Never let it be said that Donald Trump hasn’t been upfront about his intentions in governing the United States. Well, except for all the times that he promised (aka lied) to eliminate the debt, and preserve Social Security, and end every foreign war, and offer a better healthcare plan, and bring companies back to America, and rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, and, ultimately, to make America great.

But other than that, Trump has indeed been forthright about his aspirations for authoritarian rule, his affinity for foreign dictators, his blueprint to make himself and his wealthy pals richer, his determination to foul the environment, opposition to reproductive choice, his determination to suppress the free press that he despises, and his preference for golf, television, and the celebrity life to the hard work of governing.
FOR INSTANCE: PINO TRUMP: A President-In-Name-Only Who Spends More Time on TV and Golfing than Presidenting
Trump’s White House staff adoringly lives up to the working example that he sets for dishonesty and shallowness in his administration. And no one better exemplifies his model of slothery than his White House Counsel, and former parking lot lawyer, Alina Habba. Despite her titular role as a legal aide, Habba spends most of her time as a MAGA spokesmodel on Fox News, where she was Tuesday morning saying this…
“This is what we’re about. We’re running this county like President Trump runs the Trump Organization. Like Elon Musk running X. That’s what we’re doing. And if you want your budget balanced, if you want to not have a deficit, who better to do so than a businessman who understands how to make money, how to spend money, and how to get out of debt. And that’s what we’re gonna do.”
Alina Habba: This is what we're about. We're running this county like President Trump runs the Trump Organization. Like Elon Musk running X. That's what we're doing.
HOLY SHIH TZU! Not that. Anything but that. Habba is promising that Trump will run the country the way he and Musk run their businesses. Unfortunately, it’s well known that Trump has been an absolutely dreadful businessman. He bankrupted four casinos. He headed up a long list of consumer products failures, including steaks, air travel, vodka, magazines, board games, and more. Even his real estate ventures are flops, with many just being licensing deals for his name, which has been removed from several of them to avoid the taint of his toxic association.
It is impossible to talk about Trump’s alleged business without noting the monumental failure of his Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT). Its share price has declined 60% from its high in the past year. It declined 40% just since his inauguration a month ago. And the cryptocurrency coin he launched a couple of days before his inauguration has cratered 80%. Virtually everyone who has invested in a Trump enterprise has lost bigly. Except, of course, for Trump.

As for Musk, he paid $44 billion for Twitter a little more than two years ago. Now, as a private company, it is valued at about $12.3 billion, a loss of 72%. Even his flagship Tesla has lost a bundle, dropping from $480 per share in mid December, to about $300.00, a decline of 37%. And his phony Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has proven to be drag on the economy with thousands of job losses, and even cuts to revenue generating agencies like the IRS.
What’s more, Trump’s pre-election pledges to improve the nation’s economy have all proven to be more of his trademark bluster and bullpucky. Rather than eliminating inflation, increasing manufacturing, and lowering prices for everything from eggs to gasoline, things have been going in the opposite direction. Consumer confidence is plummeting. Consumers are expecting a recession. And retail sales are falling.

So what Trump and Habba are actually promising now is more of the same disastrous mismanagement that has hobbled their personal businesses. Consequently, comments like those by Habba on Fox News sound more like threats than promises.
