Donald Trump is a lame duck president whose own base are waking up to the fact that he peddles carny and insults, not much else.

The press seems to think that Stephen Miller has superpowers. He doesn’t.

With one day until the US mid-terms, the result is a foregone conclusion.

But then there goes the narrative.

We still need the little people to be afraid.

Stephen Miller is not in the same position he was in two years ago. MAGA numbers have dwindled. Without support from the House or Senate, they can’t get support for their agenda, and considering how many of Trump’s “executive orders” died in the courts, just as Fox News is losing viewers and support for Trump, Miller can plot and scheme all he wants; it’s not going to work.

Fox News still dominates, but its association with Trump was a costly mistake.

There is also talk that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is goading Trump to nuke Iran. When in doubt, use Cold War rhetoric.

Netanyahu’s fortunes are declining at the same time as Trump’s. Should the Democrats take control of the House and Senate, Pete Hegseth will be turfed or impeached one way or another.

When people feel under siege, they forget that powers weaken. They keep treating a weakening bully as if he will always be in his prime. That’s neither accurate nor helpful.

Because sooner or later, the situation changes. Power erodes. People learn the old tricks and counter them. Supports that made of strategies work are no longer there.

And you have to let go of the fear and see that when you put your foot down, the worst never happens.
