SO F*CKING SAD, CRY ME A RIVER: "Trump 'rattled' by developments in the last 10 days" [View all]
This just breaks my fucking heart. Really. Trump's taking a chainsaw to America but he has a big sad over the fact that America's not kissing the ring. I do not know how I shall sleep at night. And the ONLY CONCERN here, in my eyes, is the more "rattled" he gets, the more dangerous he gets, and more likely to make a "desperation move" to save his ass.Trump 'rattled' by developments in the last 10 days: report

“… [a] series of political blows [have] left his allies rattled, his base divided, and his once-durable administration suddenly strained,” said Mesa, explaining that the pain began with different Republican factions clawing one another after a bad off-year election.
“We got our a—— handed to us,” said Trump ally and failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy of the 2025 elections.
Trump “moved quickly to deflect blame,” said Mesa, declaring on his Truth Social site that “TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT,” and he insisted on a Fox News interview the next morning that, “It’s no good if we do a great job and [Republicans] don’t talk about it.”
But exit polls say voters were responding to broader concerns about the state of the country and especially the economy—which they firmly identify as Trump’s economy, Mesa said. Combined with the president’s faltering support among Latinos, voters routed Republicans by unexpected percentages that look bad for the upcoming mid-terms elections if the national mood doesn’t improve.
