The recent G20 summit in South Africa (which Donald Trump boycotted) is revealing a major reorganization of world trade is clearly underway. Trading deals are being initiated at the summit that go around the US tariff system.
The US will be the big loser as countries seek new trade partners.

Asking Ukraine to virtually disarm in the US proposed peace deal is a non starter:
“In 2014/15 Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreements which froze the proxy war between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed fighters in the Donbas region … 7 years later, Putin attacked again, with more force than ever.”

Democrats are up 14 points in the generic ballot test.
If elections were held today, who would you vote for in your district, a Republican or a Democrat? Fifty-five percent in this poll said a Democrat, 41% said a Republican. In Marist polls, that's the biggest lead since 2017.

How about a campaign promise to reform the power of the President to unilaterally grant pardons?
I’m not sure what it would take to enact it but it sure sounds like a winner with the electorate to me.
Juice it up with an additional promise to undo all of Trump’s pardons.

It’s one of the few ‘hoaxes’ in history to have US legislation backing it up.
After dismissing the Epstein files issue as a Democratic "hoax" earlier, the president signed the bill a day after the Senate and the House passed it nearly unanimously.
