Epstein, Election Blowout, Failed Government. Trump And His Presidency Are In Deep Trouble. - Simon Rosenberg [View all]
Nov 13, 2025
Morning all. It's been an extraordinary week. The Hopium paid subscriber community and I tried to make sense of it all last night in our regular Wednesday gathering.
Friends, Trump is in deep trouble. This is the big story in our politics now. His government has utterly failed, and made the lives of the American people worse, not better. His gluttonous corruption and traitorous monarchical ambitions have crashed into our daily discourse. His imperial and heartless management of the shutdown confirmed our central indictment against him - more for me, less for all of you - and further damaged his already deeply damaged standing with the public. He got blown out in the election last week. Significant cracks have begun to appear in his Congressional support. His health is failing, and his public performances are becoming even more unhinged and delusional. And then the Epstein bombshell dropped yesterday, and we learned from Epstein himself that Trump had been part of it all and knew about the girls. We also learned that Epstein believed he had compromising photos of Trump, and talked to the Kremlin about ways of managing Trump. I mean, holy shit

Due to the work of Robert Garcia, Hakeem Jeffries, and other Democratic leaders there will now be a vote on releasing the Epstein files in the House next week. It is expected to pass with dozens of Republicans on board. It will be the most significant rebuke of Donald Trump by Congressional Republicans this year. There is a lot going on right now, and we will be unpacking the momentous events of the past week for some time, but lets look at some fresh data that confirms that Trump is now in an even weaker state. As I discuss in the video, yesterdays University of Michigan survey measuring consumer sentiment came in at its lowest reading in its 65 year history. The national polls released since the blue wave election last week are the worst of Trumps presidency; his job approval is now regularly dipping into the 30s; even the skewed, fake Republican polls are starting to show him weakening.
