QUESTION: Is there any chance you can reason with Trump about Iran and Ukraine?

ANSWER: Sorry. That is not going to happen. Some Republicans I have spoken with just say Keep the faith. I have warned this could be the worst Midterm since 2006. The 2006 midterm elections were widely seen as a vote against the Iraq War, with public dissatisfaction over the conflict and President Bush’s handling of it driving Democratic gains. Exit polling showed the war was the top issue, and voters opposing it broke heavily for Democrats.
The 2006 midterm elections were the worst for Republicans in recent decades—a decisive “wave” election that ended 12 years of GOP control of Congress. Democrats didn’t just win; they won decisively across multiple fronts. Democrats gained a net of 30 to 31 seats, flipping control with a 233–202 majority. This was their biggest gain since the Watergate-era election of 1974. They picked up six Senate seats, all from Republican incumbents, securing a narrow 51–49 majority (including two independents who caucused with them).
The Republicans are living in LaLaLand. President George W. Bush’s approval rating hovered around 38% before the election, the lowest for a president in a midterm since 1950. Congressional Disapproval was serious with only 26% of Americans approved of the job Congress was doing. Donald Trump’s current approval rating is 34.6%, with a disapproval rating of 62.2%, resulting in a net approval of -22.4. Nobody wants to talk about it. Netanyahu has wiped out our country.
The Democrats are for WAR. This Sanction Bill on Russia was passed only because the Republican stuffed in the authority for Trump on Tariffs. They Democrats want to wash their hands in Russian blood like CNN, Politico, and MS Now.
We will see an economic decline that will be significant into 2028 as they will embrace Minandami’s philosophy and attack business and the rich, who the define as joint houshold income of $250,000.
Trump will lash out and it will become war between the White House and Congress. The Republicans FAILED to inform Trump about this Iran War we cannot win and waged for Netanyahu who does not give a shit about Trump and views he will get more endless money from the Democrats. The ONLY way to save the country and do what he was elected for is to throw Netanyahu under the bus, exit the war NOW, publicly admit he made a mistake listening to him. Anything shy of that will be a disaster.
I will do an update after running the models on civil unrest. God help us. It is going to get ugly into 2028. This is going to be the confrontation that lead to deep division in the USA and the eventual collapse of the Republican form of government as we reach 2032. I published this back in 2023 and it has target 2026 with a Panic Cycle in 2029. Grab your socks, and hold on tight.
