Trump says a lot of things that he doesn't follow through on. We know Trump will do something idiotic, but exactly which idiotic thing is impossible to predict. Trump doesn't know what he'll do. We are governed by a Random Number Generator with all the options bad.

This type of mass insanity has been a part of the human condition since time immemorial. Trump is the modern day equivalent of Henricus Institor and social media is the modern day vehicle for Malleus Maleficarum type thinking.

And it’s not just Trump promising to do stupid things either— Musk and his minions have been taking a wrecking ball to the U.S. govt and the economy all week long, and now it’s clear they are prepared to be as lawless as necessary in their quest to destroy the U.S. government.

The stock market is his scoreboard, and at heart he’s a coward

I’m watching the closing bell coming up and it’s tanking!

Most likely outcome: Canada or Mexico gives him a crumb and he spins it as a great victory. Tariffs off.
But this nonsense will only work so many times
