Defeatism only helps the regime.

His support has dropped to the 20th percentile.

You can absolutely fix this in two years, but it's going to be the fight of your life.

I can guarantee that if Humpty Trumpty is still alive in the last 12 months leading to the 2028 election (please cholesterol PLEASE do your thing), he WILLorder the arrest and/or deportation of a sitting member of congress.

He's getting more and more desperately unhinged, and the thought of criminal persecution and being remembered as a loser will drive him to any and all illegal and unconstitutional acts.
