MACA or Maccaroni

MACA—Make America Conservative Again. President Trump is losing control over the political future of the Republican Party. The midterm elections will center entirely on the President. It is to be expected that he will lash out at the EU to portray himself as the guardian of American economic interests. This move could backfire, however; threats of 100 percent tariffs against the EU over the new digital tax law cannot mask the total failure in handling Iran and allies in the Middle East. President Trump is not only losing control of political events regarding the conflict with Iran—he also risks being punished at the polls in the next election. That would mark the swan song of a presidency that began with such promise just a few years ago. The Republicans will need to regroup—aligning with figures like Rubio and the many patriots who can no longer follow Trump’s path. Those who wish to secure a new mandate and a resurgence for the Republican vision of a blessed America will not choose socialist Democrats; instead, they will opt for a more moderate Republican course—one clearly grounded in God, the Constitution, and Israel. If this vision is clearly articulated by the end of the term, then electoral success—bringing a blessing to the many in the U.S. who strive for peace and stability—will be assured.
