President Donald Trump is in trouble with the white working-class voters who helped propel his surprise victory in 2016.

Ever since the beginning of the Trump crisis, I’ve written about Donald Trump’s obvious fetish for authoritarian dictatorships and how observing our nation’s most despotic president is an ongoing exercise in waiting for the other tyrannical shoe to drop.Following the jackbooted nincompoopery of the Trump White House, as I’ve said multiple times before, is a […]

President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is focusing their efforts, with fewer than 100 days before the election, on keeping his Republican base from cracking.
