Trump doesn't have a strategy. He doesn't think strategically or geopolitically.

Anything is possible with these people. Not worth trying to figure out. Better to figure out how to thwart them. Trump seems more unhinged by the minute.

Since TANF was converted to block grants, only 22% of funding goes to cash assistance to the poor. This is Welfare State 101 knowledge. But the Washington Post does not mention that because now the editorial page is a place that draws its evidence from right wing youtubers rather than researchers.

Trump just issued threats to attack Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Iran, Venezuela (again), and Greenland (which would be an attack on all of NATO).

The legal justification the WH gave us for attacking Venezuelan boats in int’l waters without Congressional approval was weak, and exposes the WH and military staff to domestic and international criminal prosecution. They have not even sought to justify strikes within Venezuela.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

I made the argument earlier that Trump's attacks on Greenland were more important than Katie Miller's obnoxious map, but that both likely reflected them parroting what Miller has been saying to them.

To take another step, senator: Rubio was asked what legal authority justified running Venezuela. He said it is in our "interest." Interest is not legal authority. Hitler had "interest" in invading countries. As Trump steps domestic terrorism up to colonial suppression, have we come to that?
Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.
