When Do the MAGA Folks Drink the Trump Kool-Aid

 I have to wonder how MAGA members continue to support Trump. His promises to improve the lives of voters, notably the lie that he would bring the price of eggs down. Except for a slight decrease in their prices caused by an increase in the supply, nothing has happened. In fact, with his tariffs, it is far more likely that prices will rise.

He has alienated Canada and European allies. With his tariffs, a proposed assault on Greenland, he, and others, especially those who voted for him, have destroyed any trust we may have had in the past. Now will our trading partners continue to purchase our products, and will they continue to provide us with the products we need, like oil and natural gas? Will we still have the backing of NATO?

He also promised to end the war in Ukraine on his first day. Nope. There had been a weak cease fire, but Russia only slowed down. (And, by the way Russia started the war and not otherwise.) Trumps threat of pulling out of NATO has earned Europe's disdain, and it should worry us as well. Both Canada and Europe have been exploring other options with other trade partners. 

Trump's tariffs trashed the stock market until he postponed their application, and in the process, he announced that it was a good time to buy, instigating insider trading.

Trump's hatred for any law that stands in his way, and with the Supreme Court's gift of “a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution” for any actions related to his official responsibility, allows him to do anything he wants. Now this may sound acceptable to MAGA, the reality is that Trump's focus could turn on them, and he can do anything he wants.

So, belly up to the bar, MAGA, and drink the elixir he has prepared for everyone.
