Dan Pfeiffer: “Two things are different from Trump’s first term. First, Trump’s corruption is more egregious. He and the Republicans aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. It’s a smash-and-grab job. Trump’s net worth has gone up nearly $3 billion since the 2024 election.”
“The second change is even more important.”
“Back in his first term, people were pretty happy with the economy. In the run-up to the 2018 midterms, Trump’s economic approval was near 50%. Now, prices are up on just about everything. People are struggling to fill their gas tanks and put food on the table, and they are furious at Trump for raising their prices with tariffs and dumb wars.”
