    It seems like people are surprised that Trump might be more about his MAGA base than appealing to the status quo.

    And wassup about his opposing the Deep State? Is he now some kinda radical prepper?

    Think about this - if someone sent their goons to raid your house and go through your wife’s underwear drawer, how pissed would you be?

    Then when you’re calling out their crimes they shoot at your head and barely miss your skull?

    You’d be pretty pissed off right?

    Now imagine you have the power of the Presidency to fight back

    What would you do?

    Right, and aren't the appointments for Deputy AG whatever, two lawyers who were specifically mistreated by the judge in one of Trump's cases?

    If there's not some serious Shock And Awe from those two, it will be a huge mistake.

    I can't understand why anybody thinks there's any difference between student loan debt and any debt that the successful or unsuccessful tradesman has. Etc.

    They are admitting that college is extremely overpriced at best and a waste of time at worst.
