Donald I, emperor of the world.

Not ruling out a third term on the basis that the voters love him and what he's doing. Truly deluded.

With Leavitt claiming his poll numbers are at an all-time high (or words to that effect), we're right back at Sean Spicer claiming that his first inauguration crowds were the biggest ever.

I’ve been saying that is his goal for a considerable amount of time. He’s been putting the sycophants in place. He will try.

Here's a long article on Trump's economic strategy. Unpredictability is one weapon. Threatening huge tariffs then imposing lighter ones is another. Etcetera.

That's hardly news.
Trouble is the amount of people he pisses off in the meantime.

I think it's just a scattergun extortion racket. Get everyone worried they are going to be targeted one way or another, see which ones cave or butter him up, remove the threat, re-impose, keep everyone guessing/nervous.

The risk for Trump and the US is that eventually everyone else gets so pissed off that they just make alternative arrangements that don't involve trying to second-guess an unreliable party that doesn't value trust or reliability.

The democrats pushed through millions of illegal immigrant onto social security , gave them new SS numbers, enrolled into medicaid in such a small time frame. Then when DOGE cross checked, found they were registered on the electoral database. How many illegal immigrants voted when not permitted

I'm not sure if it's a bad news as I'd like, as the far right will happily coalesce around whatever individual makes the right noises. Marine le Pen managed to slightly detoxify the le Pen brand, but I'm not sure that it's so central to the far right as Trump is to MAGA.

Always the danger of something like this is that it gives an extremist party the excuse to say that they are political targets, even when it's a clear-cut breach. Compare with Sarkozy, who is just now a rather pathetic figure, no Messiah.

No sh*t.
I think the journo had to fill column inches. I really don't honestly know what she was trying to say.

The article does.

Which we all knew a good while ago.
