How Trump has transformed government shutdowns from rare breakdowns into deliberate weapons to punish opponents, reallocate resources, and remake the state.
Thank you for your summary of a president and administration playing The Blame Game. Blame democrats, immigrants, the radical left, former administrations. Shut down the government or send troops into major cities until a knee is bent. Than when that comes, claim victory. It’s as if We The People are suffering through the movie Ground Hog Day every single day.
Brings to mind that Joni Mitchel song line "You don't know what you got till its gone." Everyone hates paying taxes until they figure out what those pay for. Everyone hates the government until they don't, which is when they need it....
Your article gives clarity and understanding to what we see unfolding. And IMO Trump has been the willing tool of these designers of evil control like Vought. These manipulators are insane. They follow the legacy of depraved kings and monarchs with the twists of Machiavelli and Goebbels. This article should be read by everyone.
Trump’s shutdowns aren’t accidents—they’re a strategy. By refusing compromise, he halts government, blames Democrats, and uses the chaos to push Project 2025. Agencies get branded as “Democrat,” programs in blue states are frozen, and resources are redirected to loyal allies. What looks like disorder is really a method to weaken institutions, punish opponents, and concentrate power in his hands.
You provide some of the most valuable and urgent analysis on the President's most effective tool- language and narrative. Thank you
