"This is already the Putin model: authoritarian rule that enables smash-&-grab oligarchy by those in the regime’s good favor. Trump is making it unusually explicit that in this sphere of influence, Trump-approved oligarchs will be enriched by our regional spoils.”
Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/

Trump Blurts Out Dark Truth about Venezuela Plan—and about MAGA Voters

I would not say this out loud, and I would say it to people around Trump and in DC/NY, not to the administration directly
What can Europe do to deter America from seizing Greenland?
1. Making the U.S. aware of the implications of seizing Greenland
2. Preparing a deterrent package, by threatening to:
- Suspend U.S. trade deals
- sell-off of U.S. debt holdings
- Invoke EU mutual defense clause preemptively

Anybody know if the "Marco Rubio we salute you" line was actually scripted or an ad-lib? Either way it's over the top and not something a credible journalist should say...

The oil $, the concessions, etc. He's amassing more and more extra-constitutional funds and leverage he can deploy to overturn and bypass the parchment limits on his powers
4/But with Trump's comments from yesterday you see a different picture. He is putting himself at the center of a set of private goods that he can then distribute selectively. Very similar to the deals over exemptions and investments from the tariffs.

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.
