Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but the reality is that he's operating from a place of weakness.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

For every millionaire household that would get a tax break from Republicans’ big, ugly bill, 19 Americans would be stripped of their health coverage.

Trump gutted FEMA grants that help communities recover from natural disasters.

He's also taking an axe to NOAA — the agency that warns us of severe weather.
He's declaring fake "emergencies" while reducing our ability to deal with real ones.
