So Donald Trump isn't invincible
Donald Trump has always given the impression that he thinks he is invincible. What he wants he gets and what he orders he is obeyed. But now with less than a month left before he takes over in the White House there is chaos in Congress. He and his acolyte Elon Musk ordered all Republicans to scupper the government spending plan at the last minute but more than 30 Republicans rebelled. Unheard of! Could this become a regular habit? If so, Trump's entry into the White House might not be as easygoing as he imagined. Then, what if Putin tells him he is not interested in ending the war in Ukraine. And Europe rebels over his demands for them to spend mnore money on defence? I'm not predicting any of this, but even for MAGA Trump, governing is not going to be a simple business. Things go wrong. Events happen. But at least Trump must have thought he had all Republicans in his pocket. But it seems not.
