Trump's Cult Of Personality Is Backfiring And Causing America To Reject Republicans
The more that Trump and his party try to force this president on to the American people, the more the majority rejects the GOP.
An odd dynamic has been at play in American politics for nearly a decade. Republicans have deified Donald Trump, while the rest of America treats him as the least popular president in the history of public opinion polling.
The implosion of the Democratic Party in what might be the first-ever collective party elite panic attack in presidential campaign history handed the White House back to Trump and the Republican Party, who immediately drew the wrong lesson from their win.
Republicans thought that America wanted Trump when in reality voters have been in an angry anti-incumbent mood since 2017, and tend to throw whoever the party in power is out of office at their first chance.
If Republicans wanted to break this cycle, they needed to tame inflation and costs. Instead, Trump and his party have set out to build several shrines to Donald J. Trump.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution listed some of these GOP efforts:
Not far from the Kennedy Center is the U.S. Institute of Peace. It’s now named the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”
Trump this week announced plans to build a new class of Navy ships. It’s going to be the “Trump-class” battleships.
There’s also the Trump Accounts put into law in the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed this year.
