He was and never will be in control.

What we see, hear and read has always been scripted.

He's a puppet, like so many before him.
No one with an ounce of intelligence would write the scripts Trump comes out with. He always sounds as though he’s confused and is just saying the first thing that comes into his head.

The man has not one idea in his head on how to conduct himself, everything he has said has been suggested beforehand.
 
I was listening to a podcast recently and an insider said if there's an issue Trump is undecided on he will get the two sides in a room to debate it and he makes his decision based off the debate. I have said all along the man isn't an ideological person, he is fueled by a vague concept of making America better which of course is subjective he also treats the issues and relationships like a business because that is all he knows.

Wild vid on BBC News of the coppers deliberately shooting a reporter with a rubber bullet while she's live on air. Feels like an incredibly dicey moment.
Just seen that. Clearly aims at her and fires despite clearly not being a threat. If that happened to a American journalist in a foreign country they'd sanction the life out of them.
 
Nope. That ship sailed a long time ago, no clue where we go from here to be honest.

Trump reminds me of Mel Brooks describing how, when he first started out, he'd play the Jewish country clubs.

Some of the elderly Jews would start singing 'Dancing in the Dark' but in much too high a key ...

... after three or four key changes they'd strain to reach the note, have a heart attack and have to be carted off <laugh>

That's Trump all over, started off at a crescendo and can't stop because it would look like he's run out of puff.

Quite sad when the future of civilisation relies on a cardiac arrest.

A man who allegedly threw rocks at law enforcement vehicles during protests in Paramount, California has landed on the FBI's most wanted list.

The agency is asking for the public's help in identifying the man for "assaulting a federal officer" and "damaging government property'.

The suspect is pictured in photos wearing a cap and bandana across his face and climbing on top of a car.

The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information about him, saying he is considered "armed and dangerous".

I don't think he's losing control at all. He's taking ever greater control, using his power to override the long established laws of the world's leading democracy and taking away the freedoms and civil rights of anyone who might disagree with him.

This is a key moment in the future of America.

If we see reciprocal demonstrations across the country, it will be hard for Trump to shut that down with force, though there would be some nasty and violent clashes with civilians on the far right taking the opportunity to take matters into their own hands.

If we see The National Guard successfully oppress the people, then I think we've witnessed the beginning of the end for American democracy.

The best (safest) outcome is that the California governor manages to settle things down and stand up for his people, becoming the leading Democratic hope in the process. Newsom is someone who can win the next election (if there is one).
We should stop buying America can goods where possible. I don’t want to support the economy of a fascist state.
