Musk lost $80 billion today because of his little hissy fit with Trump. But Musk is personally threatening Trump with exposure to scandal and withdrawal of support, implicit third-party challenge to GOP. Truly, a Battle of Monsters. We Are Entertained.

I think the ultimate disposition of Trump/MAGA will not occur until 1/20/28. Unless he’s impeached & convicted. Think how bad it has to get to achieve that. Need 67 Senators. Midterms are key. Factors: Economy; Civil unrest/insurrection act insanity; blustering USA into military conflict; pandemic.

Constitutional scholars: Who has federal court standing to challenge corrupt pardons? Develop the arguments because the Mob Boss-in-Chief is simply going to continue to issue federal pardons every day to whoever pays or flatters him, while punishing every institution and individual who doesn’t.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Trump says the planes “go to the U.S. Air Force.“ Thus, NOT rank bribery/extortion in plain sight. But he thinks-acts like Air Force is his. Personally. Same w/tariffs madness. He knows U.S. is biggest market in world. Thinks it’s his. “I set the rates.” = Mob Boss Mentality. = Criminally insane.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Plainly lying about the factual basis of an extraordinarily outlier immigration decision that indisputably demonstrates preferential treatment of racist white South Africans, without a scintilla of pushback from major media outlets is, in the parlance of Trumplandia, otherwise known as Monday.
