Trump gave what was billed as a “Christmas speech” in rural Pennsylvania this past week that began with his “wishing each and everyone one of you a very merry Christmas, happy New Year, all of that stuff” and boasting that now, under his presidency: “Everybody’s saying ‘merry Christmas’ again.” He then claimed – contrary to the experience of nearly everyone in the crowd – that he had gotten them “lower prices” and “bigger paychecks”.
He was supposed to talk about affordability, but Trump’s narcissistic brain seemed incapable of the minimal empathy to recognize the public’s angst over the cost of living. So he veered far off the affordability script to attack Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota congresswoman, ridicule windmills. Small wonder that most voters have had it with Trump.
In Indiana this past week, Republican senators rejected a redistricting plan that Trump had tried to bully them into accepting. Twenty-one senators from the Republican majority in the Indiana senate and all 10 senate Democrats voted it down. Even congressional Republicans are starting to desert him as they see that the wannabe emperor has no clothes. They’ve rejected his demand to end the filibuster, rebuked his incipient healthcare plan, forced him to cave on the Epstein files, won’t approve his bonkers $2,000 tariff checks for Americans, fret about his boat strikes off the coasts of Central and South America, and are in open rebellion against his hand-picked speaker of the House. Trump won’t steal Christmas, but it’s looking increasingly likely that Christmas will steal Trump.
