With Donald Trump\u2018s refusal to sign a bipartisan housing bill that Republicans hoped might save them from doom in the upcoming midterms, even GOP members of Congress are now openly viewing the president with anger and derision. Senate Majority Leader John Thune laughed out loud when asked about Trump\u2019s abrupt cancellation of the planned White House signing ceremony.<\/p>\n

Other House Republicans weren\u2019t as nice. \u201cIt\u2019s a f**ing s**t show, isn\u2019t it?\u201d one member told me. \u201cIt\u2019s always about him. That\u2019s his only idea. He\u2019s nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

We no longer live in a nation known for its bright ideas \u2014 at least not since the Kennedy era \u2014 and some would argue you\u2019d have to go as far back as Teddy Roosevelt.<\/p>\n

But Trump\u2019s obstinacy over a housing bill that passed Congress with a huge majority, combined with his horrible deal to extricate the U.S. from the Iran war and the grotesque algae bloom in the Reflecting Pool, make it apparent that Trump fever has finally broken on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who was among a group of Senate Republicans meeting with Trump on Wednesday, reportedly ended up in a shouting match some observers ranked as a \u201cseven out of 10.\u201d On what? The Richter scale, I suppose. Some inside the room compared it to \u201ctwo boys at recess yelling at each other over a foul on the basketball court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cassidy said afterward that Trump has asked him,\u201dWhy would anybody vote for the War Powers Act?\u201d The senator said he responded, \u201cIs that a rhetorical question, or would you like to really know?\u201d Trump said he really wanted to know. So Cassidy told him. Many Republicans believe Trump simply went too far by waging war on Iran without even consulting Congress. For the first time, they banded together to stand up to him. Of course it didn\u2019t last. As if on cue, late Wednesday night the Senate walked back its resolution aimed at removing U.S. military forces from Iran. I guess Trump can still out-yell everyone.<\/p>\n

He still wants to be the king, and of course he loves the limelight. Some members of Congress think Trump is just stalling on the bipartisan housing bill for dramatic effect, so he can take a big bow for signing it a few days down the line. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., appearing on MSNBC, said she had no idea what was going on with Trump. \u201cYou got the wrong person\u201d if you want to get inside the president\u2019s head, she said. I know very few who want to do that, but a great many who think that Trump\u2019s claim of a new American \u201dgolden age\u201d is \u201cpure horses**t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what happens when you can\u2019t trust the media, politicians, entertainment, education and healthcare?\u201d That question came from the chief of staff for a prominent member of Congress.<\/p>\n

I honestly don\u2019t know, but the question is intriguing. Our society is getting a lot of things wrong, it appears. But hope springs eternal.<\/p>\n

\n

I know for sure that Trump fever is breaking because several prominent figures in the GOP are now considering their options \u2014 at least in private or among close friends \u2014 when the day finally comes that the 80-year-old president is no longer around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I know for sure that Trump fever is breaking because several prominent figures in the GOP are now considering their options \u2014 at least in private or among close friends \u2014 when the day finally comes that the 80-year-old president is no longer around.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of us are wondering if it will be sooner than later,\u201d a junior member of Congress said. Some folks, including a few inside Trump\u2019s administration, have started to refer to the whole enterprise as \u201cWeekend at Bernie\u2019s\u201d \u2014 referring to the legendary 1989 comedy in which two aides try to pass off their dead boss as alive.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there are those who wet their lips and whisper about \u201cimpeachment\u201d as if it might really happen. Please. Sit down. No Democrat will make a move on that before the midterms. As I\u2019ve repeatedly said, they will only do so after those elections if they win control of both houses of Congress, and know they have the votes to convict him. (Which isn\u2019t likely, no matter what.) Members on both sides of the aisle, and even members of Trump\u2019s staff, are more concerned that the president will roll over like a cockroach and start spouting gibberish (if he hasn\u2019t done that already) or that he simply won\u2019t survive his full term, which still has 940 days to go. In both cases, \u201cWeekend at Bernie\u2019s\u201d is the proper analogy. \u201cThis administration is dead in the water,\u201d another Republican congressman told me.<\/p>\n

Or on the other hand, maybe not. Many Republicans and some Democrats are concerned by the recent primary victories of what some call \u201cBlue MAGA\u201d or the \u201cDemocratic Tea Party,\u201d meaning far-left socialists or progressives. \u201cThey will breathe life into the Republican Party,\u201d said Joe Walsh, a former GOP congressman turned Trump critic. Trump himself posted\u00a0 \u201ccongratulations\u201d to Zohran Mamdani shortly after three candidates the New York mayor backed took down mainstream Democrats in city\u2019s districts. \u201cMayor Mamdani pulled through 3 solid Communists, and has received loud and universal applause from the Fake News Media,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social.\u00a0\u201cCongratulations Mr. Mayor!\u201d<\/p>\n

