An under covered story is how GOP politicians fear their physical safety if they defy Trump agenda. A high level MAGA person told me: “They should be afraid. They didn’t win the election. Trump did.”

Rubio has been cut out of foreign policy decisions and is not happy, sources say. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

GOP Senators and House members are scared of being murdered by Trump supporters if they don’t support Trump. This is fascism in America. My latest: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

In The Zone of Interest the Nazis talk about death camps like a business “We need to get better at treating this like a business,’’ said Lyons, who added that he wanted a deportation system that would work like Amazon Prime “but with human beings.’’ www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

My point below was DOGE isn’t about fiscal discipline. It’s about dismantling the civil service and ending the idea of apolitical expertise. Because if it were about balancing budget it would go after entitlements and defense spending. And also Trump wouldn’t be pushing massive tax cut.

At some point the politics of DOGE are gonna tilt. Trump and Musk are hollowing out the govt but not touching the real source of spending: Social Security and medicare. Young people are being deprived of a functioning govt to pay for old people’s benefits.

Trump’s Gaza takeover sends message to China and Russia: Go ahead and take Taiwan and eastern Europe. Because strong nations just do whatever the fuck they want. As Trump says in my film The Apprentice: “We’re all animals, Tony. That’s the truth of it.”

What you realize is MAGA means whatever the hell Trump wants it to mean and his base will follow it even he’s totally duped them. He campaigned on not getting entangled in nation building and now he wants US troops on the ground Gaza. Wow.

can you imagine how corrupt a sovereign wealth fund would be? trump can use taxpayer money to enrich his friends who could give him kickbacks. the grift is limitless www.cnbc.com/2025/02/03/t...
