Trump's Second Term

More likely, that large numbers of people are apathetic. They care more about their own daily lives than the state of the nation and the world, and they're too ignorant to make a connection between the two. They're also like the proverbial frog in the pan of heating water. The water heats gradually, and the frog doesn't notice that it's too hot until it's too late. Add to that the people who know there's a problem but are fatalistic about it and believe they can't make anything change.

These people are as much of a problem as MAGA. It's hard to fight a fire when there's a huge crowd of people who are between you and the fire and think nothing's wrong or nothing can be done.

⁨We’ve all seen the chaos unleashed by Democrats at airports across the country. It’s preposterous that Chuck Schumer continues to hold TSA funding hostage.

Thankfully, ICE will bring sanity to our airports starting tomorrow, but it’s far past time for Democrats to fund DHS.
ICE bring sanity? Yes, the US is ◊◊◊◊◊◊.
 
It is not just that he still has a lot of support, it is the lack of protests at what he is doing, that is concerning. It suggests that Americans in general are turning against their democratic western allies, and they prefer an aggressive, dictatorial leadership.
There are a number of understandable criticisms that can be made. "Lack of protests" does not seem to be one of them.

‘Very historic time’: US protests have jumped since Trump’s first term
Data shows 133% increase from 2017 to 2025 as anti-ICE and No Kings protests push mobilization against White House

The relative lack of coverage for protests that may have fooled you, on the other hand...

'Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul. For 80 long years, we've carried apology and guilt like a permanent shadow...
He turned that raw wound into a shared laugh between equals.
No more endless atonement.

Looks to be a pair of far right idiots talking at each other

I suspect that one of the things that will keep damaging the US long after this administration is gone, is how the media landscape has changed (it might even be as bad as what Worm Brain does to children's health). It's scary to see how more and more power is concentrated in the hands of those who should have none.

Sean Duffy: "I think we have to offer the president grace. We know the president cares about the economy, gas prices for the American people, he's talked about that frequently and often. He also cares about peace. A lot of people don't give him credit for that. He's proud of the conflicts that he resolves."

The last cabal of conspirators against a sitting American President were hanged together on a single gallows. The statement was clear: you act together in treason, you shall die together in ignominy.

@AGPamBondi, you have a current referral regarding RussiaGate.

America waits.

STFU, has been.

Cares about the economy and peace / crashes both. Can he 'resolve the conflict' between what he says and what he does?

<spoiler> Nope.

In other words, give him a break because his incompetence is not just an act.
