Trump did a lot of political damage to himself

with all his nasty talk about Biden's cancer diagnosis.

Yes, he should have just kept his fat mouth shut, but since he can't do that, he might as well pay the political price for it.

This POS has become a folk hero to these people and this sort of stuff empowers him. All the law breaking he does just makes him more and more powerful and popular. This is the danger.

I don’t see anyone or anything threatening his power. I don’t see anyone abandoning him after previously declaring their undying loyalty.

He has just as much power to destroy, upend, and mangle everything that was good about the USA as he did before President Biden’s cancer announcement.

The Trump ship of fools isn’t exactly taking water over the side. Our erstwhile allies haven’t come running back. And his diseased, dysfunctional, greasy heart is still pumping away while good and decent human beings die all around us.

If there’s any damage to Herr Trumpenführer, his handlers are concealing it well.

There’s another OP today saying his “house of cards is collapsing” — but I see no evidence of that yet.

He has done so much damage to himself that it should have stopped any politician a long time ago. And yet here he is.
