It was a wake-up call for America. In January, Donald Trump took the oath of office, declared himself “saved by God to make America great again” and issued a barrage of executive orders. In the ensuing months the US president and his allies moved at breakneck speed and seemed indomitable.
But as 2025 draws to a close with Trump struggling to stay awake at meetings, the prevailing image is of a driver asleep at the wheel. Opinion polls suggest that Americans are turning against him. Republicans are heading for the exit ahead of congressional contests next November that look bleak for the president’s party.
“He came into office and, like a blitzkrieg, was violating laws and the constitution,” said Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. “The American political process is slow-moving and so he was able to do things that were extraordinary.
“But this is a guy whose legacy may well be the political collapse of Republicans in this era. Put another way, rather than asking who is going to be the inheritor of the Trump mantle and the so-called Maga movement, we may be talking in a year or so about which candidates can escape the odious distinction of having been connected with Trump.”
Lmaooo im just skim reading this and second highest in recorded history. Bro gtfoh. is that by voter participation or due to the fact the country’s population and eligible voter base was the highest it’s been in recorded history? Im not gonna read the rest of the shit because I literally credit the non-voters for winning the election. I just pointed fun at the 1.5% of the country that voted 3rd party on some fringe issues that you made up in your imagination. Now go ahead and type more disingenuous bullshit aint no one gonna read. Voter participation vs turn out lol. tough to differentiate these concepts I know.
