"If I didn’t know better I’d say that President Trump is trying to tell us something: he is not a free man, and he resents it." (twitter.com)

The thought crossed my mind quite a bit this year. Trump has not practiced any discretion when referring to the demands of his Israeli and technocrat connections. It's possible he doesn't know any other way to sell things, but I am not sure either way. I mean, it was kind of shocking that he said Miriam Adelson couldn't pick between Israel and the US.

It's a demoralization tactic. He is rubbing our noses in the fact that he is doing the exact thing his entire base voted against, and there isn't anything we can do about it. And it's working, as the GOP is going to get absolutely destroyed in the midterms. And then Trump will just tell us all that there is nothing he can do about the things we want to fix, so we will just have to focus on fixing Israel's problems instead.

He betrayed us all, and trying to pin it on people like Wiles is just cope.

There's no way he actually believes that would work. So if you take this view, the only explanation is that he wants to destroy the United States. That doesn't make any sense.

The more parsimonious answer is that he needed to make a lot of friends save himself from the January 6th beartrap he stepped in, and also to pull off a win in 2024. Those "friends" are calling in favors and Trump is dancing on a table trying to balance that with populism, and failing miserably. Nobody walks off a deal with the devil.

The Butler, Palm Beach, and Utah Valley University attacks are a stark reminder of what happens if he goes against their wishes.

What part of January 6th was a “beartrap”? Anyone with a brain knows it wasn’t even close to an “insurrection”

It was a trap set by the government/deep state to create the appearance of an insurrection and bait as many of Trump's most fervent supporters into prison time.
