Trump Participates In White House Hanukkah Celebration

2025 is nearly over.

At the end of the year, I am feeling bluer about American politics than I should be. It is why I find my attention drifting back toward history. I’m returning to my usual escape outlet.

I can’t justify it on the basis of policy. Illegal immigration has crashed to nearly zero. Legal immigration has been somewhat limited. Deportations have been underwhelming, but will probably pick up next year. There are pending Supreme Court decisions which are likely to turn out well for us like Louisiana v. Callais. It has become easier to talk about race. It is easier to talk about Jewish power. There haven’t been any new major wars although the military buildup and threats at Venezuela are alarming. The war in Gaza is in a state of limbo. I never expected Trump would succeed in ending the war in Ukraine.

The Hanukkah celebration that happened at the White House last night illustrates why Trump has lost so much support and momentum in 2025. MAGA identification is declining. Fewer people identify with this shitshow. Fewer people are excited about it or enthusiastic about voting in the midterms. Whether it was the Epstein debacle, the purge of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, the Iran strike, the MIGA Civil War that followed the death of Charlie Kirk or the lack of any compelling solution to post-COVID economic malaise, the second half of the year has taken a large toll on Trump’s support.
