Trump himself is irrelevent, but the policies he and his R enablers have foisted on Americans aren't.

Most Americans' impressions of Trump are already baked in, He got elected again because too many voters had a hissy fit over prices rising during covid and kept it for 4 years while completely ignoring the quick economic recovery.
