© BOCHKOV: GRANDPA TRUMP — THE END OF THE MYTH
Remember this date: June 17, 2026.
Today, Trump ended.
No, Trump did not die. Unfortunately, no. He did not collapse lifeless onto a red carpet. He did not vanish inside the golden elevator of his own tower. What happened is far worse for a politician: today, the myth died.
For ten years, Trump has been selling America the same product: strength, confidence, and VICTORY.
"YOU'LL GET TIRED OF WINNING!" he shouted at every rally.
He promised to be the man who always wins. The man who knows the secret door out of every problem. The man who could end a war with one phone call, revive the economy with a second, and make the entire world applaud with a third.
BUT REALITY DESTROYS EVERY MYTH — IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
Today, at the G7 summit, even America's most cautious allies are no longer talking about U.S. leadership. Instead, they are discussing how to survive the next shift in the White House's mood.
Trump is simultaneously trying to justify a deal with Iran, reassure Israel, please his isolationist supporters, and keep the hawks within his own camp satisfied. The result: everyone is unhappy. Even parts of the MAGA movement are openly accusing him of betraying his own principles.
At home, the situation is even worse.
Support in rural America—the very foundation upon which his political fortress was built—has noticeably weakened. People are no longer looking at slogans. They are looking at grocery prices and gas station receipts.
And numbers are far more stubborn than television shows.
The most frightening thing for Trump is not declining poll numbers.
The most frightening thing is the disappearance of fear.
People are no longer convinced that he can change everything with a single gesture. They no longer see him as a magician.
And a politician without magic is just an elderly man carrying a very long list of promises.
Trump remains president. He still has the planes, the security detail, millions of supporters, and an endless stream of social media posts.
But today, one thing became clear:
The era of the man who always wins is over.
