The only thing I can think of is that Trump is defusing the objections of the Deep State to his reelection. He may be playing them a bit, albeit in a way that makes us very uncomfortable. The tale of the Trojan Horse comes to mind. You can’t act to make big changes unless you are elected. And if you want to be elected, the practical answer, however distasteful, is to at least appear to be supportive of the Deep State’s wishes and policies. If he were to openly oppose them now, he will be defeated electorally one way or another. He learned that in 2020. If you doubt they would do it again. . . . . .

Opinion seconded on the Davis video. Terrific all the way through. Maddening, disgusting, depressing, and energizing. I would like to send this to a certain assortment of Congress-critters but I learned long ago that if you don't have the money they don't have the time, and I got tired of reading form letter responses from staff. I'm ashamed to have become as quiescent as I have in that regard.
