Again. Donald Trump isn’t a real President. He isn’t there to direct the federal government to help people or save lives.
He’s there to disable government as an impediment to corruption, profit, and consolidated power, and to erode public faith in overseeing institutions.

If you’re covering Trump like a normal politician, if you’re analyzing his administration as a good-faith institution, if you’re looking for any semblance of actual politics-as-usual or signs of efforts for the public good, you’re failing on every level.
What Trump offers is the illusion of a president, a lazy approximation of the symbols of power and duty we’ve been taught to expect. But there’s nothing behind those illusions other than an intentional destruction of government as a means for public good.
It’s a demolition.
It’s a demolition.
People need to get familiar with the concept of post-politics, with the fact that authoritarians and hypercapitalists like Trump are looking to create managed democracies that eradicate the concept of government as serving people instead of profits.
