I don't believe that for one second. They've got a Project 2025 playbook written by some smarter people that makes them almost look competent. But they aren't even doing that great of a job of it. The whole lot appear to be as dumb as a box of rocks from my PoV.

    Consider the possibility that Trump's real goal is to destabilize the US, destroy its democracy and civil liberties, and turn it into a Russian-style oligarchy and vassal state of Russia.

    Given that assumption, what mistake has he made that detracts from that goal?

    It's a bad assumption. I could just say the same thing with the hypothesis about him being dumb.

    It also ignores the fact that he's not alone. He's got pretty much the whole government doing the thing. But I'm sure you'll say they're all looking to do the same thing.

    I think his only goal is his own enrichment and power. I doubt he even cares about his legacy.
