Genuinely the best take on the whole theatre of nonsense that I am Watching via CNN/Fox/Social Media from my home country, 5000miles away. My very first thought when this started was "these are not serious people, they are not even pretending to try to govern at all".
Yeah, man, there's really just nothing concrete at all to any of this. Just manufacture a crisis, look tough in front of a camera--then find the next crisis. They'll do plenty of damage, but there's nothing substantive here in the slightest. It's all just theatre.
The problem is that the damage buffoons do, and that's what I honestly think the entirely policy acumen of these guys can be described as, is not easily fixable after they have left. For example, the potential threat of atomic bomb level tariffs sanctions on China should it try to take Taiwan, that's gone, completely gone. And it was all blown away because Orange man wake up, Orange man peepee small, Orange man angry, Orange man blame China
Oh yeah no, just because I think these people are childish idiots who seem to treat everything like a Fox News segment doesn't mean I don't think they won't do significant long-term damage. Idiots who make every decision around pandering to social media have the potential to do excessive damage to the country.
If there weren't real life consequences for their foolishness, this would have made for four seasons of a hit show. And American remake of "Yes Minister" if you will
No. The administration's objective is to get the American public accustomed to seeing military and paramilitary forces on their streets. It is a prerequisite for establishing a police state. And it's going well. That's fucking what.

Wow so it's not actually over?
No. But it’ll still be a pain in the ass for 3 more years
