My reply to a Washington Post Bluesky post on Trump’s influence

The Post has been part of the problem. They have some good writers but their ownership and leadership has shifted to right. Many Post employees have left. I trust their judgement.

I knew the Supreme Court would cave in to Trump but I have been very disappointed by the behavior of some law firms and universities. They will learn that Trump treats compliance as weakness and will keep asking for more.

"Trump's influence over the Republican Party’s base and showman’s command of the bully pulpit might allow him to exert unusual influence over the nation’s direction," the Editorial Board writes. wapo.st/44GbYoS

He has been helped by the cowardice of mainstream media, law firms, universities and the Supreme Court. Polls show that most of his policies are popular only with his cult. Still, he has defied popular opinion and the law to impose them on us.
