When Trump won the election I was pretty confident the democrats would sweep the mid-terms because of Trump's agenda.
I am very confident that prediction will come true.
Take tariffs. His plan is much worse than I or anyone else thought. Moreover it will take a lot of administration because of differential tariffs and exemptions here and there. He has no idea of the effect of levying such high tariffs on china will do. They are both inputs to business and consumer goods for small business to sell.
He has no idea of how long it is for a company to invest and the process involved. for example to build a factory in the USA on the basis of tariffs would take 3-4 years but what happens if the democrats regain the house ( and the senate?) and take back their ability to change tariffs
Latinos are not liking what they are seeing. They assumed trump would only go after bad criminals who are undocumented immigrants. They were wrong and they do not like it.
Trump's attack on Universities will hurt the US reputation in science because when you withdraw money from Harvard in Heart disease for example it cannot be made up anywhere else. This reduces employment at Universities all across the USA. Universities will also have trouble recruiting staff from overseas given how some staff have been treated. They will also have trouble attracting the best and the brightest to study given the behaviour of the administration.
We should also never forget how incompetent most of the administration is. Signalgate is a perfect example of this. The Justice department has become an embarrassment as it loses highly skilled staff. They wanted to stop a case because of a quid pro quo another bozo who was defending a person then became prosecutor and wanted the case to stop.
They deliberately do illegal things knowing the law takes a long time to get into gear.
Possibly the worst thing is there are only yes men or women. There is no-one around to tell Trump when he is wrong as he is a loot of the time.
He is selling out Ukraine and allowed investors to lack confidence in both US bonds and the currency.
If you think it is bad now and it going to get worse! Which is why I am very confident of a blue wave in the mid-terms.
Okay I missed Musk and his doge rubbish. all that happened here is they neither discovered waste nor fraud and then lied badly about it. It was the Trump administration personified.
