Donald Trump’s closest aides say that the fact he’s obsessing over pet projects while his approval ratings plummet shows he’s in total denial about the bonfire he’s made of his second presidency.
Trump, 80, dropped to 32 percent approval in a Quinnipiac survey released last week. That’s the lowest figure of his political career—lower, even, than his numbers in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol Building. Sixty-eight percent of voters now say he’s not paying enough attention to the issues weighing on most households.
For some reason, the use of bonfire in that text really bugs me. Bonfires are great. People gather around bonfires and generally have a great time.
Especially soltice bonfires, with witches.
Bonfire of the Vanities, comes to mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonfire_of_the_Vanities
Especially when there’s the perfectly good dumpster fire they could have used.
