A Quack In Trump’s Presidency

Description:

It’s been a strange 12 months for Trump. He won the 2024 election on a wave of economic discontent, and responded by blowing up a wing of the White House, decimating foreign aid, and attempting to deport undocumented immigrants and political dissidents alike, before deciding that what his second term really needed was military adventurism in South America. But since last summer, his poll numbers have declined and Democrats have been notching electoral victories in states like Florida, New York, Georgia and Arizona. Some Republicans in Congress are hitting the exits. And others are starting to talk about life after Trump. But is his power and influence really declining? To find out, we spoke to Jamelle Bouie. He’s a New York Times opinion columnist who writes about politics and American history.

And in headlines, the Trump administration plans to freeze $10 billion in child care and social services funding fo five blue states, the President sets his sights on Greenland, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem tells Venezuelans in the US “Everything’s fixed! You can go home now!” It… isn’t.
