Yes, but he's too dumb/narcissistic to know it --
think of the 100's of things he has done just since getting elected again in 2024:
The tariffs
The ICE disaster in MN
The Iran War
Gutting and politicizing the DOJ
Comically failed indictments of perceived enemies
The Weaponization Fund
Putting House and Senate seats in danger by promoting MAGA morons
The ridiculous "ballroom"
The golden statue of himself
The planned "Arc de Trump"
Measles outbreaks
Vaccine suppression
Everyone one of these (and scores more) are political own goals. They got him nothing politically. They hurt the public, his party, and him politically. But he doesn't give a f*ck. He just thinks that somehow he's going to power through it.
