Stephen Miller: President Trump believes in merit and competence and people who get things done. You look around the table people chosen for these jobs, Pam, Pete, Kash… He chooses people based on their skill, competence, ability, determination, dedication and loyalty, and you are seeing the results.

Trump: "We're in a position we haven't seen. We're respected. You know, our country now is respected all over the world. A year and half ago we were a laughingstock. The King of Saudi Arabia told me."

When did the term to describe racist rednecks officially become “patriotism” in Australia, FFS?

There’ll be bullshit written by the truckload about the One Nation “surge” in SA. But it’s only split the right wing vote. It’ll get knuckledraggers like Bernardi into the occasional upper house seat, but that’s about it. The effect is to cement Labor in government.

A friend just sent me this:👇 “Breaking news! My brother in law, a proud card carrying MAGA enthusiast, has officially declared he’s done with Trump. Feels totally betrayed. All it took was a few trips to the gas pump.” Just one story. But I do hear a few like it every day.

Will Congress really let the world economy collapse and let chaos reign because they’re afraid to stand up to a petulant 79 year old?

The US President who comes after Trump will likely have to spend nearly all his first term repairing the damage that Trump has done to America.

Here is what the Butcher of Mar-a-Lago never understood: America's strength was not just in the technological advantages of it weaponry. Its real strength was in the relationships it developed with its allies. It took Trump less than a year and a half to destroy all the goodwill America had built up for over 80 years following WWII.
