Trump deflects about “2025,” a plan that brings misery to many

Donald Trump gave a speech in 2022 saying  his former staff with the Heritage Foundation were working on his action plan for 2025. Now in 2024 when the plan was released he first said 1) he doesn’t know what 2025  proposes but 2) in the next sentence wished them luck.

I am not affected by provisions about birth control or IVF etc. but I am concerned about my Social Security, for example.

The Plan is equal opportunity. There’s something, somewhere, in this detailed blue print which will somehow bring hardship and misery to almost everybody except the very rich and powerful.

Of course, Donald never knows anything definite about anything until he does it. He seems he simply doesn’t want people to be freaked out if they read it and realize it’s radical and serious.

This makes me think that sometime I should write about how 2025 and the recent SOTUS absolute immunity decision overlap with the German Enabling Acts of 1933. They were behind Hitler’s stranglehold on Germany that led to WW II. (e.g. Above the law, consolidating  absolute control by installing tens of thousands of  followers in positions of power and being able to jail people by deciding they are enemy combatants.)

Or write about 2025 and how, while Biden hosted NATO, Trump countered by having Putin’s ally Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, over as a house guest. (In successive weeks Orbán visited both his “friends.”)

It appears we will have  an election between two old men.  But there is a huge difference them. One old man always brags, pounds the table about how terrible things are, and deflects and plays both sides – like not knowing about the Proud Boys and very similarly “2025.” The other old man you could have a pleasant time with drinking a beer.
