The Trump Administration seems to be flailing. I know, Republicans say it is the best ever, Democrats say it is the worst. I think neither is correct, because it is proving to be largely ineffective. Immigration, slow and expensive. Tariff paying for everything, not happening. Inflation is up. And Trade Deficits are being completely mischaracterized. The only thing DOGE is doing is blowing things up, which is slowing things down. In short: 47 is failing, and it doesn't look like much is going to change.
