I’ve been saying that I felt Trump’s dramatic escalation in recent days was driven in part by Musk’s emasculation of him last week. I also wonder whether it’s being driven by Zelensky’s profound humiliation of Putin, and Putin lashing out at Trump for not delivering Ukraine to him.

I think a big part of this is also him just going along with Stephen Miller, who is more unhinged than usual after his wife left him for Elon Musk.

This is basically the Authoritarian playbook; Time to attack the people. I just think that this administration is screwing this up like they screw up everything else. That's something at least we have going for us - they are all massive idiots that can't even do this right.

When Russia attacks America’s ally, Ukraine, Donald Trump makes excuses and refuses to confront the Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin. Trump does exactly what Putin wants him to do. Why? Is Trump trapped by Kompromat or does he admire Russia’s dictatorship more than America’s Constitutional Republic?

I’ve also been saying something similar to the first part. He needs to prove he’s in control. I hadn’t considered the second though. Seems likely given he’s a narcissist.

I don't get this concept he's reacting to things here. This just looks like what the traitor's been frothing at the mouth to do since like the 80s, and now he has no one to stop him. He's getting very little resistance so why not just hit fast forward on the fascist takeover. Looks very project 2025

All the above, got a bunch of ego driven sociopaths who managed to trick other sociopaths into thinking they were going to make changes happen. Sociopaths and narcissists DO NOT change or like being proven wrong. Their egos have all been bruised so they are punishing vulnerable people whenever can.
