them to behave so profoundly un-American.
The simplest explanation is that they both have significant business interests in Russia and China and that archived video of their weird dicks are in Vladimir Putin’s classic film collection next to his Wild Wild West laserdisc, which he meticulously alphabetizes.
It's working perfectly, it just runs counter to American interests. None of this is happening by accident.
Exactly which realistic expectations about trump are unmet?
For those of us who have bern paying attention this is very much what we said would happen.
Lol. What Kamala may have done vs what trump said he would do, and what his previous term indicated hr definitely would've done. The us chose unwisely. This timeline sucks.
That conspiracy that Trump was recruited by the Soviets as an agent in the 1980s is sounding less and less of a conspiracy every day.
Because it isn’t a conspiracy theory. It isn’t even that complicated. He’s an extreme narcissist (born with a gold spoon up his ass). They make him feel good, and he’ll do anything to keep getting the ego stroke.
They loan him money, bail him out, stroke his ego, and he’ll happily burn the country to the ground. And when it is said and done, he’ll be incapable of understanding his part in it.
Isn't his plan to upset the current world order? What's not working exactly?
I know nations have been banding together to figure out how to operate without the support of the US, but that alone seems to me like it's working.
It's supposed to be upsetting the current world order for his own benefit. It's not going to work out that way, because he's knocking out the system that supports him.
It's not fair to call this trumpism. Give credit where it's due - this is putinism.
The thing I find fascinating is that normally fascism is a self-destructive attempt to increase a nation's power whereas here the goal is to weaken and break the power of the US.
As everyone is pointing out, it's achieving that goal.
Would be worried if it is working
Who knew turning America into North Korea wouldn't cause it to flourish?
No way.
