Agreed. We cannot know the palace coup or anyone's true motives, but there are many things he could have done if a political solution were possible that haven't been or cannot be done at this time. I don't think there's any fixing the GOP, tbh. Muh cheap labor mmmmmmm.

For all we know he truly was /ourguy/ and not the feckless Boomer we have seen but got a nice 'talking to' early on. If this were the case, political option nonviable.

Even that conclusion isn't warranted. From what we've seen I conclude he's /ourguy/ and has been stymied and is fighting to gain control of enough levers of power to actually do what needs to be done.

Why would a guy who "got a good talking to" [leading to him giving up and playing a role] even bother to meet with enlisted SpecOps guys? The internal pressures on the left means that Trump is fighting for his life and he can see that as well as we can.

When I say "internal pressure" I mean that even though no one on the left wants to put Trump in a "fight or die" situation they're compelled to push harder and harder to stay to the left of the rest of the egregore for their own safety.

That's part of my argument; that these forces exist in the left and that Trump sees them. The other part is that Trump keeps doing things that look like him trying to gain power rather than things that he would do if he had power - from that I conclude he's still fighting.

To fight he needs allies and some of the men who are useful to him are Aldenson and I have zero problem with allowing Israel to be free of State Department influence - things like acknowledging Jerusalem as the capital are fine with me. He didn't go to war with Iran or in Syria.
