What we can learn from new reporting on how the Trumpists have been contemplating despotism, the fault lines within the regime, and the prospects for a post-Trump MAGA
My guess, Trump figured he could fleece the country, erect monuments to himself, and stay out of jail without starting a civil war, which would be a lot of work. No brainer for him.
Israel planned to assassinate the Iranians at the signing in Swirzerland. China caught a leak. So Vance cancelled the signing. Perhaps the American normals need to stand up to the whole lot of them...and do what needs to be done.
I remember Grover Norquist’s ambition being “government small enough to drown in a bathtub” headed by an executive with “just enough intelligence to sign his name.” Nobody seems to interview him any more. I wish someone would ask him, on camera, how that’s working out for him.

And Vance will do whatever Peter Thiel tells him.
