Takeover

Hitler advances in 1938

If the United States were a company and Trump World a conglomerate, Project 2025 would rank as the greatest corporate takeover in American History. In the process the country has moved from a democracy to a state whose ideology can only be defined as value free transactionalism. Remember how Neville Chamberlain was appeased by Herr Hitler before the Nazis invaded the Sudetenland? In New York Trump recently announced he is taking over the 9/11 memorial and the mayoral election (by removing Mamdani). In Chicago he's insuring the National Guard will be brought in by overrunning the city with ICE agents, a tried and true way of fomenting unrest. He illustrated his Truth Social post with the famous scene of the three helicopters from Apocalypse Now.The Defense Department has been renamed the Department of War. He’s written American history at The Smithsonian and appointed himself as chairman of The Kennedy Center. Will one of the first productions be a musical based on The Apprentice? Will the film series be inaugurated with D.W Griffith’s Birth of a Nation replete with the infamous lynching scene? When Trump appeared at the US Open, he ordered the three networks not to record the boos and they complied. He's lobbying for a Nobel peace prize for wavering in Ukraine while officiating over the destruction of Gaza. Look at it this way. There is no Department of Education. The CDC and HSS have been decimated  and no trans woman will ever compete in collegiate sports. Not bad for a couple hundred days work.
