Only STRONG MEN would Give In so easily to Insults! That's why I want TRUMP in Charge of our National Security and Economy!
Waiting for the day someone asks him to define strongman.
He would ramble for ten minutes about the border and immigration.
But certainly he would start by pointing out how some nebulous group of people are always calling him strong, and a man— a manly man even. He wouldn’t say that about himself. It’s the people who say it.
"You're the puppet."
It's kind of like he thought about spending the next four years with JD Vance, and then decided fuck it. I'll just go to jail.
So it was "exposed" that the stupid man with a fragile ego is easy to manipulate ... I think that most people, who are not in the alternative fact news bubble, knew this for years already. People have been widely comparing him to a toddler since his first year as president, and those people include his own aides/appointees. It was so common that someone even wrote a book about it: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/T/bo51128380.html.
So imo "exposed" is the wrong word, something like "demonstrated yet again" would have been better.
Trump exposed how corrupt government is with his inability to follow the corporate narrative. Radicals have known this for a long time. But, very few care about justice. Most are sated with perceptions of order and absence of tension.
