We have reached Peak Trump.
When you stop and think about it, that is a thoroughly remarkable thing to write in the year 2025. Donald Trump first arrived on the political scene a decade ago. He won the presidency in 2016, served as president from 2017 to 2021, and, during that time, was impeached twice. He lost reelection, brazenly lied about it, helped inspire a riot, and was subsequently convicted of a series of felonies. And yet it is now — not five years ago, or six months ago, or for a brief hour the day after he beat Hillary Clinton, but now — that Trump has reached the apex of his popularity and power. Objectively, that is astonishing, isn’t it?
