Trump torches his own party’s win for a long-shot voting bill

Original version ·

Just when Trump had a legislative victory in his hands, he decided to set it on fire for a cause that’s going absolutely nowhere.

It is not every day that a political leader decides to nuke a perfectly good deal just to chase a ghost. Trump Trump effectively blew up potential party wins this week, all to twist arms for an elections overhaul bill that is currently dead on arrival in the Senate.

The logic here is essentially betting the house on a hand that the dealer already folded. Instead of taking the easy win, the focus is entirely on forcing through strict voting mandates that have zero path forward. Watching a politician actively dismantle their own leverage to push a hopeless cause is a bold, if utterly confusing, strategy.

Politics really is just watching someone set their own car on fire to prove they can walk home.
