Is Everyone Sick of Donald Trump?
I happen to believe that the best political journalism in the Trump era is coming from Olivia Nuzzi, who writes for New York Magazine. She not only gets it but seems to show up at moments and at places where reporters covering Trump need to be.
Her latest appearance was at a Trump rally in Iowa, for which she posted some pics on her X site, along with some descriptive comments, the whole point being that Trump is beginning to hold rallies where nobody or next to nobody shows up.
And why should anyone show up at a Trump rally? All he does for an hour or longer is either talk about himself or whine about how terrible everything has become under Joe.
Meanwhile, the biggest problem that he and all the other GOP wannabees have right now is that yesterday the numbers came out and right now, seven one-hundredths of one percent (.007%) of the U.S. workforce is drawing unemployment benefits — that’s 1.2 million out of a total working population of 163 million.
Yea, yea, I know about all those illegals trying to sneak into Texas from Mexico or Venezuela or wherever they’re allegedly coming from. Last year the border cops apprehended 2.2 million illegals on the Southern border, the highest number of all time. That’s six one-hundredths of one percent (.006%) of the national population, okay?
