Bush did something similar. Clinton left office with a surplus in the Treasury. The GOP was so embarrassed that the "tax and spend" Dems had somehow created a surplus that Bush cut $300 checks to everyone to get rid of the evidence.

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been.
In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

A state service branded to the leader is a hallmark of personalist governance. Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance. The Constitution recedes, and Trump becomes the perceived gatekeeper.
