No seriously, fuck this âenemy of my enemy is my friendâ shit.
Why would anyone pretend this guy was doing anything other than covering his ass?
Whatâs patriotic about whinging about how youâre unappreciated because youâre shaving down the rough edges on the child-kingâs stupid plans...that coincidentally are just shoddy implementations of existing party policy that is also cruel and ineffective?
The attempt to narrativize this guy as a goodâun demonstrates how this IS NOT ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THING, itâs about creating a plausible deniability gap between Trump and the people who want the same things as Trump but done more artfully.
