If you set your Trump expectations dial to 11, like he's supposed to be some blend of Coolidge, von Mises, and John MacArthur, you're going to be disappointed every time. Just enjoy the show. Sure, there's Lindsey Graham endorsements and the fedex truck is always bringing boxes from Acme Hyperinflation Supply Co. Which might blow up in the face of President Newsom in 2029 the same way the 2020 covid stimuli led to the bidenflation.

There's deportations, of course, not enough, but they keep happening. Occasionally, you get a special bonus treat that you didn't dare even hope for, like John Bolton getting raided by the fbi at 7:00 a.m.

By the way, MacArthur's memorial service (he died in july) was yesterday. 2 hours and 45 minutes!

Dirigiste-in chief: Trump opens the door to ‘state-run capitalism’

GRA:That's behind a paywall for Financial Times. The definition is,a government--or in this case--a presidentially pushed agenda,focused on expanding capitalism(as opposed to socialism).

Even if he succeeds,Trump is a finite factor,so all of this could easily be reversed in 3 years. Does J.D. Vance have the charisma to keep the movement(anti-invasion,anti-crime,pro-capitalism) going? There's only one Trump--unless an offspring jumps into politics.
Dems are stupid and will likely put up another minority candidate in 2028. Until then,they'll use the four corners offense(court lawsuits,possible impeachment in 2027)to stymie Trump's plans as much as possible.
