He never really wanted to be president in the first place. He ran in 2016 as a publicity stunt and increasingly unlikely things kept happening until he sort of tripped into the White House.
one thing that receives almost no attention is that the only reason he ran for president again is because he had to to avoid prosecution for a litany of crimes, the whole plan was: 1). Take shelter in SCOTUS-granted immunity. 2). Loot.
trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

A lot of what Trump is doing can be called next-level awful, at least in its egregiousness.
But one thing he's about to do that no president has ever done. And it's something Republicans have dreamt about doing forever.
Millions of Americans are about to be intentionally uninsured by the GOP.

So what’s going on is that the federal government is running a massive domestic spying operation and getting local cops to do their dirty work once a car is stopped. They call this siloing of data “walling” it off from their true source.
