Trump II enforcer Bill Pulte will head U.S. intelligence despite having no background or experience in the field. In addition he will gut the agency from a position of leadership ignorance.
The public witnessed something similar under Elon Musk and DOGE, which applied the "takeover model" of jettisoning federal staff in favor of incapable technology. TechGods call it "disruption" while private equity underrwriters (PEU) refer to it as their new "operating model." Both are designed to funnel huge sums to founders and executives.
Trump II has added a blatantly political dimension to any downsizing with his demand that all staff be 100% in support and alignment with him or be rooted out.
I have written my congressperson numerous times on the severe damage being done to important government operations by Trump II, a nightmarish executive who manages by savage whim. I received a series of replies indicating that their relationship with Trump II benefits everyone, which of course is complete bladerdash.
Trump II decides on one criteria, whatever he believes maximizes his image/pocketbook in each and every present moment. So he lies and he fibs and he flip-flops, attacking when any of these are questioned. Trump can attack anyone, anywhere and anytime. The thought just needs to enter his mind.
And that's where the cascade of White House creeps come in. They know offense is the best defense so the game is to pin Trump's rage on the other.
It is in Trump's nature to destroy that which is good, to hurt as many people as possible with callous acts and to fatten his pocketbook at the same time. Thus we now have Trump designed Trump coins for America 250.
