    Even the normal stuff they say isn’t normal. No CEO comes into a company and is like “hey, I heard I was promised to have total control of this company!” They say “I’m hoping to be effective leader and hope together we can, blah, blah, blah”

    No sane person comes into a position like that and says the quiet part out loud “day 1, I was promised total control of public health agencies!”

    Very weird indeed.

      There an Ezra Klein interview with Maggie Haberman, who has followed trump closely from the start in which she says leading the American people is not what he’s interested in. The constitution and rule of law is not what he’s interested in. It’s power. He’s not keen to dive into those other two things.

      He’s also way more erratic and impulsive since getting shot at.

        Lol yah, its clear they all want to be dictators, ya know who says, “I was promised total control?” Dictators.

        I was just leaning into the ‘weird’ framing, since they seem to fucking hate it.
