Trump blinks on tariffs in face of GOP resistance — but he hasn’t given up on his cult leader dreams
The most famous sects are known in history in the first place Final suicide actionsGroup poisoning in Jonestown, Davidians, and self -self of the sky gate. We know that these things happen, but they are still a mystery for most of us how the sect members reach this point. Why did they not press the output button soon, as their leader descended further The huge crazy that is not coherent? Why did they seek it, even when it became increasingly clear that he was putting the entire society on the path of self -destruction? Why did not more people express doubts or even confront the leader of worship before things became bad?
We get a convincing clarification on the national stage of how the community leader urges his followers to adhere to him, even when he loses his mind and his behavior becomes irregular and very dangerous. Almost every fans know in Capitol Hill that Donald TrumpThe customs tariff plan is a political suicide, but a few of them are ready to admit that the dear leader fully intends to see this foolishness until the end. Instead, most of them resemble the residents of Johnstown, and many who were hoping that Jim Jones would test their faith with every hadith that poisoned this, which allowed them to play until it was too late to save themselves.
But while the Republican Party is ahead of Trump’s worship, there are still some obstacles between Trump and the fantasies of Jim Jones. Republicans in Congress have no geographical isolated, which is the key to keeping the herd. Their links to the outside world, especially for the feverish components about high prices and the loss of savings, are withdrawing them away. Many Republican politicians are not real believers, but they occupy their “loyalty” to Trump, only their self -interest. As a result, there are a small but increasing number of Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate It started supporting bills for Trump’s identification forces. Currently, the pressure works. Wednesday, Trump agreed to “stop” for 90 days on most definitionsDuring the escalation of the trade war with China.

But this victory is small and short. In the risk it looks like a laughing left, the Republicans want to ignore, the Republican Party has what you may call a collective action problem. Trump has a Christian complex, which has grown only since she lost a dead bullet from July by his followers to “evidence” that he was chosen. Even when he had moments on his introductory obsession, his behavior is getting urgent in a more annoying way Compare himself precisely with David Corich. Social collapse actually indicates when “stop” is declared a decrease in the real mental state of Trump.

There were different failed efforts, both of the foundation and ingenuity members in the White House, to Trump’s sane choice to ignite the American economy as a kind of “strategy”. In a speech on Tuesday before the National Congress Committee (NRCC), Trump explained that it is just a malicious narcissist with his only goals is self -worship and the imposition of Baroque loyalty tests on his followers, that is, the entire Republican Party. “I see some rebel Republicans, a person who wants to wander, says:” I think Congress should take over negotiations. “Let me tell you, you are not negotiating as I negotiate.” He went up as the crowd laughed nervously To satisfy the dear leader. It has pretended that foreign leaders “call us to the top, accept my country -.”
“They are dying to conclude a deal.” Please, please sir, hold a deal. I will do anything, sir. ”He said, In a moment, we completely remember us at the end of the stage The community leaders suffer from a complete collapse between reality and their great illusions. “Be great!” We are barking on the social truth on Wednesday, promising“Everything will work well. The United States will be larger and better than ever!” Then there is a confusing and chaotic “temporary stop”. All this seems to be the last stage of worship, when the heavy efforts of the leader to maintain control lead to escalating dictates and prophecies that become increasingly difficult for followers.
“There is no big plan or a strategic vision, regardless of what its advisers claim – only the impulsive measures of the crazy king,” Jamal Boy explained in the New York Times on Wednesday. He continued: “Trump’s tariff is not a policy as we understand it traditionally,” but an expression of Trump’s inability to “visualize any relationship between individuals, peoples or states as anything other than the case game, and a competition for domination.”
Republican behavior helps to clarify the dynamics of the group that makes it very difficult for members to prove the leader when he puts them on the way to commit suicide, whether literal or metaphorically (and it is until now everything that Republicans think). Few ready to be the person who was seen wondering about the dear wisdom of the dear leader, for fear that they will draw his anger and be distinguished for punishment. Instead, they resort to the negative language, in the hope that they can transfer their concerns without daring to ask whether the Maga Prophet is not the wise man who has lived at all.
“What is happening not good. Now will you continue?” Senator John Kennedy, R. La, said. , In a typical comment. “I think it is wrong to assume that we will be Senator Ted Cruz, R-TEX said. One may think that they are talking about the weather, rather than Trump’s deliberate choice. Billionaire Elon Musk tries a slightly different tactic To blame Trump’s adviser Peter Navarro, instead of Trump himself. What connects all this together is the fear of Trump’s criticism directly, instead, in the hope that all this gentle manual transformation and blaming their leader are giving the space he needs to stop madness.
Republicans will be a fool to treat this temporary suspension for 90 days as a great victory enough to justify a return to their holes, to hide from the anger of the dear leader. It is escalating and sees that these definitions are the final ground for its total stability of the Republican Party. It will continue to return to this well – which means economic turmoil, more securities market accidents, and more pancake components – unless this induction nonsense is fully placed on bed. Republicans need to realize, not to return to the conversation of comment, that this is the moment “hang together or hanging separately.” If enough of them joins the Democrats to pass a veto -resistant bill, Trump recounts his authority to pass the customs tariff, there is nothing that he can only do. The paradox is that they will save Trump from himself. But this may be a price worth paying to save the rest of us, including their party, in this process.
