Trump's Second Term

Dan Rather posted on Facebook Monday:

“When a clown moves into a palace he doesn’t become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus.”

The comment has over 900,000 'likes.' A MAGAmutt replied, "Sure sounds like the circus we had the past four years!!!" That got 484 likes. Then someone else posted they were "exhausted, embarrassed and ashamed of what's going." That got 24,000 likes.

Miller has been a flagrant and repeated liar since his university campus days. He is as big a narcissist as Trump.

I am not sure what you mean. According to KJ Johnson, Mr. Miller had the facts on his side when he debated the Duke lacrosse case with Nancy Grace, but there were also glimpses of what became more apparent later on. "“He was unusually media-savvy,” said K. C. Johnson, a Brooklyn College professor who wrote a book about the case and met Miller several times."
 
Meanwhile in Norway, the debate might be starting about what Americans to offer asylum to.

"Sexual minorities are persecuted like the Jews in Germany in the thirties, Norway should offer them asylum"

Edit: Said by a member of Norwegian Parliament.
Edit2: sorry, blond moment, she's a possible future MP. Currently she's in a municipal council😔.

...WTF?

I mean, I...

...If I'm being accused of a massive, global, stock market manipulation, I would like to think I would not go out of my way to draw attention to the accusation.

There is no plan. Trump is just an idiot. There is no eleventy-dimensional chess, no "real" agenda. Just an idiot with millions of followers who refuse to accept the truth.

Trump cannot imagine he is wrong therefore Wall St running around like headless chickens is amusing because they are in a panic over nothing and he is a super genius. He shares the story so his fans can enjoy the fun of the entire financial world thinking the dear leader has made a terrible mistake, which they know to be impossible.

Verdict on the China's retaliatory tariffs.

Makes me think of America retaliating rather than backing off after Pearl Harbor. I can just imagine Tojo after the Doolittle raid telling the Japanese press "America played it wrong - they panicked. The one thing they cannot afford to do."

I know it's just bluster aimed at calming his fans but seriously, when China makes a move, the one thing you can be absolutely sure about is that they did not panic. China is chillingly deliberate.
 
On a different front

No Military History will be taught at the Command and General Staff College.

This is the post I never wanted to have to make.

Earlier today, news arrived that my position as a history professor for US Army CGSC has been eliminated in accordance with DOD cuts. There is no chance of reassignment, and the entire Fort Belvoir campus will be stood down.

The story is that Pres. Trump inherited a very bad economy, a patient that was very sick. The market behavior is simply the symptom of that illness that Joe Biden caused. What's that term where everyone knows that someone is lying but we all just agree to pretend like it's the truth?

Pravda?
Slightly more seriously in Japanese we have tatame as opposed to honne.
 
On a popular YT video blog, the leading comment on a video entitled Why America's Reputation Will Not Survive This, the top-voted comment is:
The reputation of the American people has been harmed by electing him. Again.

I think the two just about summarize the post 2024 situation of American soft power, once the greatest on the planet by far.

Trump 2.0 is a public brain fart that shall resound in history, a milestone in national embarrassment.
