Nat. Review: Trump Disrupting His Own Presidency

Friday, April 25, 2025

Defenders of Trump's unorthodox way of doing business will often say that he's a "disrupter," meaning it as a compliment. But what he's been disrupting lately is his own presidency. His splashy tariff announcements, rapid reversals, and sense of mystery about where he's headed next all have real-world consequences on businesses, consumers, and allied nations, and none of it is redounding to his political benefit. The good news is that having created this situation of his own volition, he can undo most of it if he reverses field on the tariffs. In the meantime, the vibe has definitely changed.

Donald Trump is severely mentally ill. He's mad; insane.

Stop acting surprised as if any of this viciousness and chaos is unexplainable.

Lee the Agent,

How did you get your link accepted? Every time I try to create a thread from NRO being critical of Trump I'm informed NRO is forbidden from this site.

I'm not a borderline Hall of Fame troll, Jeff. I don't easily elicit multiple responses with a single post. And it doesn't take any effort.

Maybe if management didn't think that you're a jackass, they'd let you play. You're like the Ty Cobb of Field of Dreams.

I don't think it has anything to do with username. It's specific to certain publications. I have a thread on the back page from the Hill.

Trump's statement after arresting Wisconsin judge:

"I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation... From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour."

I lied, that was Hitler in 1942.

I don't care. Figure it out for yourself, genius.

Piss off, douche.

Wow, such an accomplishment!
