That is why he sucks in international affairs. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room when he never is, and with no court system to back him up his threats and machinations don't work.

All he has are tariffs and sanctions, and the courts are finally getting around to reminding us that trump can't legally do what he has been doing. Will SCOTUS back that decision? They should, but hard to predict in the current situation.

Domestically, it's a race between voters deciding versus him rigging the system. In a just world, there's no way repubs could win in '26. They should get shellacked looking at polls these days. We'll see.
