Over and over: Either the ridiculously reckless Trump gamble kind of works out, in which case they learn they are unstoppable God-kings immune to consequences, or it doesn't and there are terrible ramifications for... mostly other people. So utterly bleak.

The US produces enough oil for its own needs. Can Trump just ban exports to reduce domestic prices?

The price is going up based on the commodities market, the same way that wheat prices have gone up since Russia invaded Ukraine, even though we grow all of our own wheat.

Cuba... Or Greenland? Shit at this point I wouldn't be surprised if El Presidenté decides Vancouver looks tasty.

Yes but... He's likely ruined in the midterms anyway. Domestic support for Venezuela and now this was less than tepid even among his base, and this has visibly opened up massive schisms in MAGA. His support isn't picking up in any scenario, is it?

His base backs this - the issue is his base is smaller. You’ve got loud talking heads speaking out but most of them are like Tucker Carlson & won’t actually do anything about it because they know they don’t have a base of their own

If anything I think you’ll see them help him try to pivot away because it’s also in their interests not to disagree
