    No! But he distanced himself from that very unpopular, pre-built project that gives all his friends everything they want and outlines exactly how to do it really quickly and it was exactly everything he wanted. Why would he decide to implement that? I’m shocked. Flabbergasted. Gobsmacked.

      Have you seen any of the videos of him signing executive orders? He literally doesn’t have a goddamn clue. He’s just rubber stamping everything they put in front of his face.

        There’s a rumor that he doesn’t know how to read. He occasionally pantomimes reading, but he doesn’t actually do it. You’ll remember he made a big deal out of teleprompters and reading from scripts in the past. That’s a great way to flip his disability into strong-man rhetoric, isn’t it?

        Exactly. I’ve been saying it since 2016. Trump is just the face of the global corporate plutocracy seizing the means of democracy. Numerous corporations and oligarchs worked together to create the pseudo-libertarian conservative propaganda machine decades ago, and they are now leading this fascist revolution.

        Fascism is a fusion of the corporation and the state, and multinationals look at Chinas state capitalist monopolies with envy. That’s why every single one led them are bending the knee instantly. This is what they’ve been working towards for years. A democratic “will of the people” is the greatest threat to their wealth and power, and nation states are only thing with enough power to hold them accountable.

      I think about this all the time when it comes to Trump’s social media posts (which seem to be the majority of his communication).

      Trump ain’t writing those. Those are carefully crafted to sound like stupid and ignorant Trump, but they’re obviously not him as his social media posts are clearer and more nefarious.

      Like I think Trump is an evil bastard and terrible in countless ways, but I genuinely don’t think he knows what is going on and is himself just a Stooge of something bigger. I really don’t think he’s behind almost any of his social media posts these days.

    A Bloomberg Government analysis found that dozens of executive actions rolled out by the new administration this week mirror recommendations in the sweeping plan. In all, more than 30 out of Trump’s 47 initial executive actions as of Thursday afternoon match or partially align with ideas promoted in Project 2025, the analysis found.

        And with your comment… You remember that freeze frame where Ralph’s heart breaks when Lisa rejects his cha cha cha choose you card? Same for my spirit here

      I mean, he wasn’t wrong here, but I don’t think fucking Matt Walsh knew more than any random person. He just wants to stir up shit to get attention.

      They really are shocked though.

      The media continuously took his lies at face value and faithfully republished them while everyone with a bit of fucking sense saw them for what they were.

    Trump lying? Really? Who’d have thought such a thing could happen, after only 30,000 previous lies while in office?
