The Trump Party is Facing a Conundrum

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I am in a good mood today. The men and women on the right side of the aisle who call themselves “Republicans,” have a serious problem, a conundrum. If they continue to support Trump’s destructive and unconstitutional policies, they will lose the one thing most important to them: winning elections.  

With his approval rating in the 20’s, Trump has become an albatross. He announced yesterday that he would be campaigning for members of his party who are in close contests in November. But they don’t want him. Trump is the most hated public figure in modern history. He’s worked hard to earn that label.

FAILED POLICIES, AND VERY BAD CHOICES

Trump has been following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, since January 20, 2025. Fascism is not popular among real Americans, and his economic policy is causing enormous harm to the working class, whose quality of life is in steep decline.

It is highly likely that his illegal and immoral war against Iran was the fatal blow to a steep decline in favorability. His failure to keep three critical campaign promises began his demise.

“I will end inflation on day one.” “I will end the war in Ukraine on day one.” “There will never be another war on foreign land when I’m president.”

Choosing Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense, Robert Kennedy Jr. as his Secretary of Health and Human Services, and J.D. Vance as his Vice-President were three of the worst choices he has ever made. Not one member of his cabinet, or closest advisers, is qualified for the positions they were given.

Yes, Donny Boy, you are judged by the company you keep.

HOW A REPUBLICAN-LED ADMINISTRATION BECAME THE LEAST EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT IN OUR NATION’S 250-YEAR HISTORY

Since 2017, Republican politicians spent most of their time protecting Trump from his many, many crimes. Not a single piece of legislation designed to improve the lives of all 340 million people has been passed.

Trump’s Fascist Party continues to ignore the needs and wishes of the majority. Each day, a number of Trump’s most loyal supporters are defecting as their lives and the lives of their families face new challenges.

As a former presidential advisor once said: “It’s the economy, stupid."
