Throughout his first two months in workplace, Donald Trump has taken a shock and awe strategy to remaking the Federal Authorities. He tried to shut USAID and the Client Monetary Safety Bureau. He laid off hundreds of Federal staff regardless of questions in regards to the legality of those strikes with out the approval of Congress. He has imposed crippling tariffs on shut allies and plans to shut the Division of Training…and it’s been lower than 60 days since he took workplace.So who will stand as much as the person ruining America?
You’d suppose that Democrats can be those standing as much as the President, however no. Hakeem Jeffries made it clear that there was nothing he, the Minority Chief within the US Home of Representatives, might do to struggle the Commander in Chief. Chuck Shumer, Minority Chief within the Senate, just isn’t a lot better. He and 9 different Democratic Senators simply voted with Republicans to advance GOP funding invoice and avert a Authorities shutdown that will have laid naked the disfunction within the President’s personal social gathering.
So, I ask once more. Who will stand as much as Donald Trump?
I’m not a Republican, however I’ve had a grumpy respect for a few of them. Of us like John McCain and Mitt Romney weren’t my sort of individuals. They have been too militaristic when it got here to overseas coverage they usually didn’t just like the sort of insurance policies I appreciated. (Keep in mind the uproar over Obamacare?) However they all the time got here off as first rate. Would I prefer to get a beer with one? In all probability not. However I by no means questioned if they might undermine the complete democratic experiment that’s America. Right now’s GOP is totally different.
They go together with regardless of the President needs to do even when it undermines their very own authority. MAGA has so enveloped the GOP that it makes me marvel who, if anybody, will stand as much as the person who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I’ve an concept about who can do it, nonetheless. However it’s only a idea. Hear me out.
We’d like a good-looking, in form white man who guzzles beer however doesn’t appear to be it. He can’t come from the North as a result of which may make Republicans suspicious. He must be from the South: Texas, possibly. It could possibly’t be Mississippi or Alabama as a result of Black people are usually suspicious of individuals from these states. A Matthew McConaughey sort minus the banging on bongos in the course of the evening whereas excessive on Za.
I don’t know who that shall be. Given all of the animosity to DEI, it may possibly’t be an Obama sort. And regardless of the variety of ladies in Trump’s orbit, his base appears suspicious of a girl having an excessive amount of energy.
So, a white dude from Texas who’s keen to face as much as Trump whereas not alienating the President’s base. That’s what we want. And now that marijuana is broadly accepted, possibly McConaughey might really do it. He certain as hell hasn’t been in an excellent film for some time. And final yr, he was toying with the concept.
