CMV: Current admin doesn't care about reelection
\*\*EDIT/TLDR\*\*: Wish I could've worded the title better. By reelection I mean chances for the next Republican candidate. My thesis is they (trump obviously but also the current faction of Republicans who control all the keys to power which includes many potential 2028 candidates) care about is staying in power now, but not beyond 2028. The midterms just need to be not catastrophic. The idea is permanently shifting the political/economic/power landscape is more powerful than one or two elections. There's dirt to do, and until Trump there has not been a president as willing to push the boundaries and have the base to survive it, so the main goal is to take advantage of the window now, not after 2028. There is no long term thinking, no decade long plan to "restore Monroe doctrine" or "economic nationalism".

Real talk, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like there’s more coming here.
I get the idea, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s what people are responding to
Trying to be fair, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
I get the idea, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just how it reads to me.
Looking at this, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which turns this into more of a debate
Stepping back, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that tension shows up immediately Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy which makes the reaction pretty predictable Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Without overthinking it, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Others will probably see it differently.
