re: #169 Targetpractice

In keeping with all the 1930s analogies we’ve been using for years now, Trump’s nomination was the Austrian corporal being appointed Chancellor: The party thought the real power would remain in the legislature, while all they needed was a meat puppet to smile for the cameras and sign any bills put in front of him. They thought they could control him, not the other way around.

They assumed he would listen to reason and defer to experts and people with more experience.

Without any evidence that he was or had ever been capable of doing so.
