Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

We are the midst of a war on knowledge, facts and free speech. It is not just aimed at DEI or Trump enemies. It is intended to clear the way to authoritarianism. It is broader and more dangerous than any such effort in our history. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

The concept of a plan is ignoring all the fundamental lessons of modern economics? The concept of a plan is economic catastrophe for most of us while billionaires get richer, get huge tax cuts, loot the government for their own benefit?
Not such a great concept of a plan if you ask me.

So, wait, the plan is for Trump to crash the markets, destroy people's savings, push up prices with tariffs, crush economic growth, and then gut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security? While firing tens of thousands of federal workers? The concept of a plan is a depression?

We are sending troops and arms to fight an imaginary war against a non-existent foe at our southern border, systematically undermining our allies and at the same time embracing those bent on our destruction. It is perverse but it is no accident. It is a combination of ignorance, malice & greed.

Every single American I talked to yesterday about this came to that same conclusion.
The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...
Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States

By now you probably understand/agree that Trump is compromised by Pro-Kremlin views, and this sourced-and-cited report from Seth covers that. Yet, there are a few surprises and twists in that narrative. Mostly Freudian.
Key point is 2025 Trump is same as 1987 Trump, and he'll never change.

As to Donald Trump’s foreign policy, this is it. This is the shibboleth. If you understand where the Trump Doctrine comes from, you understand exactly what is happening right now and why.
Every American should read this, and so should every European diplomat. From a bestselling Trump biographer:
Every American should read this, and so should every European diplomat. From a bestselling Trump biographer:
The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year
How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
