Not what Trump ran on but I agree with the broad strokes of what Pete Hegseth says here.

i would also agree with him if he said the sky was blue.

i think you are reaching here. "backing our allies and standing up to enemies" is more tautology than policy. it's literally what you have to do with allies, or else they aren't allies. you dont have to stand up to enemies but that is usually the point of having them. i don't know that this guy should get credit for asserting a=a. that trump thinks a=whatever the fuck trump wants is too low a bar for comparison.
 
Not typically considered appropriate behavior by a member of the incoming (or existing) U.S. government…

Elon Musk Calls for Fresh UK Elections in Latest Starmer Attack​

  • Billionaire calls for release from jail of right-wing agitator
  • Posts follow volley of criticism that started in the summer



 
Vance making sure to give Musk backing on picking sides in German election while trying to pretend he is not doing so. Hiding behind calling something “Interesting” isn’t a word that provides as much cover as folks using it to amplify certain stories or POVs pretend.

They’re really good on “messaging.”

MAGA will continue to believe whatever Trump and his Trumplicans say.

Unfortunately, “independent” soccer Moms and “moderate” “I vote for the man and not the party” Dads across suburbia and exurbia will believe these lies……and they’ll vote for MAGA.

Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story.​

President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.

"
To hear President-elect Donald J. Trump tell it, he is about to take over a nation ravaged by crisis, a desolate hellscape of crime, chaos and economic hardship. “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World!” he declared on social media last week.

But by many traditional metrics, the America that Mr. Trump will inherit from President Biden when he takes the oath for a second time, two weeks from Monday, is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since George W. Bush came into office in 2001.

For the first time since that transition 24 years ago, there will be no American troops at war overseas on Inauguration Day. New data reported in the past few days indicate that murders are way down, illegal immigration at the southern border has fallen even below where it was when Mr. Trump left office and roaring stock markets finished their best two years in a quarter-century.

Jobs are up, wages are rising and the economy is growing as fast as it did during Mr. Trump’s presidency. Unemployment is as low as it was just before the Covid-19 pandemic and near its historic best. Domestic energy production is higher than it has ever been.

The manufacturing sector has more jobs than under any president since Mr. Bush. Drug overdose deaths have fallen for the first time in years. Even inflation, the scourge of the Biden presidency, has returned closer to normal, although prices remain higher than they were four years ago.

“President Trump is inheriting an economy that is about as good as it ever gets,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. “The U.S. economy is the envy of the rest of the world, as it is the only significant economy that is growing more quickly post-pandemic than prepandemic.”

Those positive trends were not enough to swing a sour electorate behind Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election, reflecting a substantial gap between what statistics say and what ordinary Americans appear to feel about the state of the country. ..."

----
He starts his administration with a straight flush, let's say Queen or maybe Jack high. Does he go for a royal flush or toss out the entire hand dealt to him b/c Biden? Or does he stand pat and claim credit for his inherited hand and reap the benefit of people feeling better about the same facts with a different face of current events?

I don’t think he’ll blow the amazing economy he’s been handed because he’s gambling for something better. I think it’ll happen because neither he nor the people he’s putting in charge have any clue what they’re doing.
