Pure know-nothingism. No strategy, no planning, just impulses.
This is at once obvious, but an important insight.
Trump was willing to destroy the global economy bc he didn't consider his rubes to be included among the targets. (Even though he was lecturing them that their daughters could make do with just two dolls.)

As I said on MSNBC, in 1960 white evangelical christians accused JFK that he would put the Pope over our Constitution. Today we have a new Pope who supports our Constitution more than our current President. And the white christians support this anti-constitutional President and attack the Pope.

It’s a sign of something else, too: for all the brain poison they pump into our information environment, MAGA propagandists know the truth of the matter. This is consciousness of the coming deception, where they blame Biden and absolve/hail Trump.
Remarkable: Numerous Fox News figures are now openly panicking about Trump's economy, warning that it's in real trouble. It's a sign that the MAGA project is quite fragile: If voters keep turning on him here, the whole edifice could collapse.

Yes, they’re still blaming Joe Biden, but the talking heads at Fox are getting awfully nervous that President Trump might be on the verge of sending the economy into a tailspin.

I’ve been wondering about this too, and this is before the incoming deluge of FOIA litigation.
I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.
Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

Chip Roy endorses impoundment (which is illegal): "All the powers our founders gave were invested in the executive, in the president. POTUS has the ability to go forward and say, 'we're gonna spend this money the way we're supposed to under the law.' There's no requirement he spend every dollar."

yes! the idea that the executive can simply make spending decisions independent of a legislature or parliament is basically antithetical to the entire anglo-american political tradition
This is so antithetical to the English legal tradition that they killed Charles I about it, and then they couped James II

Elon Musk is the real president. Trump is a co-president meat puppet.
This message is the obvious truth, and one that literally anyone can understand. Trump is the errand boy of oligarchs. All Trump opponents should push this message 24/7.

A friend worries that in recommending our counter-attack focus on Musk, I’m inadvertently siding with Bannon. To which I respond, following Churchill: “If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons.”
