It's bizarre to me that Trump, who talks like he has imperial ambitions, is dismantling the services that run the empire. I can't tell if he's senile and being completely puppeteered by Musk, or if he's lucid but just actually has no idea what any of these agencies do and why it's in his interest as president to keep them working.
that's not the empire he's rooting for
Krasnov is doing what is ordered. Dismantling the USA. Just like his handlers want.
He doesn't care as long as he gets to be the man behind the desk. He's a manbaby. Elon is the one actually running things. There's pictures of Elon talking to the cabinet while Trump is asleep and any time a cabinet member pushes back against a DOGE directive Trump backs up Elon. What Elon wants is for the government to be utterly shattered so he can rebuild it as a private entity.
I think there were some really dark or embarrassing things in his twitter dms that Musk is holding over his head. Plus he is a malicious idiot who can't comprehend spending resources to help other people.
Not just Musk, but I suspect he's being puppeteered by all of his billionaire 'allies' to gut government so completely that it can only be sustained by the lower and middle classes, and effectively relieve the rich from taxes. They can also be gutting the nation so that when election year comes around it's so weak he can do whatever he wants and ignore the law. And if course, gut it completely so that the enemies of democracy wage all the wars they want so they can turn the status quo for themselves.
The US as it stands is nothing but an obstacle to these rich assholes.
It's just compete idiocy though. The government is what grants them their property rights. They're literally engineering their own demise.
