Trump sees the job as that communicating to the public at all times because he is a propaganda president. So, you know, that's that's in one bucket. That's why she's there to do the messaging, which is why I think you could anticipate her doing a lot of things on the D.C. crime level because they want to crack down on crime. and be really seen as that law and order president.
And I think they have a lot of ambitions to use the District of Columbia as a test case for other things that they want to do on the policing front. And she, I think, is a contender to do that. But when it comes to the actual important things that someone in that role should be playing, when it comes to the national security cases, et cetera, et cetera, I don't think she's equipped at all.
Yeah. And definitely, you know, prosecuting terrorists and things like that, that actually, you know, are very quite serious. But one one note on that in terms of Trump looking for people who will do that kind of work for him. I really want to raise a flag on Linda McMahon. Have you been watching what she's been doing? She issued an insane letter to Harvard.
that sounded like some 22-year-old staffer wrote it after just imbibing on Pizzagate Jack for the last five years. I mean, it was really... I really urge people to go read that letter that essentially just accused them of harboring hate in every respect and how dare you let in... Where are these foreign students going from? It's just three pages of going on and on like that. And so...
she is someone I didn't really have on my bingo card of stepping into that role, but she's, she's all in.
One of the things that is really interesting about Linda's letter to Harvard is that, you know, the whole reason that Trump started going after these universities for anti-Semitism, right? This traces back to the executive order he issued in his early days. It's the reason why he's going after Columbia, now going after Washington University, who had some...
protests over the last week where students broke into an engineering building, took it over, damaged equipment. And so now there's a task force investigation going from Trump into that university. So like there is stuff happening on that front.
But if you look at the letter that she wrote, she essentially outright accuses them of violating federal law, like barely obliquely references a congressional hearing about the anti-Semitism without even going into it. And so it's like
this is all pretext, like raising the idea that we're protecting Jewish students when there are things happening on these campuses, but just using that as like the big hammer to go after them with and sort of forgetting the plot and the process is something I'm watching.
That did happen again in Columbia this week. I took over a library and people had to come in again. So I just want to make sure I'm not like downplaying that. But, yeah, it's a mixed bag.
We had a trade surplus with them. That's an important point. Thank you for bringing that up. Okay. I really, I love this tariff issue. I just got to say, I love it. I think it's going to be super important for two reasons. It breaks the idea that Trump is some kind of economic genius that is going to lead the country into prosperity. Shatters that idea.
And we're going to see it this summer because he can't unwind the effects now. But also, you have the double bonus that it also shatters the idea that he's a good negotiator. Yes. Again, why are we negotiating with countries that we have a trade surplus with? That makes no flipping sense. His whole point is the deficit. Why are we doing any of this? And again, it goes back to like...
This idea, the reason why he's doing this, he said in an executive order, we have to have Liberation Day and tariffs because there's some national security issue. What are you talking about?
What is the national security issue that you had to revisit and negotiate the price of beef like some nanny state leader where you're just getting in there with your little ledger and be like, okay, Rolls Royce. You can have a waiver for airplane engines. I mean, just like it is bananas. It's not a good use of any president's time.
Although, you know, I don't mind Trump wasting some time not doing worse things. But it's just like, you know, the movie idea tariff. Like since when are foreign films part of a national security emergency? I mean, I know he gets ideas from the movies, but it's just the dumbest idea. Crap possible. And it's going to blow up in his face.
And people better be ready to explain why, you know, this is just not only bad policy, but it's bad autocratic policy. This kind of like autocratic bullshit policy. does not make anyone more prosperous or more free. People always give him the critique, well, he doesn't understand how tariffs work.
He absolutely understands tariffs in the context in that this is a mechanism I can use where everyone needs to grovel to me and I get to be in charge. That's why he likes the tariffs. But, you know, the idea that this is all done under the umbrella of a supposed national security emergency. I mean, I expect false flags to be better orchestrated, especially by a conspiracy theorist in chief.
I mean, this is just the flimsiest flim flam and it just deserves to be crushed and destroyed.
The dolls are going to attack us.
Yeah. And that's a nice position to be in.
