Ppl replying think this is a matter of poor/lack of planning.
It’s more likely that Trump thinks of the public as “losers and suckers” who “knew what we were signing up for” when he was elected.
In his mind if the country was dumb enough to fall for his campaign BS then we deserve the fallout.

Goddamn it. Even doing the bare minimum to help the public is anathema to Trump. Damn.

We’re all losers and suckers who “know what we signed up for” when the dumbest half of us voted for him or didn’t vote at all.

The Sunday Interview: The New MAGA History: How Trump, JD Vance, and the Right Are Redefining What It Means to Be American Podcast Episode · Straight White American Jesus · March 8 · 1h 1m

Had a great conversation with @ardenthistorian.bsky.social on the Straight White American Jesus podcast:
 
About MAGA’s assault on history, the Trumpist project to redefine national identity, and how America First at home and aggressive Western supremacism abroad are intimately connected:

Offensive.
Savita makes a top 1% of earners salary and is an utter moron.

The most commonly encountered price for diesel has jumped from $3.69/gal a week ago to... $4.99/gal today. Can't underscore what a massive jolt this is to the logistics, trucking, ag sectors.

This is the kind of bullshit language they’re going to use when he croaks

A wartime presidency defined by Trump’s unique political style
Trump has devoted time to directing the conflict with Iran — but also to attacking rivals, posting online and leaning into the political instincts that carried him to power.

Congratulations to the Bezos Post for this weeks first entry in the “how to say he’s a fascist without using the words” sweepstakes

That’s really funny 😆

🙋🏽‍♀️hello, hi

I wonder how often that actually works out

Big ideas good, buying into decades of right wing frames that taxes are bad? Bad

Reading about the fuel crisis was enough for me but cool cool cool

Oh god I can’t… imagine being this daft. Just blissfully drifting through life unawares and unable to discern the MOST obvious of EASILY discernible truths…

It must be nice until it bites you in the ass like this but then, maybe you never connect the dots so!

Truly astonishing.

Can't tell if this person is serious, lying, or just that Bank of America likes to promote incompetents

I’m seeing his constituents say it’s a ruse. Still a magat at heart.

Several people who cast a single mistaken ballot were sent to prison for years. A Georgia Republican official who voted illegally nine times? Just a $5,000 fine. Apparently “election integrity” is a lot more forgiving when the offender has the right party affiliation.

Schumer calling on Trump to tap into the strategic petroleum reserve amid spike in gas prices, saying SPR “exists for moments exactly like this.” “When wars and global crises disrupt energy markets, the United States has the ability to act, but President Trump and his administration are refusing to do so.”

This is Chuck Schumer trying to bail Trump out politically so he can continue the war in Iran, which Schumer of course supports.

❗️A US service member has died from wounds sustained in an Iranian strike in Kuwait, bringing the American death toll in the war with Iran to eight, CENTCOM announced. #US

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

Why am I NOT surprised⁉️🤨

Because they continue to vote for #republicans the party that will deny science and facts‼️

You'd think after freezing to death, and having to burn furniture for warmth.

Because of mismanagement of their grid by the #GOP

You'd think they would've learned by NOW‼️
