_Trump did not offer any details on his plans._ I wish I had a dollar for every time this was said. Oh, wait! I do! 🎩 ---

Trump guitars are the latest grift. Being a guitar person, this pisses me off quite a bit more than trading cards or gold sneakers. I anticipate more open transaction than with the last term. I’d guess that Trump believes America owes him a couple of billion dollars for all the fines and lawyer fees and lost time and pain and suffering and not being able to defraud people he was unfairly burdened with. I expect him to tend to that before he does much about the price of eggs and gas. ---

I dont understand how it could possibly be legal. In any properly functioning democracy this would be fairly straightforward bribery… But i guess the US is different because it is “exceptional”… ---

Gaetz replacement is Pam Bondi. ---

Pam Bondi is the expected level of awful. She was one of the lawyers who helped defend him during his first impeachment trial, and was previously the AG for Florida. She also is a member of the America First Policy Institute, which is a think tank created 3 years ago to try to promote Trump’s agenda. I would say, “evil but sane” for this pick, and it’s debatable if that’s better or worse than “evil and insane” which is what I judged the Gaetz pick. ---
