Still not convinced this isn't theatre for our consumption, but I'd love to see this happen.
- Remember, Trumps employs the wife of and is personal friend of Vince McMahon, the owner of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
  This does look an awful lot like wrestling drama.
  
  Indeed. Trump IS an Entertainer and has been in the showbiz industry for quite some time, so it wouldn't surprise me that this is all just a show and we're being taken for a ride. But he is also an egotistical prick so this might actually be for real. I'm just not going to hold my breath or let myself be distracted by this side-show from the shit the Shitgibbon and his merry band of miscreants are pulling out.
  
  I challenge you to go back and watch her on-screen role during the late 90s and early 2000s. By all accounts from every shoot video on Youtube, the woman backstage was just like what you saw on screen: Wooden, devoid of charisma, and lacking anything resembling independent thought. Her entire role as CEO of the company was simply to sign off on whatever Vince McMahon did while he touted her as a beacon of progress for having a woman as CEO.
  This woman does not possess the intelligence or creativity to come up with such a scheme.
  (As a side note: Vince McMahon sold his company to the same people who run UFC, and then was driven out of the company as the result of numerous scandals. He no longer has any ties to WWE, outside of ownership of about 3% of common, non-voting stock.)

  I didn’t know that. Funny how the UFC owner is also in Trump’s inner circle.
- The only way it could be theater is if all three of them are world class actors who have stayed entirely in character for years.
  It's simply far more likely that all three of them are, just ss they appear, thin-skinned, emotionally stunted manchildren, currently engaged in a schoolyard slapfight.
  
  Trump is a world-class actor who has stayed entirely in character for years. I could see the other two playing their parts at Trump and his merry band of miscreants' direction. Remember. They need us to forget about gutting Medicaid (and Medicare), the billionaire tax cuts, the raiding of the public space for loose money so they can fund those tax cuts, and the imposition of a right-wing religious autocracy on us. Don't lose track of that as you enjoy the entertainment this show gives you. That's all I'm saying.
  PS: I do agree that they're thin-skinned, emotionally stunted man-children, but they're also conniving bastards, and they want you focused on the drama....
  
  … just ss they appear …
  This also works.
  
  Yeah, this doesn't seem orchestrated and is fucking hilarious.
- ~~Banning~~ Bannon definitely took notes from Roger Stone. It will be interesting to find out what this particular plan is, eg which part of p 2025 this is advancing (past more fossil fuel dependency, while knowing they're depleted).
  
  Yep. Don't lose sight of the ball. They're trying to pull a fast one on us.
  
  They aren't trying, they're succeeding.
- Idk man these folks have some pretty wild egos.
  I dont think they'd be able to play the parts.
  
  And that's what they want you to think. They want you to underestimate them and focus on the public shitshow, while they quietly implement Project 2025 while you're distracted by the slapfest they're putting on for you in public.
  As I said above. They're a bunch of conniving bastards, and until I start seeing real things like Elon explaining exactly how Clark County in Nevada was stolen from the Left, or Trump actually cancel SpaceX contracts, or Musk abducted by ICE agents and sent to El Salvadore, I'm going to continue thinking this is all a WWE plot designed to distract us from the shitshow going on behind the scenes.
