Welp, the GOP will fully control all 3 branches of government in a couple months, so that’s not a problem at all. We’re going full throttle into corporate conartists turning the country into a fascist dystopia so they can rob the government coffers blind before sailing away on one of their billion dollar yachts.
an entity Trump indicated will operate outside the confines of government.
So this is just a blue ribbon commission that’s going to collect donations, maybe government grants, write some kind of report, then send it to Congress where it will be promptly ignored because it’s recommendations will be too politically toxic for actual Republicans up for reelection to implement.
This reminds me of 2016, Trump claimed he won the popular vote but millions of illegal aliens voted, so he set up some dumb commission to investigate all the election fraud. It held a hearing or two, wasted a bunch of money, didn’t find any evidence of anything, then quietly disappeared.
Anyone on the left needs to be ready for this kind of shit and to respond appropriately. Trump will do a bunch of shit for show that doesn’t mean anything. Part of that show is getting the libs all outraged and worked up. Then Trump and Co can say “Look at those Dems with their Trump derangement syndrome lashing out at our brave president trying to cut government waste, Dems are so out of touch, yada yada”. This is the playbook, he’s been doing it for a decade now. Don’t play the game, save the outrage for real shit that hurts real people.
Yes, which this isn’t. It’s my understanding Musk couldn’t hold such a position while maintaining his position in his companies.
My guess is that Trump issues an executive order requiring that all executive branch organizations must implement the policy recommendations of this organization. This keeps it outside the government but also effectively official policy as well.
Doesn’t it take an act of Congress to create a new govt department?
