That's an interesting analysis of Trump's "negotiating" style works. I'm curious how Elon Musk becoming co-president or "prime minister" fits with Trump's power? I'm also curious who, inside the WH, is pushing the 2025 agenda? The OMB Chief to be is not in power yet. I've not seen information if Stephen Miller is an advocate? I really wonder if Trump is just settling into the idea of being the figurehead President who can pursue his various acquisitions in between golfing while folks around him pursue their agendas independently of a disinterested, uninformed, and rapidly aging man.

Don't fall into the "he has really done it this time. He'll never work his way of this one." Trump then wriggles himself free without too much effort. Just remember that despite what 2017-2019 looked like to you he would have easily won re-election in 2020 if not for Covid and even then he only lost by 40k votes.

Level-headed. So many of us are sure we’re doomed because we can’t fight back as fast as Trump can use his Sharpie. See all the litigation counts: Litigation tracker, JustSecurity.org, Courtwatch.news, and so on.
