Calling this bald-faced election tactic a ā€œpolicy announcementā€ is ā€¦ a little too credulous.

OK, they phoned the Mooch, that doesnā€™t countā€¦

Ugh, I put on CNN this morning and they announced that The Mooch would be on to discuss The Caravan. Turned it right off and washed some painting show on PBS instead.

Oh. So heā€™s not, in fact, unmoored from reality, living in a dream world where he can promise things that are literally impossible in the world of objective reality he seems to show little interest in or regard for. OK. Very, uh, reassuring.

I forgot about his military parade, whatā€™s the deal with it now?

Canceled when the projected costs went past $90 million at the same time Trump canceled our joint exercises with south korea (cost $14 million). Also the US armed forces werenā€™t too keen on being used as props.

Just like the extremists of the yore had the strategy of burning down the system in order to remake it into what they wanted, Trumpā€™s strategy is best explained by assuming that his goal is to prove beyond all doubt that a sustainable constitutional democracy is impossible as it can be easily hacked by a person with an extremely perverted sense of ethics and morality, with very little understanding of history, and without much intelligence. Once his project succeeds, all we will be left with will be the Trump University on a much larger scale.

Unfortunately he himself is wondering as to how easy it has been so far.

Hey White House staff, better get busy on recruiting those ISIS terrorists and shipping them down to the huddled mass yearning to be free on it;s way here.

Hey, you can always use some evangelical christians, since their fundamentalism is just a different flavor of Islamic Terrorism!

A little too credulous? Itā€™s like calling the ocean damp.

ā€¦ a promise to voters that if Republicans are able to hold their majorities in Congress, lawmakers may be able to cobble together a 10 percent tax cut for the middle class sometime in the future.

So like a bribe or buying their vote?

Bigly 10% tax cut? Sounds like a sure-fire winner to meā€¦

But notice the certainty: a nonbinding resolution . . . a promise . . . if . . . may be able to . . . sometime in the future. That should be enough to secure the votes of his credulous base, who will then blame the Democrat mob when it does not materialize.

Donā€™t make fun of space force! Dude, Iā€™m sitting here wearing my Star Trek cuff-links, just patiently waiting for the future to arrive.

Definitely, because a 10% middle-class tax cut would have to be paired with at least a 25% high-income tax cut and even a GOP congress will need a few months to get comfortable with a $2 trillion annual deficit.
