Donald Trump has two years left in the White House and, as of this week, no majorities to spend them with.
Aaron Parnas thinks he’s about to lose his party too.
The 27-year-old attorney, journalist and political influencer says Republicans are turning on the 80-year-old president after Democrats swept the midterm elections on 3 November.
He isn’t softening it.
“All blame is on one man, Donald Trump,” Parnas said, as reported by Creatorzine.
“Republicans are furious at their President.”
A ‘somber’ mood in the West Wing
Parnas, from Boca Raton, Florida, describes a White House that has gone very quiet.
“It is a very somber mood at the White House,” he said.
“The president with two years left no longer has any majorities in Congress, no longer has any legislative power.
“Is about to face increasing and mounting investigations and even the possibility of impeachment.”
Iran and the blue wave
The so-called blue wave rolled across the country on election night, and Parnas reads it as a flat rejection of Trump’s agenda.
Most explanations for the scale of the losses point to public anger over the ongoing war with Iran.
Parnas has a shorter version.
“He made his bed, and now he’s got to live in it.”
Subpoenas, probes and the BBC
With Democrats about to hold the gavels, Parnas expects the pressure to land on the Trump family directly.
“His children are about to be under subpoena,” he said.
“His companies are about to be probed.
“The BBC isn’t the only thing he’s going to be worrying about anymore.”
That last jab refers to Trump’s ongoing row with the British broadcaster.
The Republicans who stopped staying quiet
The real shift, according to Parnas, is happening inside the party.
“The biggest shift, Republicans and Congress, who have been quiet before, are no longer going to be quiet,” he said.
“They are willing to start speaking out more and what many are saying is it’s effectively the end of the Trump Presidency as we know it.
“Many are now privately saying that in the next two years, they are willing to break from the president.”
He didn’t name any of them.
Private conversations tend to work that way.
“Republicans are facing an internal and external crisis, an extinction moment,” he added.
Why It Matters
Editorial analysis. Parnas isn’t a pundit with a network contract.
He’s a creator, and a large share of his audience gets its politics from a phone screen in under a minute.
When a story this size breaks, creators like him can reach millions before the Sunday shows have booked a single guest.
That gives real weight to how they handle claims nobody can check yet, like unnamed Republicans plotting a break.
Both US parties now court political influencers almost as seriously as they court newspapers, and election nights increasingly play out on TikTok first.
The new Congress sits in January. Parnas has already called it: “The end of the Trump Presidency begins today.”
Whether the Republicans he describes say any of it out loud is another matter.
