PEUject 2025 in Play


The world now knows that Trump II, the digital Caligula lied about not being aware of Project 2025.  His barrage of executive orders clearly came from that body of political preparation.  

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” The Art of War by Sun Tzu
Project 2025's author will head Trump II's Office of Management & Budget.  That office

directed all federal agencies to freeze “all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all federal financial assistance” to the “extent admissible by applicable law.”
StateScoop reported:

The memo’s vagueness continues a trend of uncertainty for states and local governments ever since President Donald Trump’s administration.
Trump loves chaos, the taste and exercise of power, however mendacious and arbitrary.

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” The Art of War by Sun Tzu

While many feel thunderstruck, that is Trump's aim.  His political flash bangs conceal what?  

My challenge is to clear my head enough to monitor how the Red political team is steering Uncle Sam's wallet and dismantling any regulatory apparatus to assist friends and donors.

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”  The Art of War by Sun Tzu

My wise friend wrote:

By deregulating and removing all oversight Trump will create enough chaos to thieve at will. Either way, they will call it in the interest of national security. 
Right now, the VC and PE gang are a little upset with Deep Seek bursting their AI bubble. No bubble, no grift. Mega mansions come with mega bills 
I am sure the giveaways will be endless in the next four years.
PEU Legends and TechGods will be well served under Trump II.  The rest of us?  Not so much.

Update 1-29-25:  The Trump team rescinded the OMB order but not the freeze.
