Trump Is Failing

To anyone who doubts Trump's failing power and influence, I would suggest studying the life of Douglas MacArthur after he came back from the far East on April 18, 1951, having been removed from command by President Truman. He was extraordinarily popular, but as he gave talks it became obvious that he was more interested in nursing his personal grievances than in articulating a vision for the country's future, and he soon lost appeal. He lived out his life in a New York hotel, and finally died in relative obscurity in 1964.
