Charlie?
Well, I spent so much time writing about Venezuela and the boat strikes.
I'll pick in September when he's got some people in the Oval Office for a completely unrelated issue.
And he suddenly just kind of casually remarks, by the way, we blew some people out of the water this morning.
You're going to be hearing more about that.
And then a few minutes later posts on his Truth Social social media platform what any administration would treat as highly classified footage of this incident.
And using this entirely personalized medium, truthsocial.com, to put out this extremely official, important footage was striking.
No other president would have done that at all, but certainly no other president would have done it, the public presentation of it in that way.
To add one more thing to the table, I would point to immigration enforcement as an unfinished business that is already becoming escalatory.
Trump very quickly managed to close the border, but what has marked both his promises and what his base elected him to do and what he's now doing as aggressively as he can is the interior enforcement.
Mass sweeps aimed at purging the country of many millions of people who are here without documentation.
as we are seeing in places right now like Minneapolis.
But the bottom line is there are millions of people here that people like Stephen Miller do not want to be here.
And finding them and taking them into custody and pushing them through the deportation hearing process in a way that dramatically escalates the number of people per year who are removed from the country is an achievement that it remains promised and yet undone.
So what all this seems to add up to is an increased amount of tensions at home and the use and the willingness to use hard power in the streets of American cities, especially Democratic cities, both ICE agents in masks acting very aggressively and then backed by the threat of and sometimes the reality of federal troops in the streets of American cities to protect and enhance that effort.
It seems very incendiary.
We'll be right back.
So the day after Thanksgiving, the Washington Post published a very good story about the first of Trump's boat attacks way back on September 2nd.
Now, that had always been the most questionable of the 21 attacks that have happened so far.
And part of the reason for that is that there were some additional complicating details that had come to light in September, including that the boat had turned around before it attacked.
