Summary

Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.

The "Signalgate" scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.

His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.

Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.

I'm not American but, from what I've seen, Republicans seem to flip sides more than a quarter in a hobos pocket during an earthquake.

Having Republicans turn on eachother is about as shocking as the fact that it will be cold in winter.

Running America like one of his businesses.

This is going to be an even more interesting time in the coming weeks. When animals are cornered, things get very ugly. And we're beyond ugly already with almost half of Project 2025 implemented already.

Maybe everybody is just tired from all the winning?

Fred Trump's dementia is the gift he gave his son Donald and the American people. Seriously outside of a couple people that whole family is a net drain on humanity

Literal Nazis.
