Trump's inauguration "was a display of mastery, a sign that none will dare defy his wishes. But a leader surrounded by sycophants cannot receive the advice he needs to avoid catastrophic error,” Jonathan Chait writes:

I firmly believe this administration will never get off the ground. It is essentially a criminal enterprise made up with ego-drive, multi-millionaire/billionaire alpha personalties -- many of whom are trying to out-trump -- Trump.
If I never read a "this could be it for Trump" article ever again, it'll be too soon. What this person's entire political career suggests is that there are no carefully constructed mechanisms, no intelligently arranged systems or structural safeguards that can stand up to an amoral, unflinching ego.
#Autocratic rule is group think almost by definition. The Great Leader's ideas are Great, by definition. Analysis & discussion are not required because THE best answer is already known. Multiple viewpoints are never required. Dissent is treason.

Weren't those optimistic days? Now I see stuff and say, this might be worthy of a partial impeachment 3. Like admitting Elon knew so much about those voting machines and straight to we won.
Is this guy suggesting that the Orange Felon would listen to catastrophe-avoiding advice if there were someone around to give it yo him? Cuz I think not. Catastrophic error is coming no matter what. Doesn’t matter what anyone else does or doesn’t do.
You are trying to make deep and complex something that painfully simple… He traded competence for loyalty and his first cabinet wasn’t all that competent!
I don't think "mastery" is a word associated with this guy. He's a useful idiot who's motives and thoughts are controlled by many others. That's not mastery in the slightest.
But the catastrophe may be ours. To put such an ignorant & vengeful man in charge of the most powerful army & nuclear arsenal in the world is truly dangerous & frightening. But, must keep hope alive & must reclaim the House & Senate in the mid-terms.
He doesn’t care about catastrophic errors as he and his sycophants are inured from any of the consequences of his actions. A sociopath cares not about anyone else.
Trump doesn't recognize any such thing as a "catastrophic error" unless it costs him money, endangers him legally or will serious hurt his standing with the MAGA mob.
But he really doesn't worry about those last two anymore so only the cash concerns him.

The horror is just getting started
MAGA will be fine...
Americans like cheap things. With immigration raids taking place and tariffs set to begin on Feb 1, the stage is set for prices to skyrocket.
He always tells us, regardless of the topic 'I know more about that than anyone'.
