The Trump of 2017 was a wildcard. A surprise. And for better and for worse, he ran the presidency the way he runs his “business” — ineptly.

But #Project2025 is a different beast. Trump in a second term would be a cudgel. And I don’t think people are acknowledging what an earth without at least one superpower aimed roughly at freedom would be like.

I’m surprised he admits this. I’ve said for a long time that for a supposedly brilliant manager, he seems to hire the wrong people _almost every time_. (From his standpoint … from our standpoint, he’s accidentally hiring sane people.)

Dust off those boots. We are going to have to march. Practice being peaceful ahead of time.

Some folks calls it a sling blade.

This is what Trump wants America to be … not a shining city on a hill, but a drunk uncle spewing delusions at you from a junk-food drive-through window.

Quartz writes a one-line summary of Trump’s life:

"he pretended to work during a closed event attended by pre-screened supporters."
