The tendency for the MAGA faithful to sink into despair would be completely understandable after the past couple of weeks of economic decline and the continuing dismantling of the U.S. government. That RUD (“rapid unscheduled disassembly”) has been overseen by an ephemeral agency preposterously dubbed the “Department of Government Efficiency,” and led by an unelected billionaire pal of Donald Trump.

Trump’s “governing by chaos” method of mismanagement is producing precisely the sort of results that virtually every credible economist predicted way in advance. Both the stock market and the bond market took severe hits, depleting $6 trillion in assets, decimating the savings of millions of Americans, while setting up the uppercrusters to further enrich themselves.

in response to this fiscal fiasco, the Trump administration gathered their most reliable apostles and dispatched them to the MAGA media to spread their gospel. Leading the pack was Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who has made more appearances on Fox News than in the White House press room. On Thursday Leavitt sat for a friendly conversation with Fox’s Martha MacCallum. And she read solemnly from the Trump hymnal saying that…
“There’s great reason to be optimistic about America’s economy. Trust in President Trump. Look at what he did in his first term. Companies would be best served doing business right here in the United States.”
Leavitt: "Trust in President Trump. Look at what he did in his first term. Companies would be best served doing business right here in the United States."
And there you have it. All you need in order to be bathed in the glow of illusory optimism is to place your trust in Dear Leader, who is divine and infallible. And the evidence of his divinity is observed in his miracles of the past.
Just in case you’ve forgotten, During Trump’s first term he presided over the deaths of more than a million Americans due to the COVID pandemic that he grossly mismanaged. The economy was in tatters, and far worse off than every other industrialized nation. More businesses were shuttered than at any time in generations. And Trump was the first president in decades to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he began.
What’s more, Trump tried to extort the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to pressure him to dig up dirt on Joe Biden prior to the 2020 election that Trump still says (aka lies) was “rigged and stolen” from him. And Trump incited a violent and deadly riot by insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to undermine democracy and prevent the certification of Biden’s election. Both of those incidents resulted in his unprecedented two impeachments.
That’s the resume upon which Leavitt is asking you all to rely for confidence going forward in Trump’s second occupation of the White House. And her simplistic suggestion that every company would be better off doing business in the U.S. ignores all of the rational arguments for taking advantage of the many benefits of diversifying production internationally, including labor, real estate, transport, and natural resources.
Leavitt’s plea to the nation to “trust in Trump” is more of the sort of adoration that sets the Trump cult apart from other political movements. This subservient demand for blind devotion is a hallmark of the Trump cabal. It was further affirmed during another one of his adulatory Cabinet meetings where all of his Pharisees are required to demonstrate their veneration of the Master. And venerate they did. For instance…
- Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi lied that Trump was “overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority.” [Trump’s margin was one of the lowest ever]
- Treasury Sycophantry Scott Bessent celebrated the stock market being “Up two [days], down one is not a bad ratio.” [The stock market has been down five of the last six days]
- Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins gushed that “What you have assembled in your vision is a turning point in American history.” [That’s actually true, but for all negative reasons]
- Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler drooled “Mr President, on behalf of America’s manufacturers, I want to thank you…main street is grateful for you.” [Main Street in Moscow]
This is a typical Cabinet meeting for the Trump regime. There is virtually nothing done that advances the interests of the American people. It’s sole purpose is to inflate Trump’s massive yet fragile ego. Like most other cult leaders, he demands to be worshipped. And while his flock will obey, it’s increasingly clear that the American public will not.
