Trump’s Branding Obsession: Polling Shows Even His Voters Aren’t Buying It

February 21, 2026

Trump’s second‑term push to rename landmarks, erect monuments, and stamp his name onto federal institutions is running into a wall of public rejection. Polling shows Americans oppose every major renaming or construction project — and in most cases, so do Trump’s own voters.

Progressive Capture: Why the Democratic Party Cannot Find the Center

February 21, 2026

The Democratic Party’s post‑2024 identity crisis is not a messaging problem. It’s an infrastructure problem.

This analysis examines Iran’s precarious position as it faces the convergence of historic domestic unrest and intensified external military pressure.
