Amateurs. No world leader takes Trump and his clown car seriously. The basic rules of power are to strike hard to set the tone and negotiate from strength. Aka carry a big stick and talk softly. politico.eu/article/marco-… Everything Trump touches dies. Self inflicted stupidity is when you hand your enemies the next move. And they don’t care. nytimes.com/2025/04/23/bus…

Trump is methodically and deliberately destroying America. Prove me wrong. bloomberg.com/news/features/… Trump has embraced the chaos theory in which those who create the chaos…profit. Much like the #1922Plan created by Tahnoon and Abu Dhabi. Investors driving confusion and being able to bet on the right side of the table.

Donny had just been in Moscow in July and here he is in Septermber. In October he would buy full page ads crapping on NATO. Dude's a slumlord from Queens why did he care? 1975: Donny and his dad worked hard to keep colored people out of their buildings. Now he wants to evict the Palestinians from their homes in Gaza. He and Jared see the potential for that ocean front property. Who created the monster known as Trump? Image

So the good news. Trump never had a plan to help Ukraine. Not one bullet. Not one bandage. Not one dollar. Putin said nothing about peace. Not one inch of land. Not one promise or suggestion. Zelensky was asked to be part of a charade. But Donny played his hand too soon. #ETTD Image The charade was an empty promise with the assumption that America would take part in exploiting Ukraine's resources based on 30 - 60-year Soviet guestimates. There is no accurate estimate of Ukraine's resources. American mining companies don't fight wars or even get insurance.

Donald Trump is obsessed about finding and destroying evidence in the U.S. intel and legal system that links him and his family to financial, criminal and espionage crimes. That evidence resides safely in the hands of European and Gulf intelligence agencies. Keep shredding. Image It's worth remembering that the UK first alerted our intel agencies about Donny's Russian links. Jared's secret slush funds from MBS beginning in 2017 were also hacked via his iPhone 7. It's why Donny has been going ape shit on the CIA and FBI since then. theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/a…

Donald Trump is in the business of laundering money. Initially his father's money, then Russian/Israeli gangsters, then mob casinos then offshore hotels, then political grifts.

Understanding Hitler is the key to understanding Trump 2.0. We are in the propaganda and division stage. Leaning into the outrage. Hitler blamed the Jew. Trump blames DEI.

My thoughts for today; Let Donny roll. Incompetence at speed and scale is historically a healthy thing in the long run. Successful managers respect reality, inertia, logistics, limitations etc. Stupid people think bluster and bullshit trump homeostasis. That leads to... ...an inflection or pivot point. Stability is an enemy to change. Good and bad. Instability is an ideal landscape for change. Pro or con. Let Trump paralyze, terrorize and metastasize the government because it will draw forth change agents to battle his chaos agents.

Tip: Trump is embracing the Broligarch mantra of "disruption" as in, "move fast and break things." I call it "Smash, Grab and Run" because there are three endstates: 1) Payoffs for corrupt donors, 2) Legacy reshaping and 3) Protection of Trump familial wealth. Image Trump operates on three levels: 1) rapidly spewing outrage jibberish to keep the media chasing his laser pointer, 2) Echoing donor jingoism to pay bills, and 3) discussing deeply corrupt deals while abusing his office of President.

For those following the fires in California. Fire is a natural part of life here. Santana or devil winds are normal. Wood frame mansions on the edge of brush are common. November 6, 1961 was a similar event. Doesn't minimize the shock or sense of loss. lafire.com/famous_fires/1… This time we had the jet stream pushed too high. 30 degree variance between day and night. No rain so far (starts in mid-December). Winds out of season. Usually 3 days of hot dry winds from the desert in Sept/Nov. We had a lot of brush grow after two years of great rainfall. Image

Jamie Raskin takes 72 pages to explain exactly what political weaponization looks like.

Billionaire Peter Thiel starts laying out his plan to destroy social security at around 6 minutes. Keep in mind that people pay into SS throughout their career. At age 70, the maximum benefit is $4,873 per month. Thiel equates Silicon Valley is to Wokeism as Saudi oil is to Wahhabism. He can't decide which country or state he wants to move to to get zero tax. The man is worth $14 billion. Instead of worrying about how to skint the system, he wants to destroy it. niskanencenter.org/peter-thiels-p…

Pete "Puddin" It in" Hegseth appeals to our sympathies but he should be feeling the leading edge of a growing insurgency in America. He was in Iraq. He should know how it goes. Those of us who have spent time in Iraq can feel it. The initial attacks are usually designed to cause missteps in reactions, later ones to deal significant blows. Trump already has an armed circus complete with anti drone tech. Will it get worse come January? Image
