The key will be whether the Republican machine can bullshit its way out of them. It works for now. They can just make something up and enough of the American public will go along with it, whether they genuinely believe it or not.

@vershy versh I bet you £100 Trump will last the full term, with the exception of ill health doing for him. You seem absurdly confident in your typically doomy prognosis given he's already done 4 years with no major mishap.

I think that the people constantly saying that Trump won't last his term are the mirror image of those hysterically shouting for Starmer to step down.
