Do not think trump cares about his legacy. He has no intention of ever leaving office. It is a huge mistake to think he does not have a plan to stay put. Trump is as evil a male human has ever been. He is building an inhumane concentration camp in the middle of a swamp that will only be a tent camp for 5000 with no heat or air conditioning. Count on it. Those of us enraged by these scum and are speaking out are at risk too.

Listen to Trump talk. He talks about his legacy all of the time. He views the deportations as part of his legacy.---Jason

Hitler went down in history books, Stalin and Mussolini too. Trump will go down in history too, but what a legacy he willleave behind and be written about him.....it won't be the Nobel peace prize or his grand parade. He will be dissected for the insane maniacal lunatic he is.

I agree; judging from the past 6 months, he is hell-bent on forming a military dictatorship that will get rid of all his opponents, one way or the other. We don't have time to deliberate about what will happen in 2026; that's a year and a half away. He's not gonna wait around.

Yes, he is a sub-human, racist a$$hole. He will finish his term and then dismantle our constitution further by naming one of his sons his successor.

Jack Hopkins 23h

Eric Trump is floating the idea of a

"Trump Dynasty," stating that being president is a job he could do very effectively.

When a Trump talks about something like this...it's never just a random comment.

Of all the rambling they do, comments like these...are as precise as a surgeon's scalpel.

Ivanka has discussed a trump dynasty since his first term.

Don Jr. is traveling the globe, meeting heads of state and senior staff. (Hunting trips? Drug use?)

As much as I've fought, I don't want to live in this country if a trump dynasty rules.

I just happened to find this Daily story from politicasusa. I’m a paid subscriber for the Daily which hasn’t been in my email for more than two weeks. I checked my junk and trash not there either.

Trump is going to be out of office before the end of 2025 and his illegitimate administration will soon follow him. We will be in rebuild mode starting early to mid 2026. Depending on the interim government leadership teams and how bad things got before the trash was taken out, mid terms could be delayed. It all depends.

Nevertheless, since the election interference evidence will be vast and unimpeachable, the bill just passed is technically illegal and illegitimate so perhaps it all can be thrown out since 99% of it is trash.

With this corrupt Congress, good luck with doing any of that.

There will be midterms. But they will be rigged. See what Thiel did with Palantir in Westchester County, where Kamala got zero votes (?), as a test drive of how an election could be rigged. Be on close watch.

We can never forget that the dolt thinks about anything except self aggrandizement and enrichment. He doesn’t negotiate in anything that resembles good faith. As his dementia worsens, he sees himself as a feudal king who must be obeyed. The only way he’ll leave the White House in 2025 is if his bad health catches up with him.

This is the best news story I've read today. Republicans can forget about maintaining control of the House, and will probably also lose the Senate, not because people know all of this but because their treachery has become some tiresome.

As Lawrence O'Donnell is saying right now, the R party, POS, his entire administration is an example of the banality of evil. This is the latest NYT breaking news: "Trump Administration Withholds Nearly $7 Billion for Schools, With Little Explanation The money helps pay for after-school and summer programs, support for students learning English, teacher training and other services. But in an email, the Education Department notified state education agencies that the funds would not be available."

Where is the money going instead? Because we all know it’s being diverted, but where to??

Why would he give $$ to education? It wouldn't benefit him. He could always use that to build another gold toilet.

Thx for keeping us updated in a timely manner ,Jason and Sarah, and your dedication to the coverage of the ‘Barbarous Brutally (cruel) Bill’ farce that played out in the hypocritical Republican-controlled Congress.

Karma is always a REAL BITCH!

Democrats in the house have to make a spectacle (after all republicans in the house are back). Someone (democrat) needs to set the bill on fire. One by one the democrats set the bill on fire (in a trash can). Burn it section by section. Put a great visual to this and film it! Delay delay delay

RE: "he will be a lame-duck president who will only be focused on his legacy."

I don't think trump gives a damn about his legacy or anything in the future I have no doubt his attitude is, "Why should I care what anyone thinks after I'm dead?"

The outcry from those affected by this Bill, and, to be clear that is many, many in all but the Top Brackets will be deafening. Elected Officials, GOP, TO BE SURE, WILL HAVE TO RETHINK THIS TRAVESTY.
