Rick Wilson says Donald Trump’s new hair color is another sign that things are going badly for him, arguing that his usual reality-distortion tactics no longer work because the economy is hurting his own base, MAGA support has dropped sharply, and even Republican allies and donors are skipping his convention-style event. He describes a party that is increasingly divided, distracted by corruption scandals in places like Florida, and forced back onto weak culture-war attacks because its economic and political message is failing, while Trump’s attempts to cast himself as a victim or claim success are no longer convincing.
