It will go down in history as the “Bah! Humbug!” address.
But this was not an address by a self-confident man dishing out Christmas presents to the nation. It smacked of desperation from one who can feel the December windchill of opinion polls – a Reuters/ Ipsos poll on Tuesday showed just 33% of US adults approve of how Trump has handled the economy – dissent in his own Republican ranks and the Jeffrey Epstein files looming on Friday.
The speech also revealed Trump’s need for a reliable foil. Over the years Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been useful nemeses for a man and movement defined less by what they are for than what they are against.



MTG got approached by a group of consultants promising her the presidency
Have you listened to her lately? She sounds like Kamala during the second half of her mini-campaign
I hope she runs for president, the only thing this country hates more than people of color is women, insta win for the Dems, or hopefully a different party altogether
Before you get too excited, there’s a non-zero chance its her vs Kamala…
So MTG is saying the president did a great job and that she wouldn’t change any of his policies if she was elected president?
Yep. Well, adjusted for inflation. She suddenly has not a single negative thing to say about Trump. She does her damnedest to not talk about him at all
It’s all we have to focus on “the issues” and “the things people really want”
No policy, obviously
Huh, fair enough I guess, I thought she was still going after Trump and just trying to take his place as the QAnon set’s champion, but I guess that what I get for assuming a known liar would be consistent in her positions for more than a couple of weeks
Yeah, she’s totally sane washing herself, she even explicitly said she no longer believes in q anon
It’s really uncanny. She doesn’t even have the manic energy anymore, she sits there calm and proper at an angle with her hands still… You know what I’m talking about, the consultant pilled body language
I’d recommend looking up a clip, it’s an incredible case study of what consultants do to the human body
