maybe he’s not listening to anyone or the people advising him

You think Trump still has people advising him that aren't just yes men?

Do you think Trump can write a sentence about what he did at work today with a correct noun and verb? He has a team of very smart and very angry people writing these Executive Orders. He’s definitely not working OT hours planning.

The game is to overturn existing precedent now that they have Congress (that will do nothing) and then get it overturned by their Supreme Court.

The right has been seething about reasonable people telling Nixon no and enacting the Impoundment Control Act in 74 so now we see Trump stopping funding to everything. It’s clear this is yet another long game meant to consolidate power. You think Trump can think past whenever his next golf poop is to play long games?

Yes, he absolutely has people pulling his strings. Question is only do they do it outright and he parrots as long as he can grift or are they planting seeds and watering with praise letting him think it’s his idea.

He is listening to the likes of the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society.

I see it more as, there is someone within his circle, or a foreign power that benefits from this move and has offered him a chunk of the rewards in return. This man never does anything without the intent of attempting to grift.

He can’t be both solo successful and dumb. Previous one was both senior and a criminal mastermind too? They can’t be both

Trump has never been successful at anything but real estate (which literally anyone could be) and talking shit

He just grifted several billion dollars, his stocks AND meme coins. He makes money selling Chinese shoes and trading cards. Even outside of real estate. He is financially successful. I dunno his bills etc. he knows how to make himself money. It is the greed
