“Every country is calling us. That’s the beauty of what we do,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One Thursday night. “We put ourselves in the driver’s seat. If we would have asked these countries to do us a favor, they would have said no. Now they will do anything for us.”
Extorter-in-chief. “No different from a mob boss moving into town and sending his thugs to every business on Main Street, roughing up the proprietors and asking for protection money so they don’t get pushed out of business.”
While we watch world markets tank. Economic panic piling up. Government being disabled. American workers treated heartlessly in the name of efficiency. Extreme weather wreaking havoc across the country. Democracy in doubt. But no worries. Our own American Nero is hosting a golf tournament funded by the Saudis at one of his many resorts.
The administration has cut federal grants for arts and humanities across the country: museums, archives, historic sites, educational projects-all defunded.
HHS has slashed jobs and programs in the CDC while measles continues to spread, especially in Texas, and two Louisiana infants have died of whooping cough.
FEMA is implementing a hiring freeze even as flash floods and tornadoes just this week has killed at least seven people in the Midwest to the mid-South.
This is the plan, as JD Vance explained in a 2021 interview. Destroy the current government, business, educational, cultural, and scientific pillars of the US. Replace them with a new system. Either a theocracy or a technocracy TBD. Whichever faction wins that fight, it will be an authoritarian government. With power and money concentrated amongst the few.
The crusade against Maine previews what this looks like. Incompetence in SSA cancelled federal contracts, even while being told such actions would increase waste and fraud. No matter. The punishment was the thing.
Add to this billionaire Elon Musk and his DOGE. Slashing through government programs and so unpopular that his $24M support for a candidate in Tuesday’s Wisconsin SCOTUS election and bribing of voters backfired. His support makes candidates even more unpopular.
Now your president has tanked the economy. Countries around the globe are rerouting around America. Finding more trustworthy partners.
Control by sledgehammer. Trying to destroy a state in the country you lead. Trying to destroy the economies of our closest friends and allies.
While cozying up to the worst leaders on the planet.
The GOP Congress could have stopped Trump at any time. And you can reassert constitutional power to manage tariffs. Will you?
Or is the plan to keep your fingers crossed that America’s bullying extortion works? And assume there is actually a plan other than chaos? Do you believe these are the valid, coherent, well-thought out actions of someone who knows what they’re doing?
Sometimes acting crazy isn’t an act.
