The Chaos Presidency: A Warning Ignored
Olivia of Troye
Let me tell you, this has been one of the most infuriating weeks of my life. And that’s really saying something, considering I worked in Trump’s 1.0 White House. Since Inauguration Day, pretty much everything I had predicted would happen if Donald Trump returned to power has happened, and even some fierce Trump critics have been taken by surprise at the speed and ferocity (I have the texts to prove it). Mind you, I’m not saying any of this to gloat, because, believe me, I’d much rather be wrong. I just want to explain it if you catch me banging my head against the nearest wall.
On Monday, MSNBC published an op-ed from me on what I expected to see from Trump immediately upon taking office. The thing is, I’m no seer. Yes, I worked with Trump, and so I have some special insight that others do not. But at the end of the day, as I wrote in the piece, Trump is not inscrutable. On the contrary, he’s an easy read. He tells you exactly what he’s going to do. Unfortunately, people just don’t listen, don’t care, or choose to ignore the obvious.
To me, his key priorities were always crystal clear: revenge, immigration overhaul, and a draconian dismantling of the federal government. Suffice to say, on those fronts, he’s delivering with chilling precision. Perhaps the people who voted for him because of egg prices are feeling let down. But as Trump himself says, lowering the price of eggs was never his top priority. Sorry, folks. Oh and by the way, if you’re on Medicare or Medicaid, your prescription costs are about to skyrocket. This is the reality Trump promised, and unfortunately, he’s keeping his word!
So let’s go down the list and see how he’s doing…
