The Trump administration has reportedly sent $45 billion to the Taliban in Afghanistan, after telling us for years that they were a dangerous terrorist organization that President Biden allowed to take over the country. This move even infuriated Republican lawmakers who called out the administration for this disgusting action. 

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had a mini meltdown during a recent appearance on CNBC while trying to convince the American public that they are overreacting to the dramatic price increases we've seen this year. Lutnick nearly yelled "nothing bad is happening!" at the audience watching back home, showing how desperate this administration is to convince us that reality is not actually reality.

Recently unemployed former Trump lawyer Alina Habba had a meltdown on Friday after another Trump appointee abruptly withdrew her name to become a US Attorney. Habba proclaimed that "this can't keep happening" and accused Democrats in the Senate of undermining the authority of the Executive Branch. But the reality is that Trump is putting up horrible people that have no business being in positions of power, and everyone in Washington is starting to realize that. 

There has not been a single poll in recent months that has given Republicans a reason to celebrate or even be slightly optimistic, and the election results of this year have been even more depressing for the GOP. In spite of this, Republicans have no clear message or strategy as we head into a midterm election year, and pollsters are now warning that Republicans aren't fooling anyone by claiming that things aren't as bad as they seem (which is Trump's message to voters, too.)

Donald Trump had a full blown freakout over his horrible poll numbers late last week, and he decided to attack the voters instead of changing how he behaves. Trump made it seem like voters are simply too stupid to understand that he's doing a fantastic job and (according to him) that they aren't actually paying the higher prices that they are paying. These attacks on the people who are sick of him are certainly NOT going to help his lagging poll numbers.