Moderate Democrats have also expressed fear that those NYC rebels\u2019 victories could undermine the party\u2019s efforts to win control of the Senate in November (the House is pretty much in the bag). That does not ameliorate\u00a0 Republicans\u2019 growing fears, and Democrats\u2019 growing excitement, that the \u201cWeekend at Bernie\u2019s\u201d regime can\u2019t possibly last much longer.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, there\u2019s a lot of scrambling among Republicans that\u2019s starting to look more like panic than strategy. Among Trump\u2019s staff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the favorite to take advantage of the president\u2019s faltering presence, though some true believers see Rubio as \u201cpart of the deep state,\u201d which in the regime\u2019s parlance means that he is somewhat civil and professional in public.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance would, of course, be the immediate beneficiary of Trump\u2019s literal or political demise. He\u2019s already out front, supposedly negotiating peace with Iran. Some believe Rubio maneuvered Vance into that position so when the peace deal fails it will fall on him and not Rubio \u2014 which would be beneficial for the latter\u2019s chances in 2028. Trump has outright confessed he\u2019s using Vance that way. If the peace talks succeed, Trump will claim credit. If they fail, he\u2019ll blame the vice president.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Democrats are staring at a whole lot of candidates whose stated goals for office haven\u2019t advanced much beyond metaphorically or actually flipping the bird at Trump. That might be enough to win the next election, because most of the world feels the same way, but it\u2019s an extremely short-sighted strategy. So what else is new in politics?<\/p>\n

The Republican Party should not be electable for the next 50 years, given its inexcusable actions during the Trump regime. But the Democrats haven\u2019t done a whole lot better.<\/p>\n

We are at a crossroads. Going forward, Republicans will have two strategies. Behind the scenes they will continue to jockey for position after Trump leaves, while using progressive victories in New York to tag the Democrats with the \u201ccommunist\u201d label. They will go down fighting, so we\u2019re going to hear an awful lot about \u201csocialists,\u201d \u201ccommunists,\u201d \u201cMarxists\u201d and \u201cradicals,\u201d at least until the end of the midterms, even as they try to keep the \u201cWeekend at Bernie\u2019s\u201d routine going.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake; the palace is on fire and the king is asleep \u2014 literally. Photos of Trump asleep in public are everywhere and drive home the agonizing \u201cBernie\u2019s\u201d-themed memes being shared among GOP staffers. If Republicans can distance themselves from Trump, and paint the Democrats as too far left, there\u2019s an outside chance they can stave off electoral disaster \u2014 but don\u2019t expect them to help out the American people in any meaningful way in the process, unless it benefits them directly. Furthermore, don\u2019t expect Trump to leave office of his own accord, even if he does survive to the end of his term. Don\u2019t expect an impeachment, no matter what gossip you\u2019re hearing, and don\u2019t expect the Democrats to be overly effective.<\/p>\n

Keep your expectations seriously low. Let\u2019s begin with not flushing the country down the tubes this fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Keep your expectations seriously low. Let\u2019s begin with not flushing the country down the tubes this fall.<\/p>\n

Trump loves to claim that our country is the hottest on the planet. It was dead before he came along, according to his standard stump speech. But make no mistake \u2014 it\u2019s Trumpism that\u2019s now dead. The heat we\u2019re all feeling is from climate change, and being too close to the flames of perdition. We live in a country run by divisive politicians and an incoherent media, and full of people who are increasingly confused and overwhelmed. But if and when Trump finally leaves office, the possibilities for solving the problems he\u2019s created will expand exponentially.<\/p>\n

Right now, we have to pass through the eye of a needle, and a limited number of possibilities could get us there. Trump could die in office. He could be removed from office. He could stay and live out his term. Democrats could win both the House and Senate. They could fail to do that, and things will remain as they are \u2014 or keep getting worse.<\/p>\n

Trump is increasingly lethargic, unintelligible and addicted to cosplaying commander in chief for the cameras. White House reporters, meanwhile, are preparing for the day \u2014 perhaps a day when they serve as pool reporter \u2014 when they get the call about a calamity befalling the president. That might happen.<\/p>\n

But the midterm elections loom large, or even enormous, in any calculations about the future. Trump will try to suppress votes. The GOP will scream that the election is rigged should a Democratic majority emerge in the House, the Senate or both. Democrats will scream that the fix is in and the GOP engaged in voter suppression if they fail to win one or both houses.<\/p>\n

If we want hope, we must count on the volunteers of both parties in precincts all over the country who will be working the elections to ensure an honest outcome.<\/p>\n

That is where I have the most faith. I have interviewed, worked with and engaged with volunteers \u2014 both as a reporter and a volunteer myself \u2014 since 1979. I have never doubted the tireless efforts of those who work the elections. This year our democracy is at stake. That might be a clich\u00e9, but this time it\u2019s literally true.<\/p>\n

Let the chips fall where they may. Let it be free and fair and without strife, as much as possible. Every voter needs to accept responsibility for ensuring they are registered, and must jump through whatever hoops are necessary in order to cast a vote in November.<\/p>\n

The peaceful transfer of power is a cornerstone of what makes this country great. Imagine the possibility, through all the strife, anger, ignorance and arrogance, that we might all work together to put country before party.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s something worth fighting for. And with the Trump fever breaking, it can be done.<\/p>\n
