@markmetz #DonaldTheDeplorable has never read, let alone written, a book. But he certainly imitates the autocrats that he sees on TV!

However, one thing he’s done that a smart #dictator would *never* do is slash the most valued benefit of his base, and one that is most concentrated in the same places as his strongest political support. #Medicaid is the literal lifeline for the #MAGA cult, especially in #RedStates and ‘ruby red’ districts.

#USpol #Resist intelligently.

On January 6th 2021, Donald Trump refused to send the National Guard to take down the insurrectionists who were violently attacking the Capitol. Trump didn’t care about the safety of those at the Capitol or the crimes committed by the attackers.

August 2025 Trump sent the National Guard into D.C for no reason. Crime is down, there is no threat or attack on the Capitol.

The irony is sickening.

US PRESIDENT SENDS MILITARY TO OCCUPY CAPITAL CITY

President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of the Washington, D.C., police force and plans to deploy the National Guard in the nation’s capital. As crime in D.C. hits the lowest level in decades, Trump said he was declaring a public-safety emergency and taking control under Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act
