history and approval numbers for the president and other fundamentals already suggested, you know, it was gonna look pretty pretty tough for Republicans.
This isn't what you want to see in in August.
At this point, another distraction, frankly, is probably Donald Trump's best hope.
And since he loves to run that play, I I would say expect him to do something distracting.
That's a win.
This is this is why the silver linings exercise is not always the most um constructive one analytically.
Um look, there is the silver lining here, and I really actually don't love playing this game, but
People are so astonished and amazed, and it is jaw-dropping how focused the President of the United States is, not on the economy, not on the war he unleashed in the Middle East, not not on the sort of profound disruption of the workforce that that AI
already portends, but on his own projects like the guildification of statues in in Washington, I know people were like freaking out about Maggie Haberman saying uh the other day on a podcast that he spent like 70% of his time on these quote legacy projects.
But there is a f the upside, which is every minute that he's screaming at Janine Pirot about not prosecuting an Olympian for
Ripping up the reflecting pool, that is a minute that he is not spending on further screwing up America.
So, you know, hey, if you're a Republican, I don't know if you can turn that into a campaign ad, but um
Absolutely.
I mean, for me actually, I do think one of the enduring images of you know, Maggie and and Jonathan's book, Regime Change, is that image of Donald Trump with a glue gun.
simple spare constitution of ours in which, you know, we have this checks and balances.
And instead there's a crazy would-be king gluing gold shit all over it.
I mean, to me, that is like Donald Trump is the metaphor made manifest, right?
And so I do think that that it's simple.
And he is a simple, in a way, character which has made him very effective.
as a political communicator, except that what he's communicating now is I don't give a shit about you and um, you know, give me some more gold.
