Trump is forever until he isn't

Maybe the 2024 election was a political realignment. Or maybe it was a blip.

Me, yesterday:

“Marco Rubio as Secretary of State? He’s a lightweight but he’s on the right side regarding Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, so that’s far from the worst pick Trump could have made. And I’m damned if this Waltz guy he’s throwing out there as National Security Advisor knows who the good guys and bad guys are, too. Not so sure about the Fox News guy as Secretary of Defence, but at least he’s a veteran. Hey, maybe this second Trump term might not be so bad after all?”

Donald Trump, today:

If nothing else I’m shouldn’t lack for things to write about between now and January, 2029. [Taps watch to see if that will somehow make time move faster so we can get this over with.]
