The #Trump admin is not a collaborative force seeking to work w/the other branches to carry out the mission of governing the nation. The Trump admin, as we have seen countless times in Trump’s first 100 days, is a destructive force seeking to exploit the weaknesses of the co-equal branches—& other institutions—to carry out their mission of taking over the nation on Trump’s behalf.

[yup. pretty much.]

#ElonMusk, who the #Trump admin has sworn in court is only an advisor to Trump & not at all the head of #DOGE nor an administrator of DOGE nor an employee of DOGE, literally has a badge that says “THE DOGEFATHER”

#Trump also ordered #PeteHegseth & #PamBondi to “determine how #military & #NationalSecurity assets” & personnel “can most effectively be utilized” to prevent crime:

§4 Using National Security Assets for Law & Order. (a) Within 90 days…,the AG & the Secy of Defense, in consultation w/the Secy of DHS & the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military & national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State & local law enforcement.

In an #ExecutiveOrder titled, “Strengthening & Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals & Protect Innocent Civilians,” #Trump issued several directives, including the establishment of a legal defense mechanism for law enforcement officers & [unironically] a crackdown on state & local ofcls who “willfully & unlawfully direct the obstruction of #criminal #law, including by directly & unlawfully prohibiting law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.”

#Trump directed Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth & #USAG #PamBondi to determine how the US #military could be used for #domestic #law enforcement on Monday.

Question for #Trump: How does that apply to the law enforcement officers attacked on #Jan6 & your pardoning the perpetrators?

But we’ve both covered #Trump long enough to know that his first word is rarely his final one. So at 10:45 on a Saturday morning in late March, we called him on his cellphone. (Don’t ask how we got his number. All we can say is that the White House staff have imperfect control over Trump’s personal communication devices.) Trump was at his country club in Bedminster, NJ. The number that flashed on his screen was an unfamiliar one, but he answered anyway. [whaaat?]

The week our interview was supposed to occur, Trump posted a vituperative message on Truth Social, attacking us by name. “Ashley Parker is not capable of doing a fair & unbiased interview. She is a Radical Left Lunatic, & has been as terrible as is possible for as long as I have known her,” he wrote. “To this date, she doesn’t even know that I won the Presidency THREE times.” (That last sentence is true—Ashley Parker does not know that Trump won the presidency 3 times.)
