All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

Elsewhere

I think I saw something recently implying that this administration views naturalized citizens as potentially second-class citizens (depending, of course, on whether the Orange Fuhrer agrees with them or not) and it wouldn’t surprise me if said felon moves to have their citizenship withdrawn the same way that visas and green cards have been cancelled without cause. Unconstitutional? Sure, but watcha gonna do about it?

When asked if the Administration will comply with court orders on fired federal workers, WH Press Secretary Leavitt says the orders are unconstitutional: You cannot have a low level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the President.

The World has decided to just oppose Trump, not humor and ignore him.
No doubt the history books will see his Presidencies as the beginning of the End of the US hegemony.

Low information voters forgot to look up whether Trump was a con man or not:

What they're saying: "I don't feel like he was this aggressive last time because I don't think anyone would've voted for him if they expected to see what we're seeing now," said Shannon B., 27, of Livonia, Mich.

Sheryl M., 44, of Chesterfield, said of Trump: "He's so erratic, and it's getting to the point where I'm almost scared to watch the news. I mean, it's a little bit frightening 'cause each day is something new, so you get a little anxious."
"I mean, Canada? When have we ever had issues with Canada?" asked Phil L., 45, of Dearborn Heights. "We barely have a border. You can go in and out of the country and a lot of places, a lot of states. I think we're just barking up the wrong tree with this."
Another voter, Therese L., 55, of Commerce Township, bristled at the viral image of a crowned Trump, the president's "long live the king" comment and Trump saying, "He who saves his country doesn't violate any law. "

"He is acting like a dictator," she said.
One participant who does home remodeling, worried about tariffs raising the price of wood and causing clients to drop their remodeling plans.

Another voter, who owns a health and weight loss business, said most of her clients are in the auto industry — if they're hit it could devastate her. One said she works in the auto industry and just got furloughed because "we are not building any cars right now."
Michael L., 43, of Commerce Township, said Trump "campaigned on lowering prices and making things more affordable for working-class people. He's moving in the opposite direction." He conceded that Trump had previewed tariffs during the campaign, but said "we didn't necessarily think it would be this much, this fast."

"I was voting for him based off of the economy the first time around and I'm seeing a significant decline," said Samantha S., 31, of Birmingham.

"I was expecting him to do things to better our country and I'm not seeing that," said Katelyn D., 26, of Woodhaven.
Several of the voters said they want Congress to push back.

Malea H., 34, of Clinton Township, said she fears "that this will eventually turn into a dictatorship... if the people that we elected to be his checks and balances don't check and balance him, then what are they there for?"
They disagreed with Trump freezing out Associated Press journalists from coverage in the Oval Office and Air Force One because the independent news organization hasn't gone along with his insistence that the Gulf of Mexico should be called the Gulf of America.

"It's just so childlike," said Shannon B.
On the other hand: Only one of the 10 Trump voters-turned-critics said they'd choose Kamala Harris for president if they could do it over.

"Trump, we've gone through four years with him before — and it's just kind of just grin and bear it for another four," said Malea H., 34, of Clinton Township.
"Just because these swing voters discovered they don't like the taste of wheatgrass juice, it doesn't mean they long to swallow castor oil," said Rich Thau, president of Engagious, who moderated the focus groups.
The three voters who did approve of Trump's earliest actions say that while they may not agree with him on everything, on balance they at least feel he is getting things done.
"He said that he would get busy as soon as he got in office, and I feel like he has," said Kara B., 39, of DeWitt.

“Fed judge orders deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gangbangers to return to US after Trump invokes Alien Enemies Act”

El Salvador President Bukele posted "Oopsie…Too late " and accompanying the video:

Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

Don't know if this might be relevant later in the year across the pond?

Some similarities. No mention of gilded frame paintings and things in his office, it was more a military leader den.

Why did the elites of Germany so consistently underestimate Hitler? Possibly because they weren't actually wrong in their assessment of his competency—they just failed to realise that this wasn't enough to stand in the way of his ambition. As it would turn out, Hitler was really bad at running a government. As his own press chief Otto Dietrich later wrote in his memoir The Hitler I Knew, "In the twelve years of his rule in Germany Hitler produced the biggest confusion in government that has ever existed in a civilized state."

His government was constantly in chaos, with officials having no idea what he wanted them to do, and nobody was entirely clear who was actually in charge of what. He procrastinated wildly when asked to make difficult decisions, and would often end up relying on gut feeling, leaving even close allies in the dark about his plans. His "unreliability had those who worked with him pulling out their hair," as his confidant Ernst Hanfstaengl later wrote in his memoir Zwischen Weißem und Braunem Haus. This meant that rather than carrying out the duties of state, they spent most of their time in-fighting and back-stabbing each other in an attempt to either win his approval or avoid his attention altogether, depending on what mood he was in that day.

There's a bit of an argument among historians about whether this was a deliberate ploy on Hitler's part to get his own way, or whether he was just really, really bad at being in charge of stuff. Dietrich himself came down on the side of it being a cunning tactic to sow division and chaos—and it's undeniable that he was very effective at that. But when you look at Hitler's personal habits, it's hard to shake the feeling that it was just a natural result of putting a workshy narcissist in charge of a country.

He was obsessed with the media and celebrity, and often seems to have viewed himself through that lens. He once described himself as "the greatest actor in Europe," and wrote to a friend, "I believe my life is the greatest novel in world history." In many of his personal habits he came across as strange or even childish—he would have regular naps during the day, he would bite his fingernails at the dinner table, and he had a remarkably sweet tooth that led him to eat "prodigious amounts of cake" and "put so many lumps of sugar in his cup that there was hardly any room for the tea."

I just spent two weeks in Midwest farm country. Ate breakfast every morning in this shitty little town diner surrounded by farmers. Soybeans mostly. And dairy. When I was there under Biden, they were all cheerful and happily hating the hell out of "Joe and the Hoe." Now? Now, they're all grim and somber, scared, no idea what they're going to do. But thank Gawd for Trump, praise Jesus.

I don’t know what farmers this person is talking to, but most farmers are against how Trump is handling the economy. Trump is causing these farmers to go bankrupt.

well, frump's handling of the gummint and economy seems to be the straight way to make everybody go bankrupt, except multinationals that can retreat most of their assets out of the country and hold until he's out of office and the successors have rebuilt enough for them to come back and thrive again.
