The president is purging Republicans who stand against him, but polls show the party should be distancing itself from Trump.

Dozens of the insurrections pardoned by the president have committed more crimes. That was an obviously foreseeable consequence of recklessly releasing rioters.

With President Trump continuing to tank in the polls, the parlor game we know as "2028 Republican primary speculation" is back in full swing among the chattering classes.

After a gunman interrupted an event last week, the president had the nation's attention and could have done something productive. He didn't.

The podcaster is not conceding that the 'Never Trump' crowd got it right — which is what we have been dying to hear for a decade.

His playbook calls for generating so much disgust that Americans tune out and he can get away with anything.

Even now, as Democrats appear to be surging, polling suggests that fewer than 40% of Americans view the party favorably.

Even controlling the party that controls Washington, Trump can't get a budget deal or end his war, because he keeps moving the goal posts.

For the first time, prediction markets are indicating Republicans will lose both chambers in November.

Once you've entered a war without a coherent justification, clearly defined goals or a credible exit strategy, you're lucky to get out at all.

By failing to swiftly endorse for Senate, the president is setting up the two remaining Republican primary candidates for a fight that hurts the GOP.

Trump tries to co-opt everything he can for his aggrandizement, even a big win for the U.S. at the Olympics.
