The sweeping blue wave in the midterms WAS about Trump
Donald Trump who these days looks as if he has been hit by a hurricane, was definitely wrong when he claimed that the midterms was nothing to do with him per se. I reckon every American voter went into the polling booths last week with one thought and only one thought in mind: do we still want Trump as our president. A huge number of voters, whether Democratic or Republican, decided they couldn't put the cross against Republican candidates for Congress BECAUSE of Trump. It was all his fault. JD Vance was right when he said it was the Iran war that was to blame. But the Iran war is Trump, it's all about Trump. He must know that, despite what he has been saying. Midterms are generally bad for the sitting president but in Trump's case it was obliteration. Now he seems determined to end the wars in Iran and Ukraine to try and regain some popularity. But the deals in the making don't sound like historic breakthroughs. Ukraine will be carved up, with unconquered land handed to the Russians, and Iran will still be a nuclear threat, with a regime unbowed by America's military superiority. It will be peace at a price, and in terms of Ukraine, will make the whole of Europe more vulnerable to Russian aggression. The future doesn't look good and I haven't even mentioned the world's failure to combat climate change.
