Trump Is a Weak and Failing President. Treat Him that Way.
The New Republic has a great article describing all the ways the Trump is failing. His failure is both defined and illustrated by those who defy him.
Trump puts tariffs on China. China hits back with tariffs. Trump backs down.
Trump goes after Harvard University, threatening important grants and other funding. Harvard says “not so fast, Bucko” and goes to court.
Trump creates havoc in the stock market and The Wall Street Journal dunks on him.
The New Republic article, which is actually “ a lightly edited transcript of the April 24 episode of the Daily Blast podcast”, makes it clear that each time Trump retreats it illustrates his weakness. Each time we see his weakness it emboldens other organizations, institutions and countries to resist, which leads to greater appearance of weakness, leading to more defiance and on and on.
It’s all very encouraging and a strong reminder that our resistance matters. Our defiance matters. Write, Call, Rally, rinse and repeat.
