RawStory - 'Starting to fail': Trump said to have already 'planted seeds of his own political demise'

Donald Trump hasn't even taken office yet, but he's already made a major misstep, according to a former Republican writer.

Trump, who is going to be entering his second term as a "lame duck" President, has been under fire for his nominations to important posts, including former lawmaker Matt Gaetz, who would be Attorney General.

Those nominations could be his undoing, according to New York Times columnist David French, an ex-writer for the conservative National Review.

French, who previously shared signs of what he thought could be the end of the MAGA movement, said Trump's nominations are a threat to the former and incoming president.

"That was quick. Donald Trump is planting the seeds of his own political demise," French wrote Sunday in an article titled, "Donald Trump Is Already Starting to Fail."

1. OK, sure

We have been hearing that for about a decade now.

Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler eventually committed suicide and Mussolini was executed and his body dragged through the streets and hanged by a lamppost. So hey it's all good. Trump will lose in the end.

3. Yeah, there's two decades's distance between Mussolini's March on Rome

and being shot by partisans south of Lake Como. I won’t believe in Orange Julius’ downfall until it actually happens.

4. That was my point

That was my point, hence the /s ("s" for "sarcasm&quot at the end of the post.

2. Stalin, Mao, Kim, Franco, Pinochet, Pol Pot, Idi Amin etc. all died in bed

5. He's going to fail

and that's our best hope. That his incompetence and the incompetence of the people he surrounds himself with will limit the damage.

And he WILL cause damage.

And assholes like David French will find things to like about his administration and write about them glowingly.

It's inevitable.
