Headline from The Hill Times · compiled from 4 sources

Michael Harris, an award-winning author and journalist,[1] writes in a Hill Times column that "it is not at all certain that the world can take two more years of United States President Donald Trump."[1]

Harris writes in The Hill Times that Trump faces plummeting poll numbers and criticism even from his own party.[1]The column points to California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has called for the use of Sec. 4 of the 25th amendment to remove Trump[1]. According to TIME, Newsom said in a statement that "Donald Trump is mentally ill"[2] after Trump made remarks Monday suggesting an attack by Iran on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego would be "a small price to pay."[2]Fox News reports that Trump told a campaign rally in Grand Island, Nebraska[3]: "Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego"[3]. Fox also reports that the White House said the president was arguing that American cities could have faced threats from Iran if Tehran had obtained a nuclear weapon.[3]Law Commentary notes that Newsom's call has no direct legal effect[4], and that Section 4 has never been invoked against a president.[4]Harris argues that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up fuel and food prices to the point where Trump supporters are hurting[1]. He writes that Republican volunteers are not even showing up to knock on doors[1] the way they once did.Harris also writes that Trump called the affordability crisis a "hoax" and described the increase in the cost of gas as "peanuts."[1]
