Trump II, the digital Caligula, is the decision maker and any interview with his Cabinet members shows it. They have more knowledge about their boss' thinking but they know the President's mind is like a roulette wheel, one where the little ball sometimes leaves the playing field. I've yet to hear one predict where the Donald decision making ball will land.
Thus the line forms early wherever the decisive Donarch is officing (White House, home, other home, golf course, other golf course, Sistine Chapel). There are far too many appellants and Donald needs his TV and fortune counting time. Even Moses couldn't handle the sole decision maker burden and sought the assistance of seventy elders.
Add that Trump II is also running the economy, doing 200 trade sub-deals. Corporate CEOs jockey for position in the daily appellant line. The Donarch's time is the new currency and those who manage his schedule gain considerable power. Donald's decision making process relies on the savage whim. One never knows which way he'll break.
Below the President are a line of toadies, enforcers and sycophants ready to amplify the Donarch's sentiments. A Trump thumb's up gets one a pat on the back and a round of celebratory cheers, while an expletive-filled thumb's down is accompanied by righteous mocking and howler monkey style poop tossing. In between there is some hot young lady leering, maybe a body part grab or two.
Managing the country like a shady family business is not possible if one wants a vibrant, functional, safe and crime free nation and economy.
Round and round it goes, where it lands, nobody knows...
Update: Trump said in an interview:
"I run the country and the world."
And that's the problem with Pablum. His savage whims are incapable of running a country, much less the world. They can however, cause great harm.
Update 5-4-25: Does the guy not listen to himself?
“I’m not profiting from anything. All I’m doing is, I started this long before the election. I want crypto. I think crypto’s important because if we don’t do it, China’s going to. And it’s new, it’s very popular, it’s very hot,” Trump said, adding that he hasn't even “even looked” at how much he’s made from the venture."Not profiting" vs. "how much he's made" from his many ventures. Pure Pablum...
