And so even if his core base remains steadfast, the clear and present danger for the Trump administration is that he no longer has a solid coalition of the type that brought him victory.

Yes, that's true.

He certainly absorbed this.

I think that his testiness has been on full display.

What the hell do you think I'm doing?

The posture is not one of, voters, I hear you, I feel your pain.

Far from it.

Instead, he has been dismissive of the word affordability.

But I think most of all, Natalie, what has annoyed Trump is that his voters had been generally trusting of everything that Trump said he was doing or was about to do during his first 100 days.

But the anxieties that his constituents are feeling is now impossible to hide.

And I think that that has created a real defensiveness with Trump.

So will this tour that Trump is embarking on help mend the schisms in the Republican Party and restore him as the one and only voice in the conservative movement?

Possibly.

But I do think that what we've seen take place is

is an emergence of voices who dare to hold the president accountable to his America First pledge.

And as various people joust over just what that pledge should be, the fractures that ensue are really going to be impossible to heal.

It's hard to imagine what would happen to bring all those pieces back together.

Sure thing, Natalie.
