Each time I read “Trump orders”, “Trump does X”, I always ask myself: “Wait, can he do that? Congress? House? Judiciary? Cheks? Balances? Hellooooooooooo…?”…

… but this is still the first few months of his second term. At this pace, he will be a literal king in a few more months.

A scary prospect to say the least, and I hope it’s not too late for America to do something about this. This should not be normalized. This cannot be normalized.

Even if it isn’t that… that’s not how you change your position on something.

The normal way would be:

1. Admit that you are changing your stance on something (Zelensky is not a dictator, even though I previously said he is)
2. Refer to something that changed your position on the matter (“When I said he is a dictator, I did not know that…”)
3. Explain how it changes your view (“This new information has convinced me that…”)

But saying “Oh, I said that?” is just… dumb and pathetic. Not that it’s surprising, coming from him.
