3. That would work except it requires solid planning, coordination and trusted leaders. Trump et. al. lack all three

Trump actually could have made inroads in a number of areas if he had these capabilities within the administration.. Say if he had put forth a solid reindustrialization policy that would dovetail with a logical (ha!) tariff plan before setting off tariff turmoil to no good end. Or he was smart in studying immigration patterns and supported people coming with skill sets we need and filled the huge hiring backlogs for truckers, nurses, skilled construction trades, etc. He and the GOP have only had how long to have a viable counter plan to the ACA? His recent speech in PA where he denies, blames other for or ignores what the people can plainly see shows no sign of a man with a plan. Granted he has some capable evil minions but at the end of the day, they are just minions. And when we Dems take back Congress in 2026, all their lives will become much more complicated.
