Like I said an hour ago. They're already walking back Trumps bold middle east plan. All he's able to do is point out the problems-- often real problems-- but he has neithrr the technical ability or temperment to solve them. He's a hapless populist.

Paul - let's talk about things that did NOT get "walked back" at all today.
1) A plane load of deported immigrants landed at Guantanamo Bay.
2) More executive orders were placed against trans people's basic rights
3) lots of CIA staff were doxed via them getting tagged in insecure email from DOGE
And yeah of course, he could still enact tariffs and gut medicaid. But my take is that he doesn't know what he's doing. Good piece by ezra klein youtube "don't believe him".
@totalsonic.bsky.social I was not shocked when i learned his bold gaza riviera plan was not a serious idea. I wasn't surprised because i saw how he 180'd on the tariffs against Mexico and Canada. How he rescinded the EO on medicaid, food stamps, etc.
Yeah you know sometimes i fire off a post and im just blasting out some emotions. I know my comment here is not factually bullet proof. But there is a growing pile of evidence that he's just wingin' it. 47 is actually making me miss 45.
