Yeah all I will say with certainty is that I have no certain grasp on what the hell he's thinking right now. I would have pushed back on the 4D chess angle a day or two ago, but it's crossed into the "so bad it isn't plausible that he's this stupid" territory so I don't know what to think anymore.
I'm a big fan of Barnes, especially lately. Where did he say that, in the big Sunday stream they do?
Yeah, he said it on the Sunday stream, I was watching it late. He's more convinced that this is incompetence from people around Trump pushing some worm-tounge bullshit. He was ranting pretty hard.
The thing is that I can't quite tell where Trump is actually going. It's like he's pulling the 'madman leader' on everyone. He keeps pushing things in certain ways that, even if he burns political capital, he ends up getting what he wanted.
With the tarrifs, he was basically making shit up about the actual justifications for the tarrifs, and pledged bajillion percent tarrifs, and then softened when he got most of what he wanted. With Iran, he basically sounded like he was going to send in the Marines, and then got the specifics of what he wanted when he knocked out the nuclear program and made a show of US strength. Now we've got him screeching that Epstein dindu nuffin... it makes me think he'll back down on that and launch some kind of investigation.

Dang, ya’ll have some serious faith going on.
My counterpoint? His opinion on the vaccines.
He’s been known to fuck up badly.
Definitely not favoring the 4D chess angle, just considering it a solid possibility.
