I heard Maher joke about the drop in merch sales, and that seems to support the polls. Great.
How badly is the GOP/Trump/MAGA failing? Trump merch stores are shutting down, because they can't get enough business anymore.
The polls are lying. I'm 75% sure the data that says he has even 36% support is fudged.
It's over. MAGA is over. #resist #epsteinfiles
