In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.
From Alpha To Beta: Trump's "Strong Leader" Persona Is Crumbling

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.
What an unbelievable asshole.

We can't afford cancer care for veterans, school lunches for kids or Meals on Wheels for seniors because Trump is spending:

People used to make so much fun of me when I pointed out that the dirtbag "left" had constructed a neat pipeline to the far right, because WHY would they do that?
And the simple answer has always been, money.
Just look at the Red Scare hosts becoming besties with Peter Thiel.

to this point, why do people think the “antiwoke” backlash is so prominent among elite opinion journalists? could it have something to do with the distribution of reward and prestige since about 2019 or so?
Really don’t think people understand how much of this backlash is fueled by professors jealous of other academics for getting funding, attention, etc ditto with writers looking for fame, assignments, etc. they didn’t think they were advancing racism per se they just wanted to take down their “rival”

Under Trump, EPA scientists say they were pressured to make the new chemicals they were vetting seem safer than they really were. They were encouraged to delete evidence of harms, including cancer, from their reports. Sometimes, they say, managers deleted the info themselves.

EPA Scientists Said They Were Pressured to Downplay Harms From Chemicals. A Watchdog Found They Were Retaliated Against.
Three reports issued by the agency’s inspector general detailed personal attacks suffered by the scientists — including being called “stupid,” “piranhas” and “pot-stirrers” — and called on the EPA to take “appropriate corrective action” in response.

That they still think they should rule America confirms them as sociopaths.
