This shit is so weird… and does not sit right or sound right with me. You?
“We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
A. Something is way off
B. Totally normal

Weird indeed.

RE: The Master Plan
MAGAs need to understand how the Trump Administration is currently thinking.
I know many of you are unhappy that all your dreams did not instantly come true the day after Inauguration Day, but the actual fact is that when Trump took office his team IMMEDIATELY blasted off like gangbusters. In one year we have seen more productive conservative change in the federal government than with every other GOP president since Reagan combined.
Trump has significantly degraded the Deep State in a way most of us could only dream of ten years ago. Moreover, Trump’s economic policies are bearing fruit right now and we will likely see a very strong economy by the midterms.
But…Ah yes, the midterms.
I know so many of you will only be happy when Bill Clinton, Hillary, Obama and Joe Biden are in jail, but you need to join the world of reality.
Right now, Trump and his team are gauging everything they do through the lens of “How will this effect the midterms?” They have sophisticated polling that you and I will never see, and at the moment every Trump action is tempered by “Let’s be aggressive but not in such a way it turns public opinion against us before the midterms.”
Trump knows that if he loses the midterms, all is lost. The Dems will constantly impeach him and most of his cabinet, and even if the Senate never convicts, the acts of impeachment will grind the Trump machine to a halt.
The midterms are everything.
So I’m warning you, from now until November you are going to see a less aggressive Trump. If you are a Doomster for whom nothing is ever enough, you need to understand why that is.
But here is the good news. I believe that one day after the midterms Trump will once again go shock and awe for a year, and then back off again in 2028 to get JD or Rubio elected. (For example, I can easily see Trump taking zero drastic action in the near term to further inflame the Minnesota situation, but invoking the Insurrection Act the day after the midterms and sending in the 82nd.)
Since the Super Bowl is coming up, consider it this way: In the first quarter, Trump ran up the score. In the second quarter, he went prevent defense to hold onto the lead. After halftime, once again in the third quarter he will run up the score, and then hold the lead in the fourth quarter to win the game.
This is not Qtard “trust the plan” nonsense. This is simply good political strategy.
Everyone needs to realize two things: (1) the Constitution includes checks and balances that inherently weaken the absolute power of each branch and (2) even though they are in the minority, Democrats still have a HUGE say. Our system is DESIGNED THIS WAY. We have to account for the opposition—you cannot ignore them.
With that in mind, I have every confidence that Trump and his team will navigate through a treacherous course and come out on the winning side.
I'm hoping this post makes the things you see in the months ahead more comprehensible. Have a nice day.
