It there’s one factor that has been revealed by the No Kings protest over the weekend when contrasted with the army parade on the president’s birthday, it’s that Donald Trump is outnumbered.
Trump is unpopular in a visceral method that has by no means been seen in fashionable American politics.
Much more than being unpopular, Rachel Maddow described the great smallness and failure of Trump.

Maddow mentioned:
We’re at some extent the place Trump, and I do not imply this in a imply method, however as a political determine, he seems to be unhappy and small, proper?
No person got here to his $45 million army celebration. He’s a laughing inventory on the world stage. He is being handled on the G7 proper now like he is Putin’s intern. The White Home simply introduced tonight that Trump is coming dwelling early from the G7 assembly tonight after, so embarrassing himself there at the moment.
This can be a president whose signature financial coverage, his supposed tariff coverage. Is a punchline even amongst Republicans. Sometime, 30 years from now, the entire lecture corridor stuffed with Econ 101 college students is gonna snort out loud when the professor will get out the chalk and writes taco on the chalkboard and has to elucidate what the acronym taco meant within the Trump years for his signature financial coverage that he thought would work so nicely for him, each politically and economically.
It’s a punchline.
