Many of you know about my trick knee. I have relied on it on occasion when I feel something unusual might be about to happen.
I want to remind you that “might” is the operative word. I cannot predict anything. I dare not try. My record of predicting outcomes is pretty shabby. I mean, I was one of many so-called pundits who said Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in to capture the presidency in 2016. Wow … we missed the mark on that one!
What might occur in the immediate future? Bear in mind once more that I am no shape to predict a single thing particularly where it regards the individual I am about to mention.
The individual is Donald Trump. What could happen is that the 45th and 47th POTUS might not finish his term in office.
I have listened to him incessantly since he took office the second time in January 2025. When I listen to his speech patterns and compare them to what he blurted out during his first term and prior to that, it is clear as mud to me that he no longer is firing on all cylinders.
How does that occur? I might suggest the 25th Amendment could come into play, but that requires a unanimous approval by the Cabinet. To be honest, I have difficulty imagining Trump lackeys such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or FBI Director Kash Patel signing on.
There could come a moment of private reckoning when Trump realizes his legislative agenda is dead. That death would come when the House and Senate both flip from Republican to Democratic control. If the House flips, I would bet real American money that impeachment is on the way.
I believe all Americans can see for themselves what is painfully obvious. It is that Trump isn’t half the politician he once was. The POTUS who is obsessed with “ratings” will find out what low ratings mean to him personally. He cannot cope with being a loser.
It is happening.
