Trump was elected roughly on 3 issues - economy, immigration and culture war.

So he has to deliver at least on two to have meaningful legacy. Because of the idiocy around tariffs - the economy at the midterms will be at best slightly above where he got it. So it leaves immigration and culture war. The border crossings are way down - so halfway there, but deporting meaningful numbers will be hard. Which means that he must deliver on the third issue big. So probably he will continue to bash the soft targets and the institutions that are perceived to be left leaning.



No :) The 3 issues are

1. Racism

2. Racism

3. Racism


I find steelmanning to be more intellectually fulfilling than strawmanning.

You're right, xenophobia and transphobia is more accurate than racism. See every Trump campaign commercial in the last few months of the race.

If you are right - then it seems that racism is quite broadly popular among all ethnic groups in USA because Trump made inroads with everyone.


Yeah, cause he lied to them, and they believed it. Now that his actions are speaking and not his bloviating, his support is eroding. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5271036-trump-ap...
