As long as Trump looks bad, who cares what happens to the country, its time to celebrate. Am I right?
If it snaps people out of their Trump worship, there will be some pain at the beginning, but it will usher in a golden age of America

Basically, what you are saying is God forbid Trump is successful for the good of the country. As long as people "snap out of their Trump worship." I believe that meets the standard of hating Trump more than you love your country.

Success for him is bad for (most of) us on balance. And so I hope he fails.

I wish him and the nation every success (I live here). But he has long announced his plans to institute these tariffs, despite the advice of virtually all economists (and my own humble advice). He held his press conference the other day to declare all of those economists wrong.

And now we all get to live with the results of his ignorant hubris. This is all 100% on him.

I am allowed, nay required, to say "I told you so."

I hate Trump more than I love this country and I love this country a whole lot.

If we agree he looks bad I’d call that progress.

That’s seems to be this administration’s whole approach.
I believe Trump's end state is other countries will drop their tariffs. Trump didn't start the tariff war. The United States is probably the most tariffed country in the world.

Unless it mean people will further "worship" Trump as a result. I understand.
No, I've come to terms with the worship. If the nation prospers, I can do 4 more years of that standing on my head.

So would it be fair to say that you wish the best for America, but if it doesn't go well, the silver lining would be that MAGA Republicans might flip?

If Trump's own decisions lead to a poor outcome, I hope everyone will see the reality for what it is.
