6. The agenda dilemma

Trump when he is needed to lead MUST do things his crazy way, then go back to bed, then wander around Truth Social. One side of the job blade is killing him, the necessity to have him doing ANYTHING is killing everything else. Exploitation is the only thing keeping Trump and his doomed handlers going at all. They probably fear a rested, revived and involved Trump more than the mad baby that runs amok every time he takes temporary "charge" of anything- much less one of his personal pet projects. There is a vast vacuum and discontent coming, and though that is something the right wings loves to exploit contrary to all true reason, they may just retreat to their financial hegemony- and other countries.

Keeping him from firing people down to further useless sycophancy. Keeping him from blowing all foreign and economic policy. From brutalizing all American institutions and positive values. Keeping him from realizing he is being diverted or handled. Supporting his crazy ideas while not overly following up. Everyone out for themselves in the financial rape. Trying to save Congress on the side. This is truly expensive for his big backers to fix but Trumpism lets them more than afford it.

More the final corruption of the spoiled figurehead than anything left of policy.
