Thank you Mr Kristol, for pointing out that this new Trump Administration will be dominated by Stephen Miller, Russel Vought, and JD Vance. This group of people will provide focus and discipline that did not exist in the last Administration. They won't distracted by flattery or misdirection as the soon to be president is and they won't take their eyes off their goals in pursuit of photo ops and viral quotes.

As to Musk's mother...well now we see some of the roots of his psyche.

You’re absolutely correct about Vance, et al. in terms of discipline and focus. They also come with Thiel’s money and influence and god knows what else.

But, even if (and maybe because) they’ll run operational circles around Trump, at the end of the day, Trump will be the King (sorry, President) and can plausibly have them, um…disposed of.

If Trump senses he’s being sidelined or gets his narcissistic fee-fees in a twist, as long as he acts within his Presidential duties, the Supremes have his back on giving Seal Team 6 certain “sensitive” missions.

And I have absolutely no clue which is worse; a takeover by the minions, or Trump declaring “off with their heads”.

Sigh.
