Trump administration 2024-2028

Also, disband the Democratic party entirely. See, I can think that deeply, too.

One could make the case that the DNC was even more out of touch with America than those that argue the same about MAGA.

WTF were they thinking keeping Biden on the 2024 ticket to start?!? And then when that thundered in, that they doubled down with Harris instead of letting Newsom or Buttigieg be considered…un******* believable.
 
Funny that anybody believe Trump thinks deeply about geopolitics. His focus is on stuff like this.


I urge everyone to listen to the podcast. Part of the reason they are f'd is because conspiracy theorist Laura Looker got their top China expert (David Fife) fired. When loyalty (according to conspiracies) and optics matter more than competence the bench won't be deep. And it's showing.

I take it on principle that it is poor form to underestimate anybody.

And that won't happen. Trump was 4 years removed from office and he won because things costed more.

Or he won because the alternative was at first someone clearly not up to the job, and at second someone clearly not up to the job.

People want to create reasons to blame, fine; but don't evade the central fact that it was a choice with only two options.

Trump has consistently chickened out against Xi and Putin. He can't seem to fathom the US is more powerful. He defaults to being a puppy around them.

Mayhap. Has he started any wars yet?

Well, that certainly doesn't sound ominous at all.

Nice to see the courts still have some kind of influence...

Trump says he's removing National Guard troops from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland​

The development comes after the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's request to deploy National Guard troops in Illinois.


The Supreme Court last week declined an emergency request from the Trump administration that said the troops were necessary to protect federal agents working in Chicago to enforce immigration policies.

In an unsigned order, the court rejected the administration's claim that circumstances on the ground in Illinois met the criteria for the president to invoke a federal law allowing him to call up the National Guard to federal service.

“At this preliminary stage, the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the court ruled.

The decision involved only Chicago, but it was likely to strengthen other challenges to National Guard deployments. It does not affect the District of Columbia, where troops have also been deployed, as it is a federal district, not a state.

A spokesperson for California Gov. Gavin Newsom — a Democrat — said in an email Wednesday: "We won in court and forced him to. Trump’s rambling here is the political version of 'you can’t fire me, I quit.'"

Was he air dropping presents in Venezuelan waters, Nigeria and Iran?

Also, this is a nonsense metric made up by his supporters and sympathizers. The test is restraint when difficult (say after 9/11). Not when easy. He's failed spectacularly. And worse. His caving and using expensive munitions on inconsequential non-strategic targets is making war elsewhere more likely.

I would say "failed spectacularly" but he may have failed spectrally too. ;)
