Trump is acting in a rather erratic, and some would say bizarre, manner. I don't think this is as much of a departure from his past performance as some of his apologists may offer.It's important to remember how strongly his priorities are centered around what he most wants at the moment.He is intellectually lazy to a fault, and intolerant of any information that does not suit his preconceived notions which are remarkably uninformed. He makes things up as naturally as the average person breathes, and his sycophants imitate him.His respect for the Constitution and the rule of law is almost nil. And he appeals to others with the same sort of limited perspective.A recipe for disaster to be sure. And that's what makes it significant for us as investors. Ignore it if you wish, but at some point Cloud Cuckoo-land is going to come crashing down with severe real world consequences for the people are just trying to get by and make a living.But a significant portion of the American public is caught up in their rebellious fit, and seems determined to bring a wreckage of devices to fruition. This is what motivates a defiance of a reality they reject, preferring to substitute their own.There is plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle. Make no mistake. But the impulse to reform is being strangled in a fog of engineered distractions and adversarial deceits.For a 250 year old, America has been acting like a petulant brat, for some time.
Trump II's series of wingman have risen to his defense war making. Elon Musk was Doink, George Santos is Yank and Scott Bessent is Prinx to Trump's Pablum.
Bessent's citing Obama's golfing as problematic is Trump level projection/deflection at its purest nonsense. Trump's henchmen could write for the late night comedians. Their material is that laughable.
The British monarchy took concrete steps to deal with their Epstein problem while Trump II attempts to bury Epstein evidence in concrete.
Maybe that's the reason for demolishing the East Wing. They needed more square footage to dump all those files and videos. Look for Trump II to have a hard hat on supervising the pour. That's the only pour he cares about.
