It isn't just Independents, I believe a critical number of Republicans are beginning to break from him as well.

thinks he can get away with tariffs even though they are a de facto tax and are raising inflation which is exactly the issue that supposedly sunk Dem ticket in 2024.

They are certainly slimeballs but not completely politically stupid.
