David Stockman on Whether Trump Will Really Make America Free and Prosperous Again

Excerpt:
"if there is one politicians in all of the Washington Swamp besides Senator Rand Paul who stands four-square for these essential principles, it is Congressman Thomas Massie, also of Kentucky. In fact, Tom Massie is so steadfast, learned and consistent on these matters as to be the very living embodiment of libertarian principles on the great stage of national politics.
And yet, and yet. In the face of what is a hugely debatable issue with respect to the latest continuing resolution (CR) tabled by Speaker Johnson, which is another total capitulation to Washington spending as usual, the Donald has now unleashed a vicious bully-boy attack on Rep Massie.
But for crying out loud, Donald, Congressman Massie has actually read every line of this 110 page abomination and knows that it provides spending authority of $1.658 trillion, which is 47% more than Big Spender Obama’s last budget. It will virtually cancel every dime DOGE has allegedly saved."
---------------------------------------
I respect Stockman, but Trump is not easy to understand. trump's actions on Massey do appear counter-productive and the budget is a mess, a total disaster in terms of spending.
So ... what are the Donald's real goals?
Is he trying to avoid Ron Reagan's fate (i.e., getting shot by the Deep State)?

needs guile to get things passed in the Senate
he is using DOGE to gain support, showing us all just how corrupt government has become, and be sure IT IS BOTH PARTIES to blame
at least 2 attempts to kill him
give him time and patience
i am not sure if it is possible to change what is coming, economic collapse worse that 1929
triggered by internal forces or external (Solar activity, massive Solar Flare)
1.658 trillion? and shrumhead in the senate wasn't happy?
. . . something else is going on, haven't had a bite of popcorn in the past week or so.
