Lesson 1: Breaking the law and building things are different skills
Look at Dunkelman’s strongest examples, the top of the batting order for how Trump is "freeing the stuck wheels of bureaucracy."
They are, without exception, evidence of an incompetent and corrupt govt doing unpopular things.

In my newspaper column, I wrote about the crazy late-night screed from Donald Trump. @pbump.com said it needs to be read out loud to understand just how bonkers it is. So we had an AI voice read it. And now think what you'd do if your grandpa did this.

The American people can see the incompetence. They hear the lies. More every day see the Emperor has no clothes. The man behind the curtain is an addled fraud and incompetent dipshit who cares only about himself. Do they want to go down with him? We will see.

Maybe, just maybe, some Republican elected officials around the country are getting tired of being threatened by a nearly 80 year old corrupt mob boss with a 36% approval rating who is increasingly unhinged and might actually start to grow spines. One can always hope.

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.
