I found this focus group article on 13 independents that voted for Trump very interesting and a bit scary (from an European point of view). Greenland and Canada are distractions and confusing. Musk and Kennedy are OK.

Timothy Snyder’s read of Trump is legendary:
”Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference.”
Nobody outside USA thinks Trump is strong. We laugh at him. And fear for the world, including USA.

Wow. Last month wasn't just a usual hottest January on record. Despite cool La Niña conditions, it was *even hotter* than last years record-breaking El Niño January!

President Trump, while issuing a rapid-fire series of executive orders and directives since taking office, has rationalized his initiatives with a series of false and misleading claims.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Trade wars with Canada, Mexico & China and with the EU still to come are a rare opportunity to quote Babylon 5 on a geo-economic issue.

Smile and be happy they said, it could have been worse. I smiled and I got worse.
Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.
3/ different pieces fit together. There also seems to be a significant amount of downloading government data onto private servers, etc, totally outside any cybersecurity regime. Additionally it’s unclear to the people inside whether the people doing these things actually work for the US govt…
