A rational look at what Trump will/won't/can/can't do in his next term

Here’s an early test of whether the new Republican Majority Leader will be Trump’s lickspittle – he has insisted that the new Republican leader allow him to make recess appointments to executive and judicial positions. Senator Rick Scott – who is widely viewed as Trump’s favorite for the position – immediately agreed.

I approve of this use the term “lickspittle” but I claim priority in identifying Elon Musk as Trump’s Lickspittle in Chief even if he did dwaddle for a while in the kiddie pool of fascism with Ron DeSantis. Of course, with Trump, lickspittles get lynchings, so Elon shouldn’t get too comfortable with his role in cleaning Trump’s loafers.
