Is the "Trump rally" finally over?

It looks like the misplaced love affair with the clown may be over. His approval rating is at a record low, and he's already showing himself to be a lame duck. The risk of geopolitical uncertainty is rising, and the expected boost from tax cuts is fading. I expect discord within the GOP to increase as they all look ahead to their own elections next year and start to distance themselves from his stink, and so Trump's ability to get anything done other than "executive order" will get worse. He attacked Obama relentlessly for doing executive orders, but it's different when it's him doing it I guess.

Repeal and replace, abject failure. Those "historic" tax cuts, not happening this year, which the market in recent months appears to have pinned hopes on. Travel ban, can't even pass the courts. Now even his biggest fans in the alt-right are turning on him for his rapid 180 on Syria. The Syria situation could easily drag the US into something much worse, and he seems to have bombed without strategy (and without asking Congress...) just to score some feel-good bumps for himself. He said he was so disturbed by the footage of suffering children but he's not so disturbed that he'll let any of them into the US, nor did he care after 2013's gas attacks when he urged Obama not to get involved and not to do anything without asking Congress (which the Republicans were all against when it was Obama, but love it now).

He attacked Obama repeatedly for travel while he travels every weekend and is on pace to rack up more taxpayer costs for travel in 1 year than Obama in 8 years. He attacked Obama for golf, however at this point Obama hadn't even been on a golf course while Trump has golfed what 14 or more times already? Unbelievable. Remember last year he said, "I just wanna stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who's gonna leave? I mean, who's gonna leave?" That would be you, every Friday afternoon, to play golf all weekend at our expense.
