Scott Bessent: “We have people coming in at 6:00am and leaving at 10:00pm. I think with the president’s leadership, I’m trying to push the government to do what the private sector does and to do what everyday Americans do – come in, work hard, do your job and push the country forward.”

This quote is not surprising. Each of the actors in the process of dismantling the United States, Alito, Thomas, Trump, Vaught, Bessant, Hegseth, Musk, Altman, and the others, thinks they are in charge and cleverly manipulating everyone else. apnews.com/article/alit...

"Yes. If the comparison is specifically about rhetorical themes concerning national identity, immigration, ancestry, blood, and who properly belongs to the national community, the rhetoric associated with Trump's second term provides substantially closer parallels to Nazi rhetoric.."

Prompt for ChatGPT:"Compare the text of the inauguration speech given by Donald trump in January of 2017 with the text of speeches given by Adolf Hitler. There is at least one where the tone and ideas are very similar." Answer:"There is a striking thematic and rhetorical resemblance.." See ALT text
Trump's inaugural address uses a remarkably similar narrative structure, although in an American democratic context.
1. The old political establishment betrayed ordinary people
Trump:
“For too long, a small group in our nation's Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.”

He follows that with the parallel construction that Washington prospered while ordinary Americans did not:
“Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs.”

Trump then announces that this arrangement ends immediately and that power is being returned to the people. Trump White House Archives
Hitler's February 10 speech similarly spends considerable time blaming the governments of the preceding fourteen years for Germany's condition. He describes inflation, taxation, bankruptcies, unemployment and economic destruction and attributes them to the political system that preceded his government. European History
The common rhetorical construction is approximately:
Old political system → elites failed/betrayed the population → ordinary people suffered → new movement represents the people → national restoration begins now.
That is one of the strongest similarities.
2. “Forgotten” people become the center of the new government
Trump:
“The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.”

And:
“This is your day. This is your celebration.”

Trump describes his election as a mass movement of people who previously had not been heard:
“You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.”

He says the central principle of the movement is that “a nation exists to serve its citizens.” Trump White House Archives
Hitler likewise presents the new government not simply as another administration but as a movement representing the German Volk as a whole.  ...
...
..
TRY THE PROMPT FOR YOURSELF! It will provide a slightly different answer each time.

Ha! This is great! Trump says he banned CNN, Politico, and MSNOW from the White House because they published "𝑓𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑤𝑠". But in the White House response to the law suite, they accuse the media outlets of "𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think Trump really believed that by banning CNN from the White House, its reporters were no longer able to cover any others events where he appeared. Because he's bat-shit crazy.

So to be clear, the United States gets very little of it's oil from the Middle East. And the U.S. is producing more oil than it ever has. Why are we paying more at the gas pump? BECAUSE U.S. OIL COMPANIES WANT TO MAKE HUGE PROFITS.

Let's just settle this.
Let’s just settle this, shall we?
If you want to debate in broad terms about the values of socialism and capitalism, you have to recognize the absolute, historically proven truth about the concepts. If you can’t accept this, you’re just not participating reasonable debate. 
The best way to produce wealth and increase the standard of living of nations over years is well regulated capitalism plus public investment in physical infrastructure, and social programs such as education, public health, and safety nets. There. That’s it. Anything else is in the details about how to implement it, so arguing over capitalism vs. socialism is just a distraction.
