Actually, I think this has been carefully crafted to achieve the maximum benefit with small, perhaps seemingly bumbling, steps. I don't think trump has the intellect or even the cunning, and I don't think putin is the only entity behind this operation.

This whole process has been worked on for decades. Sometimes trying one thing or another to dismantle democracy. Project 2025 is another better thought out attempt. Still with its apparent flaws.
