Opinion | Is Trump Finished?

We are at the 532nd episode of Donald Trump Is Finished. And so I think a lot of people are seeing some things that are really bad for Donald Trump. His polls are down slightly. He lost — the Republicans have lost every major election in the last year. And to me, one of the most interesting facts is that 20 percent of Trump voters think Donald Trump is responsible for the economy. And so E.J. is about to talk more about this if he’s consistent with his column in The Times the other day, but —— I think I’ll contradict myself. But there are people who are flaking off. But is it something pivotal? Are we at a pivotal moment? I don’t think so. If you asked people a couple of months ago who was a better president, Donald Trump or Joe Biden, there was still a healthy majority that said Donald Trump. And finally, is — Donald Trump is not a man to be inhibited by opposition or by rules. And so he is the president of my lifetime, I think all our lifetimes, who has exercised power more freely while ignoring restraints. And I think he’ll continue to do that.
