Every day it’s something. Directives are given, declarations made, another EO signed, deals struck, threats made, departments handicapped. Sometimes it’s a late-night decision, or an early-morning tweet– from the toilet, for all we know. But every day, and night, it’s something.
Something new and often outlandish, brash, impulsive, stupid, dangerous, often enough motivated by vengeance and anger, or at the insistence of a diabolical plan hatched by unelected yet influential people whose thinking is off the rails. What the hell is happening?
It’s obviously time to get a grip and come to terms with the fact that Trump and Kevin Roberts and the rest are intending to bring the nation to its knees.
I hope what AOC and Bernie are doing is heartfelt and genuine, though it’s difficult not to watch her and think she’s laying some groundwork for a 2028 run. Anyway, it would seem that public sentiment may be leaning toward dissatisfaction with Herr Trump and his minions. We’ll certainly see how this all plays out, what levels of heel digging, doubling down, and anger Trump can yet sink to.
It’s liable not to be pretty.
