Yeah a friend in Europe was asking me to explain the difference and I said last time he had some real advisors, competent people who were trying to do the job they had, and now he’s got clowns and yes-men.
“Who spoke in anonymity because he/she is a complete and utter coward, who would rather keep his/her job working for an amoral government than speaking out on record”.
I think someone(s) -- probably Miller and Vought -- are running a well-oiled fascist coup, and Trump is handed things to sign to make him feel good. And someone is whispering RU propaganda to be voiced by him.
I agree. It really seems like Trump is just a figurehead at this point. What's happening is far too complex for his current cognitive ability. He'll sign and say whatever they tell him as long as he can go golfing.
Yeah, Miller is running the anti-immigrant, anti-DEI side of things and Vought is running the "shrink government to what it was in 1901" side of things. Musk is out there looking for any government operations getting in the way of his businesses or which he can hand over to one of his businesses.
I agree. To me, it’s “The Apprentice”, but Presidential. Daily photo ops for him. Podium in the Oval. Too bad no one gave him a TV show years ago to keep him out of politics.
Not mutually exclusive! On stuff Trump doesn’t care much about, I think you’re correct. But on the stuff Trump does care about (tariffs, revenge, status), it’s his show.
I guess it is Tulsi and Vance whispering the Russian Propaganda. Trump is definitely writing the "Revenge" EOs, with the worst lawyers in the world assistance.
A perfect modern example of what Ben Franklin meant by "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." If they had a collective spine they could oust the fascists, but too many of them are, in fact willing fascists themselves so the rest go along to become passive fascists.

Some Republicans wants to leave the impression that they do not approve of Trump 2.0 but lack the courage to take a public stand.
They've been hiding behind anonymity since 2015. Watch their (in)actions instead.

That other prize he’d already retired from competition long ago.
