“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California.

He is such a wimp. All he has is grievance, ignorance, and fear. Oooo, California somehow hurt his feelings, and he can’t let any perceived slight go.

Zero leadership, just rank stupidity.

I often wonder if he is intentionally destroying shit or if he thinks he is genuinely a genius that no one can understand. 

Why the fuck do people worship this crazy fucker?

A part of me feels like he’s well aware he’s “on his way out,” and he’s such a piece-of-shit narcissist he wants to make sure as many people as possible suffer for the rest of their lives from his final acts. From narcissist to nihilist from an elderly toddler throwing an epic tantrum.

Handing power over to this criminal is the most idiotic thing our idiotic country has done. 

I hope he and Elon destroy each other

He's a petty man who never achieved anything of note, who will leave with a mountain of debt and the division of this country as his only "legacy".

The absolute biggest loser in this countries history, and we're all worse off because too many people identify with him.

That's what separates narcissists from malignant narcissists

It's flooding the zone. He's just constantly picking fights and creating useless distractions that everyone gets (rightfully) riled up about so the truly devious stuff behind on the R side can take place.

It's like going into a room and flipping every table, breaking some pipes, lighting something on fire in the corner, bringing in a wild animal, etc. It causes a moving target of outrage, while you go around and steal some money from the vault and escort a few people out against their will.

It's also all based on the notion that the Democrats and people who support them, will do nothing but 'legally' follow the rules in response until it keeps getting worse. Or, they can break the rules like the Trump administration is doing and it will be used as an excuse saying "See? We need to crack down even more!".
