Trump Is a Weak and Failing President. Treat Him that Way.

As President Trump suddenly starts to retreat on many fronts, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg explains why Democrats should make Trump's weakness central to their case against him.

More: Yeah. The tariffs are the greatest policy error, arguably, in American history. He's using these powers without congressional assent in this capricious and tyrannical way, and it's blowing up on him. It's slowing the economy down. Prices are going up. The market's crashing. Confidence in the United States is ebbing. Money is flowing out of the country. The safe haven that's been so critical to our economic success and the dollar strength has been severely damaged. We've learned that Trump has now said that he's going to unilaterally reduce the China tariffs, having been persuaded by his economic team that they were doing enormous damage to the country. So he's in some form of another retreat"again. I think that this is part of this broader pattern, Greg: that he's failing and retreating and stumbling, and his buffoonery is becoming clear to the whole world.

I agree that Trump is failing, as we all knew that he would.

When Hitler began to fail he made it a point to take as many people down with him as he could.
