Bimbling idiots slashing staff that the idiots don't even understand what functions they serve. Recipe for a disaster and if it comes it will be the Trump/Musk disaster. These egomaniacs are playing with fire.

Trump's behaviors are not explicable except in terms of febrile mental illness.

The stories of his madness are already leaking from the White House, if simple observations of his behavior were not enough.

There is a disaster coming in America that will be preventable and involve great loss of life.

My bet is on terrorism, given Trump is dismantling our defenses.

But a dam failure? Sure. Why not?

Sounds like the same response a maga maroon gave when asked why he voted for a failure like Trumpy.

"But a dam failure? Sure. Why not?"
