The Waning Political Power


The sense that some of Trump's power is waning goes beyond the Iran deadlock. He has seen the limits of his political appeal after deploying his political movement to support Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. That effort failed on Sunday as voters rejected the dictator and derailed Trump's project to turn Europe into "MAGA."

Just like his counterparts in Hungary, some of Trump's domestic policies have provoked backlash. Public opinion forced him to back away from the mass deportation program after the killing of two Americans by federal agents in Minnesota earlier this year. Trump's failure to largely use the law to punish his political enemies—helping trigger the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi—shows that at least some constitutional guardrails still contain him.

Even Pope Leo XIV, an American citizen who has angered the president with his vocal opposition to the war in Iran, also commented on Monday.

"I'm not afraid of the Trump administration," said Pope Leo XIV.
