The things Trump is doing make perfect sense if you ignore the traditions of the American presidency and understand that Trump is a wannabe authoritarian.

It's what he & others thinks being a president is, and that it's the same power his predecessors had. He's not a politician per se. It's a very simplistic view, and he's taking a very simplistic approach to implementing his agenda & solving problems. That is, a bulldozer.
though Elon and Trump ARE following Yarvins wet dream, none of them seem to understand "Americans don't like to be fcked with" eventually even the gullible ones figure it out, but only after a lot of blood. That Trump has right.
I keep hearing commentators like Ezra Klein say we’ll know we are in a crisis if this administration ignores court rulings. So my question is: are we there yet?Would love to hear a Bulwark episode really grapple with this.
Trump wants to rule, not govern.
Many Americans don’t see what the government does to keep our drinking water clean, our planes safely in the air, etc…
Thus this seems hunky dory to the dopes.
Real question, 🙋♀️ How do we STOP it rather than just digest it?
I know this is nothing in the scheme of things but getting rid of the board at the Kennedy center and naming himself chairman? Is he going to let no talent Lara Trump perform? The man has zero taste and cares not at all about art.
Stop sugar coating what he's doing...it's not ignoring "traditions" what he's actually doing is ignoring the LAW. Call it what it is. Ghe softening of language is the problem
Musk has reposted a post on Xitter that suggests he intends to ignore the orders of the Courts on the basis that the Courts are corrupt or incompetent.
If we wanted a dictator we could find one a hell of a lot smarter, less racist, less guilty of scores of crimes, not a sexual predator, and not a figure of ridicule around the world. But we do not want a dictator, kind of the reason we broke from England at the formation of America.
Feels like the administration needs to be analyzed in three overlapping categories. Trump and what he wants; musk and what he wants; and Vance and what he wants. An amoral narcissist, a greedy Nazi, and an opportunistic Christian nationalist walk into a bar.
Musk intends to pinpoint "weak spots," and build AI, crypto, and Starlink-based infrastructure for when Trump and Project 2025 breaks them. As trust in state governance crumbles with Trump's help, his infrastructure is presented as the default option replacing traditional governance.
A bunch of (now wealthy) apartheid era S. Africans who emigrated to the US are shaping and in some cases, taking over US politics. The white nationalists are on board, the white Christians are on board, the illiterate MAGA voters are on board, GOP are on board. If you don't stop them now, it's over.
