A simple quote from "Trump is trapped and tanking"


Well, it's an opinion piece, and already current events have rendered it a historical commentary, but it's worth repeating what the Washington Post's prolific Jennifer Rubin wrote.

The irony here — or is it karma? — is that Trump’s biggest cheerleaders in the right-wing media (e.g. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity) and his hardcore anti- immigrant adviser Stephen Miller who egged him on are now responsible for the worst political debacle of his presidency, one that has erased any residue of presidential power. He’s now trapped, waiting for a permission slip from the right-wing media chorus to capitulate — or watch his support and any hope for legislative accomplishments evaporate.
