As with everything this president does, this is a grift. It’s a way to siphon meaningfully more wealth from the American public, send it to billionaires, all while feeding the fear machine that fascists need to maintain power.

Given how obvious, predictable, and preventable all of this is, if the American public falls for it again, we probably deserve it. We deserve to suffer the consequences of our collective stupidity.

Wake the fuck up people.
