Trump is like sponge to whomever happens to be standing next to him in the moment. And political acts follow. It explains his rxn to Momdani, regardless of how pretty and charismatic Momdani is. Flip flopping on Russia-Ukraine. Suddenly placing sanctions on a country he doesn’t care about (first term) because Ivanka showed him pics of dead refugee children.

Right now, it’s Miller and Vought.

We all knew he was easy to influence but it’s worse than we’d ever originally imagined. Worse now with his cognitive decline. Trump has no agenda. He’s just an empty shell of a megaphone for the person standing next to him.

He is quite literally a puppet at this point. It’s like weekend at Bernie’s but his heart (such as it is) hasn’t stopped beating yet.
