Trump is doing significant damage in the meantime. I am cheered by your description of the unlikely coalition. Was stunned last night to hear on Washington Week that Mitt Romney may not have supported Kamala Harris due to possible threats to his personal safety. I wonder if other people have been influenced the same way. Note how Trump removed personal security from Dr. Fauci and others.
If you think that the obese one will not run again in 2028, you are indeed living in a fool's paradise!
Look around you, the GQP is a cult led by a malevolent convicted criminal without a conscience, remorse, or any ethics at all.
His lackeys in Congress are already paving the road to dictatorship by introducing bills to allow Trump to run for the office of President without any restrictions at all. The bungling, ass-kissing House Representative for my district, one Andy Ogles, is busy licking Trump's boots and backside, doing everything he can to perpetuate Trump's lock on the Presidency.
Trump will remain President until he is forcibly removed from the White House! Anyone who thinks that he will voluntarily leave is sadly mistaken.
You are correct! The Orange one has beaten all the odds to get where he is today, but we must remember, he didn't do it by himself. He had foreign interference by the Russian, and probably the Chinese as well as they ran interference for him and constantly introduced distraction during both the 2016 and the 2024 campaigns.
Also the Democratic Party continues to shoot itself in the foot by not aggressively confronting Trump and his lies. They remind me of the old Confederate society maxims where they thought that they would conduct a gentleman's conduct of war with all the niceties and plantation decorum, and they lost the war for many reasons, but the chief one was that a general by the name of Sherman declared that 'war is Hell', and he proceeded to burn and loot everything his army encountered, and he spared very few of the Confederate plantations and industrial sites so that the people themselves faced starvation, and thus their will to support the war disappeared.
This is what we must do to the MAGA crowd. Trump himself will singlehandedly destroy our economy, and when it begins, we must hammer him mercilessly, reminding the electorate what Trump promised and what he has delivered or failed to deliver. We must be as strident and ubiquitous as Fox News, Newmax, and all the other fascist propaganda networks in driving home our vision for the future and contrast it with the 2025 master plan.
I personally will be surprised if we are allowed to vote in 2026. Trump is the master of only one thing; constantly generating chaos, and no one yet has figured out a way to defeat him at that. He will either get us into another war by illegally using the military to seize the Panama Canal, Greenland, or God forbid invading either Canada or Mexico.
I know these things are being derided as Trump being Trump by the media and his supporters, but we have to consider as real and probable everything that pours out of his mouth, no matter how insane they may be because Trump himself is insane. He has blustered, bullied, bought, and used an endless supplies of dolts, chumps, and grifters to do his dirty work for them without paying them anything. They all want to get on the gravy train, but instead they wind up underneath the bus. It truly amazes me that anyone could not see the pattern of what happens to people who decide to interact with Trump. The old maxim ETTD, Everything Trump Touches Dies, is a good thing to remember because as of this date, it has.
After your essay went into cyberspace, t's executive order to cancel the 14th Amendment's right to citizenship for a child born to non-citizens in this country was rejected with a damning comment by a judge (with 40 + years on the bench, and appointed by a conservative president). I just read today's Letter from an American by Heather Cox Richardson, in which she recounts the democratic, egalitarian progress of our country since World War II. She points a clear comparison from the fascistic ideas of the German Fuhrer then to those of the 47th president and of the nativists who elected him. As an American general said to the German general who offered terms of surrender during the Battle of the Bulge, "Nuts."
51 is still young! I think the points you raise are valid and your view is more probable. However, I could make a heck of a case that Trumpism will not end with him. Trump has already had so many flashes that the pan has fallen off the stove and has burned some of the kitchen.
I appreciate the hopefulness of this article until I realize that you’re implying that we just have to wait it out. To Mr. Meyers: This is ugly but I don’t think you can call it a flash in the pan. By the way, your verification codes don’t last more than a matter of seconds. I persisted till it shut me down for too many login attempts. Really frustrating. Felt like you didn't really want to hear from me. Disappointed, I unsubscribed but I’m not sure that “took” either. We’ll just have to wait and see.
It sure is nice to see some positive thinking . I’m usually a cup half empty guy but since Rump was elected, I’m a “cup was always empty” kind of guy. You should never underestimate how dangerous a cornered wolf can be. Even if we win the mid terms in a landslide, gaining back any power from these criminals may be a sad but necessary bloody victory
Gives us a lot of hope that this will be just an ugly flash in the pan.

Most people mellow with age but Trump is an exception.

What makes you think we’ll have elections in 2026 or 2028?
