Is the season of discontent just starting for MAGA?

Featured Replies

The real question is, is the season of discontent just starting for big Don? It would appear so Republicans are finally finding the spine to stand up to him, they pushed back on that IRS $1.8 billion scam that he was trying to run ,and now they're pushing back on the stupid and endless war, in addition to some other recent setbacks and some losers that he supported in recent elections. And his recent decision to appoint Bill Pulte to an important position he has absolutely no experience with reminds one of his ill-fated decision to appoint Little Petie.

On other matters of national security, several Republicans pushed back on Mr. Trump’s decision to appoint Bill Pulte to serve as the acting director of national intelligence. In his role as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Mr. Pulte publicized the personal mortgage information of several prominent Trump critics, and pushed for federal investigations into them.

Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina said in a CNBC interview on Wednesday morning that he did not believe Mr. Pulte “has a prayer” of being confirmed by the Senate. (Mr. Tillis announced that he would not run for re-election last year, after coming under threat from Mr. Trump for opposing the sweeping tax bill the president crowed about in Japan.)

He said that Mr. Trump’s decision to appoint Mr. Pulte had jeopardized congressional efforts to extend a high-profile warrantless surveillance law, which is scheduled for debate later this month: “I am tired of amateur hour,” Mr. Tillis said of the Trump administration. “I feel like there are people advising the president as if there is no election in November.”

Outside of the White House bubble, others warn that Mr. Trump’s primary-season strength, predicated on mobilizing voters from the deepest-red depths of his base, may already be evaporating.

Representative Randy Feenstra of Iowa, who received a late endorsement from Mr. Trump, lost his primary race to his challenger, Zach Lahn, a conservative political operative and farmer.

Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist, saw Mr. Feenstra’s loss as a sign that the administration’s policies have hit agricultural communities, particularly the rounds of tariffs and rising oil prices from the U.S. war in Iran. Mr. Murphy said that those policies, compounded with Mr. Trump’s unpopularity, have weakened Republicans more than the White House has admitted.

“He’s a gorilla in the Republican primaries, but he is a wounded sparrow among the general electorate,” he said of Mr. Trump. He said this has resulted in Republican senators trying to move away from Mr. Trump’s more politically toxic efforts.

“The realpolitik of this is: ‘Get me some distance from Trump,’” he added.
