Seventy-five million people can’t be wrong? We’ll see. We’re gonna get the chance to test that theory.
The people who voted for Trump must see what he’s trying to do. His answer for taking away some of the pain at the pump or the checkout line? Tariffs. Brilliant!
He’s setting the tone for hard feelings and a digging in of heels, rather than laying any groundwork for give and take and a willingness to negotiate. He’s got an image to uphold, after all. He’s not a compromiser. He simply prefers smoke and mirrors, the image of Disrupter. So he leaves the heavy lifting to the likes of Kevin Roberts and the Heritage Foundation.
Who is anyone kidding? Trump loves America only when it’s working for him. He’s not there to do the peoples’ work. He’s in place to carry out someone else’s agenda. He’s there for the selfish satisfaction of prevailing, and avoiding jail time.
He’s clueless, and I can’t picture him having the energy to handle the demands of the job. He’s gonna have a mess on his hands, nominating the pre-approved C-List celebrities and allies and incompetents who will be thrust into roles and responsibilities they’re totally unqualified to assume. The new press secretary will have her hands full defending this insanity day after day. We’ll see how many of those he goes through this time around.
Chaos is the goal. There will be no streamlining, no efficiency, little competence, no responsiveness to the myriad needs that are, quite obviously, beside the point. This is what the MAGA millions voted for, whether they realize it or not. Seventeeth-century Christians, amateurs, and entitled brats controlling the levers of power.
And there is no mandate. How could there be a mandate when half the country refuses to embrace this act?
