I’m not 100% on NYT. Their roaring silence on Luigi was bothersome to say the least.

That said, I did check back in with the Ezra Klein podcast this morning. It wasn’t his usual thing, but a 12min piece entitled “Don’t Believe Him.” (You can play it or read it, it’s on most podcast listings: apple, Spotify, Castro, etc)

Basically, this blitzkrieg of executive orders is a show right up until we CHOOSE to believe in it. It’s only as effective as places like the WSJ say it’s effective, and people rolling over and playing dead in capitulation with a yeah, sure. The entire “muzzle velocity” approach is meant to scatter and demoralize opposition.

His reason for avoiding congress is if these executive orders went through Congress, he would lose. And that would make him look weak. And thus his plan of King Trump would die. Remember, this is a man who has NEVER been interested in the Constitution of The United States of America, only power.

The birthright thing has already been laughed out of court by a Reagan nominee, for starters. Because, Constitution. Now, if that judge had decided to “believe him”, it would’ve gone differently.

Think about it. He wasn’t holding court with most of Congress at Maralago, but key social media influencers: Google, Facebook, Bezos, and he already had Musk.
