British geneticist Dr. Gordon Strathdee lived in this United States for four years, and believes that the answer to the question here is yes, but not because of Trump per se. Read his incredibly astute comments here.
Here’s are two competing notions:
1) Though I’m not pro-military by nature, I have a great deal of respect for those who rose through the ranks and achieved the pinnacle of success, focused on one single thing: Their loyalty to the U.S. Constitution.
It’s true that, under Trump’s first term, a few retired generals came aboard his staff and then left, apparently because of disagreements they had with the president. At this moment, however, things seem to be fairly quiet. We even have the absurd situation that an alcoholic Fox News commentator is the Secretary of Defense, and no one’s making too much noise about it. But wait until the order comes down, “We’re invading Canada!” or some equivalent form of insanity.
The answer, which will come immediately and unanimously: “The f*** we are. You’re insane, and you’ve given your last command here.”
2) The economy, driven at least partially by extreme tariffs, goes so far in the tank that the MAGA folks can’t feed their families, and they drop Trump like a hot rock. True, these are not the type of people who are prone to admit they were wrong, even in the face of compelling evidence (which is the entire problem here), but hunger and poverty are powerful motivating forces.
Under this scenario, the congresspeople who represent the red states and are desperate to remain in office drop Trump as well, as his support on The Hill evaporates totally and immediately.

Revised Vaccination Regimen
The world could accept a radical change in The United States’ protocol for administering vaccination if it were made by scientists, i.e., people trained in the eradication of potentially lethal diseases. Our problem, and it’s one that’s unique to America, is that our health policies are made by a recovering heroin addict with no background in the subject — a crackpot with parts of his brain missing, having been eaten by a parasitic worm.
Fortunately for us all, no other country on Earth operates this way.

Handing the Keys to the Kingdom over to the Chinese
When I argue for environmental responsibility and the decarbonization of the grid, I often say:
I know there are people who believe, perhaps because this is what they’re told by Donald Trump, that climate change is a hoax. But are there people who don’t believe in cancer? In the importance of our country’s investing in the industry that is destined the dominate the 21st Century?
Trump will be gone soon. Maybe you and I will be gone (in a different sense) before the effects of this administration’s folly in the EV and cleantech industry are fully felt.
But it’s inevitable, unless we turn this around, and soon.
