Nah. What he wants is bossing others around and taking revenge on people and things that bothered him, or going after things he thinks give him an advantage. That's usually by bullying people until they give up and do what he wants. His voters like DEI? Bully and force things until it's stamped out. Justice convicted him, so break justice. Consequences for jobs and the economy, or even the law, don't matter to him.

The feeling is mutual. The majority of people in the EU are downgrading USA to "necessary partner" now and one fifth sees USA as an ally. Two thirds feels cooperation should be reduced.

Well played Putin, well played.

Even the Little Ice Age had bad consequences, and that was 1-2 °C cooling.

"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

And if the out-group touches the in-group, the consequences shall be severe.

Journalists called it the Great Grovel. Trump looked sternly at one university and they all collectively went on their knees with "Thy bidding m'lord" on their lips.

Mostly build a profile so they know what ads to show you, and a few helpful features such as telling you have to go to get to your flight or appointment on time by reading the confirmation mail. These days also for your AI assistent.

"Your survival is politically and economically non viable"

Of course not. AI need a purpose, something to work for and take care of, and humans are needy little critters.

Every service you depend on is being cut, and wealth extraction of the middle class is going into high gear to make the upper class richer. No reason to feel safe.

'criminals' is generally alt-speak for 'undesirables'

Nobody stopped him so far so he has every reason to try. Impeached, convicted, leaks, treason, of course sir go right ahead. Big law firms are bending the knee for Trump in the Great Grovel. It's all going as planned for him. Rule of Law and the constitution are going on the trash heap of history.
