Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.
The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely.
Do not.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

A Treasury crypto holdings would be trapped. Congress couldn'y use its monetary sovereignty to limiting crypto because the price of its own assets would collapse. A strategic crypto reserve is not a resilience strategy for the US but for crypto whales. They know this.

President Biden needs to use his "absolute immunity" granted to him by SCOTUS and order the release of Jack Smith's final report.
Trump's lawyers cited Judge Aileen Cannon’s order dismissing the indictment as the authority for her to use in stopping the release of the report. She didn't even need that much justification.
