    People are making fun of the waffling and the apparent indecision and are missing the point. Trump isn’t flailing and trying to figure out how to actually make things work. He’s doing exactly what he intended: he’s holding the US economy for ransom and building a power base among the billionaires.

    He used the poor and ignorant to get control of the public institutions, and now he’s using that power to get control over the private institutions (for-profit companies). He’s building a carbon copy of Russia with himself in the role of Putin. He’s almost there, and it’s taken him 2 months to do it.

      What would he gain from that? Couple hundred mil for his pals? He’s already rich and his pals are too. At his age he’d be more interested in power and legacy. I think he’s legit trying to run the country but is too stupid and incapable.

    How about Tim Apple doing the same mica-freight with China that he did with India, he could make iPhone cheap again.

    How else could MAGA stay connected to the tweets if they could not afford the phone?

    They would probably start thinking for themselves, if access to the media did not tell them what to think.
