I mean, it can be both, but it does not matter, just like the disposition of the starts does not matter, and who talks about it, distract from the real problems, and real solutions.
Chess Grandmasters play exhibitions of simultaneous chess with one, two dozen opponents at once. Is there a trick?
Well, yes there is. Of course, you must play well and know your openings.
Part of the agreement is that the Grandmaster plays White on all boards. They get the first move, like Trump is doing.
Second, White plays the same opening move on all boards, like the White House is doing. For some openings, there really is only one superior countermove for each of the first eight moves. If the opponent doesn’t know the Ruy Lopez opening’s initial best moves, the opponent will inevitably blunder and lose within a few moves.
Here is where Black either must know the best moves already as well; or if not, use good chess tactics to reply, and force White away from the memorized standard and to have to use genuine skill.
Trump is playing the same move, the same opening, on many chess boards. Each board demands vigorous counterplay by Black.
Birthright citizenship? Already a draw for Trump. Firing Inspectors-General? A vigorous counterattack in the courts.
The goal for each Black player is to resist the opening attack, and force White off his plan, so that each game is different. Effective counterplay forces White to have to analyze a dozen or so uniquely different games, rather than simply the same game against a dozen individuals.
Pretty soon, each of these Executive Orders will be isolated and unique. What was terrifying on move four is quite evenly matched on move ten.
He won’t be able to pay that much attention to each board. There simply won’t be enough time.
Resist, resist, resist - watch for a blunder and exploit it.

Trump is putting Stalin's words into action: quantity has its own quality. They are throwing every red thing against the wall - if it sticks, then it is spaghetti. We would be wise to 1. Observe and note all actions of this crazed set of fanatics. 2. Establish a central clearing house for making sure the significant incoming is dealt with by competent actors. 3. Reach out and coordinate with our allies 4. Stop pearl clutching and hyperventilating- none of the orders are near reality until the or a court has spoken. And shame on Google maps. Gulf of America indeed. Ignore this performative blather and fucus on Trmp's crazed attack on institutions.
The election was just the beginning and America failed…but we’re now at another consequential moment in history. Strap in.
And hold tight!
My gut tells me he blasted past stage 4 dementia on the campaign trail. He's tipping away at 5 now.
This isn't just my view, this is Mary Trump talking so why isn't this more of a story - or a tool to bludgeon Trump with.
The point is, when he get's hit , he hit's back harder.
We need to hit him where it hurts so all he has time to do is duck and run.
We also need to assemble on the National Mall like Ukrainians.
I'm in.
Who's with me ?
No, it's not dementia, nor it is any psyche.
I mean, it can be both, but it does not matter, just like the disposition of the starts does not matter, and who talks about it, distract from the real problems, and real solutions.
Including the inflation — and other burdens. One of the goals of Trump, Musk, Vivek is to make regular Americans poor so they can’t resist.
🗝️ to process is that regardless of the point, these behaviors = pathological narcissism.
Putin could accuse him of plagiarism or at least, being a copycat wannabe 🤔

Absolutely. And let's be encouraged by the accelerating debate!
Exactly.
