I could assassinate DJT in any number of ways, and never be blamed for it. Each of my assassination plots would be designed to weaken and confuse the MAGA folk and steer the political narrative in exactly the direction I set for it.
But I would NOT assassinate DJT. I would exploit his fame and influence for my agenda.
My first step would be to wear him down mercilessly with unjust lawfare. Countless harassment lawsuits. Countless run-ins with lawless judges who would bully him into exhaustion. The frivolous cases would carry the very real threat of taking away his financial empire and forcing him into prison until he was 89 years old. Yes, we would make provision for a Secret Service detail to operate near his cell, but prison is prison. It’s lonely. No more Trump rallies. No more flatterers in the executive suite.
Yes, he has been characteristically defiant of all the injustice. He has punched a few bullies in the nose. For now, the lawsuits and mugshots strengthen his base support, even with Blacks and Hispanics and Zoomers. All the better for my overall plan.
But today, finally, the endless subpoenas are wearing him down. It’s almost time to act.
At his weakest point I would step in for the art of the deal. A very simple deal: I would throw all my influence behind him to give him a landslide victory mandate in the November election. Guaranteed. I would also tell the unjust courts to back off.
What does he give me in return? Two very simple things. My choice for (a Deep State) VP, and my choice for (a Deep State) Chief of Staff, who will guide him in personnel and daily policy decisions.
In this way all my policies would be championed by a popular, aggressive personality, who will not be suspected of being a compromised, “insider,” puppet politician. MAGA folks would be on my side and never suspect it.
Conclusion:
If you see DJT choosing a deeply establishment someone like Tim Scott for VP, or Susan Wiles for Chief of Staff, you might well wonder if he accepted my offer to make his life easier, and my promises to support him as the next president. And support him I would. With all the assets of the Deep State. Until, of course, as president, he breached the terms of the deal. Then the VP is my instantaneous remedy. My convenient insurance policy.
Fixing immigration policy will require intelligence, delicacy and patience. A government truly determined to stop the boats and to deport illegal entrants will need to derogate, at least in part, from numerous international treaties – not just the ECHR, but all those cited by pro-immigration judges, including the Refugee Convention and possibly the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It will need to scrap a mass of domestic laws, including the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act. It will need to override the current system of judicial review and create a mechanism to remove partisan judges.
Doing these things will make Brexit look straightforward. The human rights Blob will fight tooth and nail to maintain, not just its influence, but its livelihood. Overcoming that resistance will consume most of a new government’s energies for an entire Parliament and will require immense tactical dexterity.
The trouble is that almost no one is interested.

According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.
That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly use simple cash accounting, only recognizing expenses when they’re paid. As a result, discourse on federal obligations solely focuses on the national debt, comprising Treasury bills, notes and bonds.

ChatGPT Eroding Critical Thinking Skills, According to a New MIT Study:
"Of the three groups, ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and 'consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.'
Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.
"The task was executed, and you could say that it was efficient and convenient," Kosmyna says. "But as we show in the paper, you basically didn’t integrate any of it into your memory networks."
