(1,498 posts)I think hes getting the results he (or Putin) wants.
Yes, he knows nothing about policy but he knows that putting people hostile to the missions of the Department in charge of that department will effectively neuter that organization. He knows that by putting blatantly political hacks into key judgeships that he can demand and get the rulings he wants (we just saw that with the ruling allowing Mulvaney to take over the CFPB).
He has effectively shattered our key alliances and made overtures to strongmen (Putin the most notable). He has the Justice Department entertaining the idea of launching witch hunts against his political opponents. He has Mitch McConnell so cowed that he is pushing through a politically suicidal tax bill that just happens to have everything in it that will directly benefit him and his heirs.
Trump may be correct when he says that he has accomplished more than any other President in the same span of time. His accomplishments just havent been legislative to date.
Crazy? Doesnt really look like it from here.
Ive got a really bad feeling about this and I think you do too. While were waiting for Mueller to ride up over the horizon to save the day the war may have already been lost.
