    I think Trump’s days are numbered after Epstein and Iran debacles. And it’s almost certain that Carlson is angling to grab a chunk of the base when the infighting get serious.

      People (&the media) have been saying his days are numbered for literal years and the ‘split’ ‘gap’ ‘break’ ‘riff’ in his base is just another talking point for clicks in most news articles.

      All I’m saying is, I’ll believe it when I see it.

        If there’s one thing his base cares about it’s gas prices, and they’re going to be going through the roof once the actual shortages start to hit. So far it’s just been market speculation driving them because tankers take a while to arrive. The shipments that were supposed to leave when the strait was closed would’ve been arriving in the next week or so, and when that doesn’t happen that’s when the real fun starts. I just don’t see how he’s going to climb out of the hole he dug for himself here.
