Isn’t Voice of America just American propaganda, spreading free market fundamentalism? That was always my (limited) understanding of it. Yes? No?

@kdwarn Yes.

And I think it's really worth emphasizing that a lot of what Trump is doing is actually relinquishing power. This is a great example of it.

He's undermining himself, undermining his own ability to influence the country and the world, with moves like this.

I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, it is what it is, and it's worth noticing.

@volkris well then, excellent. The dumbass is a dumbass and sometimes that is good.

@kdwarn I just wish we could all get on the same page about it, because if we emphasized what an impotent loser Trump has been according to his track record, he never would have been elected again.

Unfortunately Democrats kept building him up as this great leader succeeding in leading his people, when he never was, and so his people voted for him again.

The dumbass is a dumbass. We should have spent the last years pointing that out instead of acting like he knew what he was doing.
