[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump played Musk masterfully, as he has played so many other people. He set things up such that if Musk succeeded at DOGE, Trump would automatically share the credit as the one who tasked Musk. If Musk failed, Musk would be the fall guy for DOGE and anything else Trump wanted to blame him for and, Musk's loss of credibility would mean anything he later said would be dismissed as a disgruntled ex-crony's ranting.

Trump has a talent for selecting egomaniacs to set up as Patsies. It tells me that he must have way more self-awareness and self-control than he lets on. It's not very often that egomaniacs are able to restrain themselves effectively enough to tolerate and play the long con with other egomaniacs.  [/quote]

Let's get real here. Trump does not even know what is going on.

Trump was never smart enough, is far to impulsive for this kind of planning and, quite frankly, does not care.

Miller and Vought call the shots but everyone hates them. Trump is popular. They need him or they'd never have any power. As long as he gets to stay out of jail and play golf and pretend to be in charge, Trump doesn't care what happens. The smart people in the room played Musk.[/quote]
