The Republicans aren’t listening to anybody but Trump. They know how detrimental these cuts will be to their constituents but instead of developing a backbone, standing up to Trump, & doing what’s right—they’re too scared, too spineless, & too sold out to fight for the folks they represent.

The rest of the world is prepared to take advantage of our feckless, idiotic, and myopic government led by unqualified right-wing TV hosts and social media influencers as Trump ushers in a new era of American mediocrity.

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

No, Trump is not playing five dimmensional chess. He knows less about the Constitution, his job, and the operation of govt than any president in history (including William Henry Harrison who was dead after the first month)

In Canada & Australia, the most left factions were sacrificed to give the center left the ability to defeat the extreme right. Had that happened here, we wouldn’t be in this nightmare. I guess the rest of the world learned from breathtaking folly of the “uncommitted” and Stein voters.

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

I'm a broken record, but: there's no indication Trump understands what a trade deficit is or how tariffs work. The presumption is that he's just lying about both, but that only helps him slip nonsense into the discourse when the nonsense goes uncorrected. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
