Suddenly plans to take a chainsaw to Fema, the federal emergency management agency, no longer look so appealing after the weather turned against Trump, with catastrophic floods in Texas killing at least 120 people. Now officials say plans to ditch or cull the agency will amount to more of a “rebranding” exercise and the national weather service is rehiring after Elon Musk’s Doge cuts.
Chief among these is the war in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has given Trump a public drubbing by launching lethal bombing raids on the civilian population. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people. But the conflict has also exposed a fault-line in the Maga movement over the meaning of “America First”. It has led to chaos in the Pentagon and a split between US isolationists and interventionists – who all think they are representing Trump’s true wishes.
“I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” he replied.
Colby could be forgiven for thinking he was simply following the President’s wishes. Words are supposed to have meaning and Trump has stiffed Ukraine often enough in the past. But Colby had forgotten the Humpty Dumpty rule in Trump’s looking-glass world.
For Trump, “America First” means whatever he wants it to. “Well, considering that I’m the one that developed ‘America First’ and considering that the term wasn’t used until I came along,” Trump told The Atlantic rather fancifully (given its 1930s origins), “I think I’m the one that decides that.”
Congress is hoping to carry Trump’s threat to impose sanctions on countries that purchase Russian oil if Putin refuses to negotiate peace, but they’ll need to be quick about it. Trump says he is “strongly considering” backing a bipartisan bill after complaining about “a lot of bullshit” being thrown about by Putin in their last phone call, but could change his mind at any time.

The Iranian president clearly likes to play as fast and loose with words as Trump. In his interview, he told Carlson: “When [Iranians] say ‘Death to the United States’… they don’t mean death to the people of the United States or even to the officials of the United States.”
Sometimes Trump lives in the real world, where Ukraine is under siege and Russia is the aggressor. Sometimes being president means facing the truth. This is one such time. If only we knew which Trump was going to show up every morning in the Oval Office.
