Opinion | Trump and Stupidity
I define stupidity as ignoring the question: What would happen next? By that definition, the Trump administration has produced volleys of it.

Trump isn’t providing leadership—he’s creating chaos. At a time when we need unity, compassion, and forward-thinking solutions, we are being dragged backward into fear, division, and extremism. Who benefits? Always those who want to maintain their power and positions. Is this what we want or need?

Imagine being a cop, beaten with a flag pole with the American flag still on it, and the person doing the beating was found guilty but now pardoned. All those who voted for Trump ok with that?

From NYT, David Brooks, “We Deserve Pete Hegseth”

“We live in a soap opera country. We live in a social media/cable TV country. In our culture you don’t want to focus on boring policy questions; you want to engage in the kind of endless culture war that gets voters riled up.
Rings too true to me….
