Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall (newrepublic.com)

Consider three of the biggest developments in our politics right now: We just learned that the economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, a capstone to a terrible year in terms of job creation. President Trump has fired widely despised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, a key architect of his mass deportations. And reports are indicating that the killing of scores of Iranian schoolchildren might have been the handiwork of the United States.

What links all these things? In addition to the massive human toll they’re inflicting, they suggest that Trump is about to pull off a unique trifecta. He is squandering the advantage he and Republicans have enjoyed in recent years on three major GOP-friendly issues: The economy, immigration, and national security.

Can it really be in a free fall when it's been at rock bottom?

Oh, of course it can. Everyday is a new low.

His presidency is declining every day when a few hundred Maggot cultists have those leopards snack on their faces. One or two of those regrets their vote but would still vote for him again.

How do you know that when literally every single interview with a magat who has had their face eaten and gone bankrupt has said "I would vote for home again"?

It's not at rock bottom until the US collapses as a country and Trump gains the dubious honor of being the last president of the United States.
