'His reign will end': Ex-GOP insider flags evidence Trump's power is already 'waning'

Conservative political strategist Rick Wilson, one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics, urged his readers on Friday to “be of good cheer,” saying he believes the Trump administration is nearing collapse after what he described as a particularly difficult week for the White House.

“His reign will end. His power will wane. You could feel it this week. You watched that frantic disaster of a speech, the one where he fired off one deranged idea after another like a malfunctioning nail gun, and the teleprompter looked like it had been set to ‘cocaine binge,’" Wilson wrote in an analysis published Friday on his Substack “Against All Enemies.”
