Reposted by Peter DunkleyThe Empty City @davidallengreen.bsky.social · 06/04/2025The policy of the US under Trump can be fairly summarised in three impulses. To be cruel to those they can be cruel. To intimidate those whom they can intimidate. And to gain leverage in respect of those they want to manipulate. Almost everything comes down to one or more of these impulses. 2398111
