I think Russia is now the model, not the adversary.

Didn't he say on April 2nd each country will 'get a number' of what the tariffs will be? Big reveal = big ratings, reality TV style. Unserious people.

Turning the White House into a Tesla showroom and having the commerce secretary pump Tesla stock was something else but funny compared to the other stuff, but there's probably nobody left in the regulatory bodies to do anything about it. If they are still there they have seen what happens if you don't obey the orange overlord. Deregulation is a beautiful thing and definitely works in favour of the small guy!

The war group chat is also funny but less funny because records of these conversations are supposed to be kept for two years, not on a self deleting app. Also sending group chats when one of the participants is physically in the Kremlin is probably not a good idea. Strikes on the Houthis for the foreseeable future is probably somehow different from when Biden did it (Democrats never seen a war they didn't like!) but I'm not sure how.

Sending Venezuelan immigrants to a Guantanemo style prison in El Salvador without a trial based on the fact 'they had tattoos' is worrying, but I'm sure that's different too (thanks Obama!). Ignoring judges who ruled against it and asking for them to be impeached - well you don't have to read too many history books to see that's how bad things start.
