Once again, sadly, Trump is playing checkers while his many enemies are playing chess.
The alleged scope of his victory really does not matter. His popular mandate is of no value if he loses control of Congress. And he's in the process of doing just that.
He doesn't have a majority in the House, and he may NEVER achieve one. Even if he does, it will be slim. How hard do you think it will be for his enemies to get a few House RINOs to betray him on each and every important vote?
His margin of victory in the Senate also may not matter if the many RINOs in that chamber decide to resist his agenda. And they're in the process of doing just that ... holding a secret vote today to elect a majority leader who could be the head Judas in that chamber this time around.
And what is Trump doing while they scheme behind his back? Making ridiculous cabinet appointments and meeting with his CHIEF enemy - "Joe Biden". The only thing that will accomplish is to prevent Trump from focusing on what IS important today. Trump MUST delay or cancel that meeting and instead convene an urgent meeting with all Senate Republicans. Like, RIGHT NOW !!!
And PLEASE stop with the provocative appointments. Elon and Vivek make some sense, but without the House and Senate behind them, they're not going to get much done. And in case you haven't noticed, if today's Senate vote doesn't go your way, you probably can kiss all those recess appointments goodbye.
Just one week after the election and things already are circling the drain. Well, at least you're apparently going to give the Israelis everything THEY want.
Will you cave to the Russophobes, too?
Geez Louise !!!
Update - 11/14/2024
Trump failed to take my advice, and the new Senate majority leader is less than ideal ... and possibly a serious roadblock to the Trump agenda. Good luck with those recess appointments and/or getting people like Matt Gaetz approved.
At least we (probably) got Tulsi into an important slot, but this may be offset by taking Rubio out of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence by making him Secretary of State. We'll see, but both appointments may turn out to be tactical errors.
