Trump Is a Weak and Failing President, and It’s Time to Say So

President Donald Trump understands better than anyone who is alive about his supporters and a large number of swing voters. perception His strong, winning everywhere, he always moves bravely and uses absolute mastery over his enemies who have lost their direction forever. Last month, after a anemic July job report, Trump hot The management of job data is decisively crushing the story from someone about the weakness of the Trump economy in a magical way.

But the new job report on Friday to create Only 22,000 work was created in August, much less than 73,000 created In July. A downward revision of the previous month shows that 13,000 jobs disappeared in June. Surprisingly, expelling the Bureau of Statistics of the Bureau of Statistics could not hide the influence of Trump’s own policies: as economists remarkableIt shows that most sign tariffs are an important reason for slowing.

All this implies that the Democrats have a new opening to weaken the basis of Trump’s political power by depicting it as a politically weak, unsuccessful, reduced, naked emperor figure, and some new internal polls carried out by the Senate Democrats.

Polling – Senate Majority was forwarded for PAC and New republic– Voters’ attitudes towards Trump, tariffs and economy. Probably 56 percent of the 2026 midterm voters say that Trump’s tariffs generally harm the economy and 44 percent hurt too much. Only 32 percent say they help. Among the swing voters – it is defined as voters varying in both directions from 2020 to 2024 – 57 percent of them said they suffered.

Moreover, in the survey, 48 percent of 2026 voters in general are 8 percent of the 8 percent, saying that Trump’s tariffs damage their own economic states, only 29 percent have no effect and help their economic expectations of tariffs.

Critically, the poll conducted by the democratic company Blue Rose Research, who examined more than 10,000 people through the web panel, tried to measure how all these were echoed by Trump’s perceptions of power. He tested two posts and found this:

Which of the following statements do you accept more? President Trump’s tariffs make me think it is …

A strong leader receives difficult fights for America: 39 percent

A reckless leader who makes life more expensive for ordinary Americans: 51 percent

In the tariffs, the majority of the possible 2026 voters sees Trump as a “powerful önemli leader. And among the swing voters, this is powerful 50 to 32, strong.

This is striking, because it was initially reasonable to be afraid that its tariffs would encode as a power action. to protectBecause they apparently involve the use of government power to protect American workers from foreign competition. Voters may have arranged the details, and they may only have seen Trump as a decisive movement to defend the Global economic forces in a way that their predecessors cannot make. For this reason, some democrats hesitated to directly receiving tariffs.

In fact, of course, tariffs are import taxes that are intensely transferred to consumers who spend a lot of income on imported goods affected by these taxes (employees and middle classes). They also threaten export industries (due to retaliation) and US manufacturers importing secondary production goods employing a lot of American workers.

Now that’s what we see in business data. As Mike Konczal of the Economic Security Project states, the evidence in the Labor Report is consistent with the idea that tariffs are an economic drag. “The most affected industries have dramatic slowdowns, Kon Konczal said. “Tariffs cannot increase jobs, and uncertainty almost certainly kills new ones.”

Among these new voting and terrible number of jobs, democrats no longer fear any Trump commodity on the subject. Supreme Court to create Most of the tariffs will be illegal (even though this is going to the High Court), that is, they are legally unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, many other surveys support these findings. Pew– Fox– GolfAnd Quinnipiac They approved the processing of the foreign trade in Trump’s tariffs and/or 30s. An aligned interviewer With Republicans Lately induced These majority believe that tariffs worse inflation.

However, what is remarkable about this democratic questionnaire is that it clearly shows many voters. can not do See tariffs as a power action, as a protection action. Instead, they see it as “recklessly – – wandering around in a crazy, aimless and destructive way.

TThe democratic vote shows that the party considers Trump’s unsuccessful tariff regime as a great responsibility. “Instead of creating a sense of polls, power or economic security, La French French, the majority PAC spokesman, said the majority PAC spokesman. “When you are recklessly, you don’t actually reflect the power.”

Trump passes his messages through a mercilessly strong vs-Weak frame. In his explanations of everything he does, he constantly uses the word “strong .. He attacked his enemies for years diseased And closed. Trump’s most unstable shows – stupid claims about crowded dimensions, stupid images of his face attached To caricaturized steroidal objects, vile There is a high-level quality that seems to be designed to convey a compelling, resistant aura of its own about the occupation of US cities.

Trump regularly manages his performance on the subjects, but reality breaks down the illusion. Trump insists that Russia will not invade Ukraine as president and bubbles Feckless Salafs gave to Ukraine – but Vladimir Putin He humiliated Trump continued to kill. Trump’s propagandists glorify the militarization of cities, but when creating a great power abuse, Trump’s lawyers fighting to blame unprecedented People were swept in his pressure.

In the meantime, Trump threatens by Fiat to end the mail and As Jamelle Bouie statedTrump He wants clearly Such executive orders will be understood as a monarchic edict that is not connected by the borders of parliament. Still Republicans Quiet fear He takes it back their parties Struggle for voting by mail. Trump consultants, journalists, wrote that democrats did not criticize the mass deportation and criticizing the military professions of cities, but they wrote the majority. to reject both of themHe does not clearly see it as “power ..

Trump passes his tariffs from this frame, insisting that they were necessary, because previous weak and unidentified leaders could not prevent other countries from dismantling us. But they weaken us badly from the inside, and the majority see them not as power, but as complexity.

“Democrats should attack this dimension of Trumpism – Trumpworld’s basic story tells that it is ‘strong’, says Democratic Strategist Simon Rosenberg Usually discusses For this. “The way of seeing politics, the strong, the winner losing framework. We must understand and remove them from them.”

One reason why the Democrats hesitate to do is, at first glance, may seem to have a paradox here. Trump, of course, combines autocratic power in many annoying ways. As a law professor Put Kate Shaw with TimesTrump assumes only for his own authorities, assuming that their predecessors never think: Militarying cities through excuses, legally protected agency heads firing their heads, spending congresses allocated funds, media organizations and great cultural institutions and much more. Calling Trump as “unsuccessful olur may seem to reduce warnings about the autocratic threat he puts forward.

But not. Even when Trump’s illegal actions are diminished, in many cases he’s dealing with ridiculous resources and wandering around. Here, while Trump boasts of high approval ratings, Flunkies obeyed the two -bit Tinpot’s Mercurial Megalomania in an obedient way:

And here, Trump is mercilessly performed after insisting that the approval grade is 71 percent:

In reality, G. Elliott Morris averages of polling Trump received the general approval of 42 to 54.

Morris It also shows calculations Underline underline underlining his political weakness, Trump under deep water on all key issues:

There is a way to reconcile this authoritarianism-VS-Failure paradox. The Democrats may condemn their abuse for the cross-threat of Rubicon posed by Trump-they claim that the failures of proliferation at the same time are more threatening and unrestricted. In short, Trump is a buborish figure that makes it so flaming and dangerous exactly that reinforces authoritarian power simultaneously. And the democrats can say exactly.
