Looks like clear evidence that Trump is good for the poker economy.

Lol that undersecretary who got fired today at the state department is being replaced by a former fox and friends co-host.

Trump feels like the shackles have been removed and he can let his freak flag fly. Clearly he feels he has been suppressed into doing things he hated by his staff.

Is it just a reflex to demonize any Republican?

At this point it's pretty reasonable to assume anybody with an R after their name is willing to completely wreck everything this country is supposed to stand for in pursuit of short term political gains and/or a modest payoff. I'll start crediting individuals with having a spine as soon as they start putting up more than empty token protests. And that applies to everybody, not just elected officials.

Torture gained credibility with deplorables the second Trump said he's going to "bring back waterboarding and much worse" during that early primary debate.

no. Do you also think disliking Mexicans gained credibility with deplorable when Trump said that Mexico is sending rapists and drug dealers?

The whole philosophy behind Trump and his worldview is that might makes right. Torture is okay because we're powerful and we can do it. And it feels good to inflict pain on people with a different skin colour.

I think of it like Nazism and many other extreme, ****ed up views that reside on the R side of the spectrum. They existed before, but Trump stepped on the gas pedal and made them much more mainstream.

He tweeted and spoke a bunch about "draining the swamp" lately and his followers are eating it up as usual. They don't seem to notice that he's been draining his own swamp creatures.

Even before he decided to launch a trade war and roll the nuclear dice by agreeing in the course of a West Wing afternoon to a risky sit-down with Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump was telling friends he was tired of being reined in. “I’m doing great, but I’m getting all these bad headlines,” Trump told a friend recently. A Republican in frequent contact with the White House told me Trump is “frustrated by all these people telling him what to do.”

....

According to five Republicans close to the White House, Trump has diagnosed the problem as having the wrong team around him and is looking to replace his senior staff in the coming weeks. “Trump is going for a clean reset, but he needs to do it in a way that’s systemic so it doesn’t look like it’s chaos,” one Republican said.

Sources said that the first officials to go will be Chief of Staff John Kelly and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, both of whom Trump has clashed with for months. On Tuesday, Trump met with John Bolton in the Oval Office. When he plans to visit Mar-a-Lago next weekend, Trump is expected to interview more candidates for both positions, according to two sources. “He’s going for a clean slate,” one source said.

The article goes on to say that even Javanka are now on the chopping block. Also:

Quote:

People who have spoken with Trump said his reset is being driven in part by the looming midterms, and he’s been fielding advice from Corey Lewandowski and Dave Bossie. They’ve counseled him to return to his 2016 campaign message. Another source said Trump has felt newfound validation after a CPAC straw poll last month showed him with a 93 percent approval rating.

As per usual, absolutely everything Trump does is centered around self-aggrandizement. Strap yourselves in.
