Trump failures spark global 'shift' — and his irrelevancy in 'only a few months': expert

President Donald Trump’s decision to launch his unpopular war against Iran earlier this year has already sparked a global “shift,” renowned economic professor Richard Wolff argued recently, one that also set the president on an imminent path toward total irrelevancy in “only a few months.”

A professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and former professor at Yale, Wolff pointed to the recent progressive sweep last week in New York as evidence of his theory, and compared it directly with the civil unrest sparked during the Vietnam War that ultimately helped – at least, in part – bring about the U.S. withdrawal.

Trump 'threw a temper tantrum' that caused him to blow an 'easy W' for GOP: MS NOW

An MS NOW host argued Sunday that President Donald Trump squandered a rare political gift — a bipartisan housing bill that could have eased financial pressure on millions of Americans — because he "threw a temper tantrum," choosing instead to hold the legislation hostage to his voter ID agenda.

In an opening monologue, the host laid out what they framed as a baffling self-inflicted wound. Trump, he said, "had the opportunity to actually do something that could ease the financial burdens for countless Americans" and could have signed "the largest housing affordability bill in a generation" — a rare bipartisan measure that would have handed his own party something to campaign on in November.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham issued a grave warning to viewers last week in response to the recent progressive sweep of Democratic congressional candidates, a warning that included a potential “implication” that left two podcast hosts laughing hysterically.

“If we turn our government over to a bunch of Democrat socialists, Israel will be treated like South Africa was in the 1980s,” Ingraham said on Fox News last week. “It will be boycott all the way.”
