With President Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress presiding over a gradual stream of disasters from still-soaring inflation, crime, Biden’s questionable colleges and a metastasizing illegal-migrant disaster, they’re past keen to have the nation speaking about . . . Donald Trump.
The ex-prez is blissful to function the Dems’ stooge, so long as it will get him the headlines he craves. The most recent was his rant at Senate GOP chief Mitch McConnell on Friday for letting the Dems move a stopgap federal-funding invoice to keep away from shutting down the federal government.
Letting Democrats proceed to spend “trillions” means Mitch has a “DEATH WISH,” the Donald posted menacingly to his supporters, following up with merciless and childish insults to McConnell’s spouse.
Sure, the republic’s funds are a horrific mess, one worsened by the $4 trillion in new spending handed beneath Biden. And in some situations shuttering the federal government would possibly be the GOP’s finest transfer, although historical past reveals that it often backfires big-time and McConnell’s unquestionably a greater choose of ways than the Colonel Kurtz of Mar-a-Lago.
Extra necessary, most of that spending wouldn’t have handed if Trump’s late-2020 “stolen election” lunacy hadn’t given Democrats management of the US Senate by miserable GOP turnout within the Georgia runoffs.
The most effective probability to alter course now's this 12 months’s midterms, which might give Republicans management of the Home and Senate — although Trump’s made that far more durable by pushing doubtful candidates within the GOP primaries (after which failing to open his $100 million-plus marketing campaign warchest to assist them within the normal).
Democrats, by the way in which, are so happy with Trump’s involvement that they spent a minimum of $53 million selling his candidates within the primaries. And he’s little question secretly happy in any respect the free publicity they concurrently give him by ranting, from Biden on down, concerning the supposed “MAGA Republican” risk to democracy.
After a summertime bump within the polls, Dem fortunes this fall had been beginning to look worse final week within the wake of recent dangerous information on inflation because the migrant disaster began hitting northern cities.
We’ve mentioned it earlier than, greater than as soon as: Democrats’ finest hope within the runup to Nov. 8 is that Trump will hold stepping in to make himself the focal point, on topics which are inevitably all about him — not the nation’s many wants.
Does he not know the Dems see him as successfully their stooge, or does he simply not care?
