Few Presidents have had a drunker summer than President Donald Trump is having right now. I would have to say, Nixon is right up there, and in August 1974, Nixon, with no wind at his back, threw in the towel, and got his sorry ass onto that helicopter and cut and ran.
Not to say this President is going to quit though things are drunk. I am betting he might but he might want to get a few more rallies in first to satisfy his addiction to the adoration. He also can still win even though things are tough all over just that quick. In December, he looked like a lock for a second term; now he looks like he should take a standing eight count.
He is a sitting President and the polling is not great. Usually sitting Presidents are in the mix polling wise unless things are really horrific. Well, the answer to that is, things are not just horrific; they are drunk as hell.
The economy is in the tank. I mean, it is bonkers if you keep up with such things. Over 40 million people have filed for unemployment recently and the economy is shrinking like clothes in the dryer. Everyone is hoarding their cash.
