Trump: The complete take over of the Republican machinery

The new boss of the Republican party is Donald Trump's Daughter-in-law.  Yesterday Laura Trump announced that 100% of the Republican party's election efforts were to get Trump elected.  On the same day, Donald Trump announced that he had no interest in bringing Nikki Haley voters into the fold, he deemed them traitors.  Trump told about 30% of Republican primary voters to go away!  

These two actions are impressive and show the depth of trouble of the Republican party.  The job of the Republican party is to not only get the President elected but there are thousands of races all over the country where they get involved either providing logistics support or money.  These races are all cut off.  Primary voters are the core of the party, they spend months sometimes years working for the cause.  They are fully engaged in the political process.  Now, they have been told they are traitors! 

It takes a special kind of narcissism to think that you can win when the most dedicated followers are told to take a hike.  Most will hear the message and will probably simply sit out the November elections.  Primary exit polls showed that 80% of those who were voting for Nikki Haley will not vote for Trump, but it gets much worse because these grassroots party workers are also catalysts to encourage other Republicans to go and vote on the day.  

The Trump family sees his election as the only get-out-of-jail card he has remaining, Trump assumes that he can delay things until after January 6th, 2025 when he takes office he will be protected from all these lawsuits.  In that context, the Trump takeover makes perfect sense.  At the very least it would stop criminal and civil lawsuits until 2028.  Buying more time for Trump.  

This may be the final nail in the modern Republican party as it is known.  The vast majority of businesspeople don't recognize the party, and national security hawks are gone too.  Instead, big labour, white supremacists, anti-immigration and religious groups will support the party, with a large contingent of Latino voters.  The new Republicans resemble the Democratic party because for the first time, in almost a century the GOP is an alliance of groups that do not see eye to eye on several issues.  This explains the popularity of Donald Trump, for Trump is not for anything he is a grievance machine, and being against something, and making light of difficult problems is very easy for issue-driven supporters.

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
