Frank has grown increasingly an

In the United States' 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump attracted two very different types of voters. The hardcore MAGA voters, many of whom had voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, were true believers who never even considered voting for a Democratic nominee. But Trump also attracted many voters who were described as "Trump-curious," some of whom voted for Democrat Joe Biden in 2020 — and they included Latinos, independents, swing voters, Generation Z, tech bros and the Manosphere. Those voters, many of them frustrated over inflation and the economy, were willing to giv

President Donald Trump's team is starting to panic. The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday that his war against Iran could turn into a long and drawn-out quagmire that economically trashes the United States and pulls down the president politically. It could ultimately be such a huge miscalculation that the rest of his administration is marred by the war for the remainder of his term. In a leaked comment to Axios, one Trump advisor said that Trump told them, "All [Iran's leaders] understand is bombs."The adv
