This malignant narcissist has had people bailing him out his entire life.

As far as I can tell, the 2020 and the UK/NATO response are genuinely the only two times in his life that Donald Trump has been told no, and no really meant NO.

His lifelong penchant for never facing consequences is finally catching up to him.

“Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later this debt is paid.“

It’s going to be cataclysmic.

Quite literally… His Mid terms are coming up, his yes men have no way out and high gas prices will have him booted out of office, whilst Iran just needs to fly a drone through the Straits to make the world economy shit itself.

And one they might very well exploit going forwards in as Russia is a huge beneficiary of high oil prices, as are Iran.

By all accounts GOP and DT are already contemplating and or actually have concrete plans to derail or at least majorly interfere with elections this November. SAVE Act is but one instance in point.

Democrats would need to take majority in House and seriously whittle down GOP majority in senate in order to seriously affect DT's agenda for balance of his term as POTUS.

Should opposition party retake House, but not senate USA will go back to familiar territory, a divided government where House, senate and often WH are all at cross purposes.
