‘Grow a spine’: ‘Everyday Americans’ bash ultra-powerful figures who are caving to Trump

A recent report by the Financial Times, by national editor and columnist Edward Luce, revealed that President Donald Trump’s “supremacy” is so significant that he has managed to scare some of the most powerful people in America. “What has changed is simple: people are scared of crossing Trump this time,” Luce wrote. “In researching this piece, I interviewed dozens of figures, including lawmakers, private sector executives, retired senior military figures and intelligence chiefs, current and former Trump officials, Washington lawyers and foreign government officials. Such is the fear of jail, bankruptcy or professional reprisal, that most of these people insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people also wanted to emphasise that Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices opposing him publicly. At times, it has felt like trying to report on politics in Turkey or Hungary.”That one excerpt prompted significant backlash from those who have been unafraid to stand up to Trump and reinforce their beliefs. “I cannot make this clear enough,” began national security lawyer Bradley P. Moss. “I have not stayed silent. Others, who face far greater and graver threats than me, have not stayed silent. There are plenty who are standing up, from everyday Americans to the expert ‘elites’. Those who are caving shall be shamed for all time.””Approximately seven million people were out in the streets protesting last week. These people need to grow a spine,” Atlantic law and democracy writer Quinta Jurecic wrote on Bluesky. “Important piece from Ed Luce in the FT today. From today’s vantage point, Trump’s first term looks like a model of constitutional restraint,” Tech Policy Press editor and CEO Justin Hendrix wrote. “Tough and chilling, but important read here,” pointed out UMBC political scientist Tom Schaller.Jaso Sattler, longtime progressive influencer and political satirist LOLGOP, commented, “This, from Ed Luce, is such clarity on what our current crisis has in common with the War on Terror and the Great Recession: the elites suck at assessing the real risks to their comfort. And they’d rather go down with Trump than be caught opposing him.”Read the full column here. Continue reading ‘Grow a spine’: ‘Everyday Americans’ bash ultra-powerful figures who are caving to Trump

Steve Bannon drops stunning prediction about 2028: ‘There’s a plan’

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon made a stunning prediction about President Donald Trump’s chances of running again in 2028 during an interview with The Economist on Thursday. Bannon, who hosts the MAGA podcast “The War Room,” said during the interview that Trump is an “instrument of divine will” and that the country needs him to be president for “at least one more term.” Trump has made passing remarks about running again in 2028, but some have speculated that he won’t run because of his old age. “Well, he’s going to get a third term, so Trump ’28. Trump is going to be president in 2028,” Bannon said. “But what about the 22nd Amendment?” Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, asked, referring to the amendment that limits presidential terms to two. ‘There are many different alternatives for 2028, but people haven’t accommodated them yet,” Bannon said. “There are many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we will lay out the plan, but there’s a plan, and President Trump will be president in 2028. The country needs him to be president of the United States, and we need him to finish what we’ve started,” he continued. “And the way we finish it is through Trump. He’s a vehicle of divine providence.”. Continue reading Steve Bannon drops stunning prediction about 2028: ‘There’s a plan’
