Conservative columnist explains how Trump is losing 'his grip on power'
With the devastating loss of the of 2018 midterm elections, the Republican Party is looking especially weak. And President Donald Trump is responding to this blow to his party's standing by ramping up his authoritarian rhetoric, demanding the legally required Florida recounts stop while he tries to punish CNN reporter Jim Acosta for asking tough questions.
As conservative writer Jennifer Rubin argued in a new Washington Post column, Trump's desperate attempts to assert power only show how vulnerable he has become.
He is "a failing president," she argued, even as the Republican Party is "incapable of breaking with him."
"Trump is cracking up, as is the GOP," Rubin wrote.
The signs of his failure are everywhere. Rubin details his missteps and vulnerabilities, from his diplomatic embarrassments in Europe and North Korea, to the domestic failure to replace Obamacare, to his legal exposure in both special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and the coming examination of his personal and family finances by congressional Democrats.
