Trump’s presidency is crumbling before our eyes, or so the headlines keep suggesting, and honestly, I’m starting to tune them out. It’s not that I don’t want it to be true, far from it. It’s just that I’ve heard this refrain for years now, a constant drumbeat of imminent collapse that never quite materializes. I’ve seen the stories, the analyses, the predictions of doom, but somehow, here we are. The grift is still strong, the policies are still being implemented, and the man himself remains a powerful figure.
The reality on the ground feels far more complex and, frankly, much more disturbing.… Continue reading
