Trump 2.0 doesn’t have John Kelly, doesn’t have Steve Manuchin, doesn’t have any of the Jared and Ivanka faction. None of those guardrails are there, just yes men.
For fucks sake, there was a meticulously crafted plan to drive right through numerous guardrails starting day one, with the express intent of driving through those guardrails. There were paragraphs devoted to fury at the guard rails existing in the first place and blaming all of the imagined woes of modern America on the guardrails.
But Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025 and it was longer than a tweet so the media dropped it.
We knew from the first Trump term that republicans would cry and/or get violent against guardrails existing. For four years there was a constant pattern of "Rumors say Trump is going to try to get around [guardrail]" and then there would be a response from the press secretary and Fox News propagandists making fun of conspiracy theories, that Trump would NEVER mess around with the guard rails. The mainstream media would fecklessly report those talking points. Then the next day, Trump would say "I'm ending that guard rail because it was made up by je... I mean woke liberal commuinsts" and then would. And then the next week, the same thing would happen with a different guard rail.
But that was four years ago so most Americans and the media ignored it.
Trump 2.0 is exactly what anyone with a brain should have known was coming.
"Geiger Capital" is the type of delusional dumbass that is running the show. Had ample fucking evidence to know it was going to be bad but for reasons passing understanding convinced himself it would definitely be good.
Judging from other wealthy idiots, "Geiger Capital" is, in short order, going to convince himself that it's actually good and besides Trump probably didn't do tarrifs anyway and also Harris would have done even worse tarrifs, and the next idiotic thing Trump is proposing isn't actually what he means. Then in 5 years when it's time to end the oligarchy, "Geiger Capital" is going to insist the economy isn't broken, we don't need to hike taxes back up on the wealthy or end the tarrifs, that's just insane, and also why didn't Democrats stop it if it was broken?
