The Trump Effect: Australia Edition
Zoom out to the last election. Labor might now exceed its two-party preferred vote when it was elected (52.1%), making it the only first-term Australian government ever to do that (according to Antony Green).

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Well, as America implodes from within, it’d be a *great* time for the EU to finally do official Eurobonds. It’d likely be very attractive as a safe haven given the destruction of US hegemony & spillover to US T-bills. Bonus: Eurobonds can finance a desperately needed European security build up! 🇪🇺💶 ‼️

One of the things we learnt during Trump term one is that corruption committed openly and without shame gets less coverage because there's no opportunity for EXPOSES, SCOOPS, and EXCLUSIVES.
It's just there, gets reported, and on we go.
