The curse of Liz Truss brings down the MAGA movement
The former British PM was at Mar-a-Lago the night before the midterms. Coincidence? Yes, probably.
The Republican Party suffered a major loss in the midterms, and some are pointing fingers at Liz Truss, the former British prime minister who held office for only seven seconds. Truss's tenure was marked by two major events that left a lasting impact. First, she caused a financial market crash, although Truss herself claims it was the fault of "the powerful economic establishment."
Second, Truss's brief time in office coincided with the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Despite her short time in power, Truss's influence seems to be lingering, as she was seen at Mar-a-Lago the night before the U.S. midterm elections. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suggested that Truss could be sent to Moscow to discuss issues with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
If the "curse of Truss" strikes again, it could potentially end the war in Ukraine or even lead to an invasion of Finland.
