The dark, ugly subtext of the Pete Hegseth fiasco is that Trump/MAGA want Hegseth there because they seem him as their guy to carry out MAGA imperialist designs and domestic crackdowns if/when Trump orders them.

“Rubio’s eh-whatever statement that ‘it’s not our war’ will live in infamy next to James Baker’s unprincipled 1995 avowal... that ‘we don’t have a dog in that fight.’”
Who Were Those Gullible People Who Believed Donald Trump’s Bullsh*t?
His campaign promises, from peace in Ukraine to “beautiful” tariffs, were truly unbelievable. And yet, somehow, many people believed him.

After serving 4 months in prison for defying a subpoena from Congress’s January 6 committee, Peter Navarro was given a lifeline by Trump.
Now it seems Navarro is the idea man for these tariffs, having convinced the president of the plan’s (not at all) genius.

The Trump administration has removed a picture of Harriet Tubman from the National Park Service page on the Underground Railroad, changed the words “enslaved African Americans” to “enslaved workers” and removed a section that discussed Benjamin Franklin being a slave owner.

On Saturday, April 5, it's estimated millions of Americans took to the streets for “Hands Off!” demonstrations. Even with conservative estimates, we’re talking one of the largest mobilizations in recent American history.

Without this abuse of power, Trump could not be unleashing such havoc. In short, Trump’s lawlessness and his economic destruction are the same story: The former doesn’t just enable the latter; the two are inextricably entangled with each other.
