Donald Trump’s policies, once marketed as bold and popular, are now showing clear signs of fatigue. Erratic outcomes weigh heavier than promises, and investors know it: Venezuela, touted as fertile ground for capital, has revealed itself as a swamp where no one dares to risk their money.
His fixation on Greenland, blocked by NATO’s legal actions, became a symbol of overreach and diplomatic failure. Meanwhile, nations like the United Kingdom and Canada openly brand him a destabilizing agent, pointing to his withdrawal from the WHO and his unwavering alignment with Israel’s hardline agenda—wrapped in a messianic narrative of “pacifying the world” before building a Third Temple in Jerusalem.
At home, inflation refuses to decline, and the shadow of justice looms larger. The Epstein files remain a ticking time bomb, while reckless statements—such as surgically bombing parts of Mexico or “liberating” Cuba from communism—reveal desperation more than strategy. Even the possibility of declaring extraterrestrial life seems like a distraction tactic to offset plummeting poll numbers.
Meanwhile, ICE wages a campaign of terror against migrants and citizens alike, destabilizing the nation within and beyond its borders. The underlying goal appears to be delaying the inevitable: the exposure of documents that could drag him into court and toward impeachment.
Today, Trump’s popularity is no longer measured by the ratings of The Apprentice. The irony is stark: the man who turned “You’re fired” into a spectacle now faces the prospect that the next one to be fired could be him.
