When a leading "conservative" commentator says it:

"I want to tell you a secret. One that most conservatives on the internet don’t want you to know. A year into his second presidency, Donald Trump has lost the country. 'The majority of voters believe the country is worse off today than it was a year ago.'"

~ Ross Douthat

“'Approval rating at 37 percent, the lowest of his second term.' 'A failure. Fail, fail, fail.'

And the grand coalition that he united to defeat Kamala Harris has evaporated. And all of this was predictable. From the first days of DOGE through the debacle in Minneapolis, the Trump administration has consistently governed as if swing voters aren’t part of its coalition."

"And now, guess what? They’re not. …

The Trump administration is failing because it is making many millions of normal Americans feel totally freaked out. 'I regret voting for Donald Trump.'”

Douthat wants, of course, to cling to the fantasy that the "conservative" agenda he promotes is grand and Trump failed at implementing it. But bad trees produce bad fruit: Trump's the fruit of Douthat's tree.
