I would say unbelievable, but it’s completely believable.
According to Trump, January 2024--when Biden was in office—was Trump’s market.
Meanwhile, April 2025—while Trump is in office—that’s Biden’s stock market.
Some idiot is going to say this makes sense, too.

1/ I wonder if there's a complement to Mettler's _Submerged State_ thesis: the successful state thesis. In brief: American government has *in many ways* been so successful for so long that Americans have forgotten why they need it, making anti-government rhetoric more appealing.

Amidst the Signal chat war plans v. attack plans hair-splitting, I thought the Trump administration was all about "peace" and not dropping bombs on anyone.

Inside Elon Musk’s ‘Digital Coup’
Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI.

"A little disruption" is what Trump calls economic hardship for all Americans outside the 1%. "A little disruption" is code for "it's going to hurt you more than it hurts me." "A little disruption" is a warning that the folks living in the billionaire bubble are going to make your lives miserable.

Trump paid a price to persuade Maduro dictatorship to accept repatriated Venezuelan migrants. What? One guess: Trump will try to replace tariffed Canadian oil with de-sanctioned Venezuelan oil. The two products are similar, I'm told. Gulf coast refineries can substitute one for the other.
