If Trump were truly as dim-witted as the quote suggests, how do critics explain:
Winning the presidency twice, including a comeback in 2024 against a deeply entrenched establishment.
Reshaping the federal judiciary, with over 230 appointments including three Supreme Court justices.
Reorienting global trade, forcing renegotiations of NAFTA (USMCA), pressuring NATO allies, and confronting China.
Weaponizing executive power, dismantling bureaucratic resistance, and installing loyalists across DOJ, DHS, and intelligence.
These are not the moves of a tanning-bed-brained amateur. They’re the actions of someone who understands leverage, disruption, and power consolidation.
Cohn resigned over Trump’s tariffs. He opposed the populist economic agenda and lost. Since then:He’s faded from relevance, rarely appearing in policy circles.
His critiques have aged poorly—Trump’s protectionist stance is now mainstream across both parties.
Cohn’s Wall Street pedigree made him a poor fit for Trump’s nationalist pivot.
His bitterness reads more like sour grapes than sober analysis.
The “inbred tanning bed” insult was always a media caricature—designed to entertain, not inform. In 2025, it’s laughably obsolete. Trump’s critics underestimated him, misread him, and now watch him reshape the country with surgical precision. Mockery doesn’t stop momentum. Strategy does.
Your replies get weaker and weaker all the time.
