The Ridiculous Donroe Doctrine, Trump Imagines Himself Emperor Of The Americas, January Is Going To Be A Very [View all]

Consequential Month

Simon Rosenberg

Morning all. There is a lot happening today. Will try to get to it all…..

As we’ve been discussing January is going to be a very consequential month in American politics, and potentially a very hard one for Trump and MAGA. The Congress begins to return today from its Holiday break. Here’s what I wrote to you a few days ago:

Congress returns from its break next week, and it is going to be a deeply consequential month ahead. If there is no fiscal year 2026 budget the government will run out of money again on January 30th. The lawlessness of the DOJ and a flood of new Epstein files/photos/video will keep this rancid affair front and center. Trump’s tariffs could be struck down by the Supreme Court, throwing the budget negotiations into chaos; or perhaps worse for the Rs, they will be allowed to continue, further weakening the economy and keeping prices too high. Next Tuesday is the 5th anniversary of Trump’s attack on the Capitol in 2021, and Democrats will be marking it with a day long set of events. The fight to prevent Trump from selling out Ukraine and Europe - and our own security - to Putin continues, as does the fight to stop Trump from continuing to commit War Crimes and violate both US and international law in the Americas. Across the country state and local elected officials at all levels of government are returning to govern against the harms Trump has done to their people - higher prices, rising joblessness, the assault on health care and food assistance, soaring utility prices, an out of control DHS/ICE, worker shortages, struggling farmers and small businesses - which will make the ugliness of what they’ve done far more proximate to people all across the country.


Taken together, it’s all a very powerful rationale for creating a grand diversion, waging the dog, doing a Hail Mary to get his terrible poll numbers up and restore his STRENGTH and MANHOOD, and re-asserting control over his fraying Congressional coalition.
