And in part, it's happening because Donald Trump is a one-term president.
It's a unique thing in our history.
There's only been one other example of non-consecutive
terms for a second term president, it essentially means Donald Trump was a lame duck from the day he was elected to this second term.
Now, he's made a lot of moves to make that less true.
He had a great, particularly around foreign policy, he had a great first year of his second term, which you might not always see from a second term president.
But you can tell that the buzzards are circling.
People understand that a lot of a politician's power is in their ability to win the next election.
Donald Trump doesn't have constitutionally the power to win the next election.
And everybody wants now to define what's going to happen next in the conservative movement.
And there's an opportunity for people to make a lot of money, an opportunity for people to seize a lot of power, an opportunity to advance new visions for what the future of conservatism in America and globally can be.
And then there's structural issues around social media and how we're incentivized as creators of content within that framework.
I think those two things and the sort of inherent problems in both are creating this really confluent moment where we see almost open civil war, and in some cases, very open civil war,
on the right as people are both trying to make money, build their own brands, and compete for actual true political power in a post-Trump world, which is rapidly approaching.
We'll have our midterms this year, and then you will immediately be in the next presidential cycle.
I mean, starting in 2027, we'll be trying to figure out who the next president of the United States is going to be.
And because we know it can't be Donald Trump, the question is, what direction is the country going to go?
Well, you can't ensure that your choices are always going to be the right ones.
And you probably have to accept in life that some of your choices will be the wrong ones, both because you're reacting to incentives, because at times you have limited information, and because at times all sin falls short of the glory of God.
We certainly made our share of mistakes at The Daily Wire during my tenure.
