'..the USA getting weaker every day..''..Trump is setting up a parallel system to protect himself and maintain his power, and that is based on total control of the GOP and executive government. This might actually be the thing that makes US decline unstoppable. He is, as always, willing to destroy the country to save himself. And his Iran war is accelerating that.
..
So Iran and Israel now share one thing very much in common. They are willing to defy the US, incur US anger in the case of the latter and even dare the USA to restart military operations in the case of the former. In fact the US has started up military strikes this week, and it has made no difference.
This is what I mean about the USA getting weaker every day..
..
Trump knows that he is in real trouble in the Middle East, which is why privately he is raging and swearing. And he also know that he is politically in trouble because of this and other things such as the rising cost of living (made much worse by his Middle Eastern policy) .. [Trump is] opting for MAGA hardcore supporters over those who have a better chance of winning elections [to protect himself].
..He did this most famously in the Texas senate race, where he threw his support behind the [especially] corrupt Ken Paxton over the sitting GOP senator John Cornyn .. When it comes to government employees, Trump is also going for the hard-core loyalists..
..
Now why is Trump doing what seems to be decisions to make himself less popular and less politically secure going forward? The answer is not because he is stupid (Trump as I have been saying for years is not politically stupid but is actually extremely [savvy]), it is because he is adopting what could be called a scorched earth strategy to protect himself and his power going forward. He wants absolute and total control of the GOP, even if that means he might lose a seat here or there. And he wants a federal government that will do whatever he wants when he wants, regardless of the slightest scruple.
It sets him up to corrupt either the November vote or its results. People are being too blase about this election. Trump has a party that is completely under his sway and a federal government that is staffed by uber loyalists. It gives him terrible and powerful options to subvert democracy.
It is no mistake.
And it goes back to the Iran war. Trump is so stuck that he might have no option but to let this war continue to play out for weeks/months longer. The longer than happens the wilder this could be economically. He has now has a party and government that will do what he wants if chaos ensues, or indeed if he chooses to start chaos.'
