The Narcissist president’s style is at the root of the cabinet.

Distance can often bring clarity to vision. As currently Washington is obsessed with the occasion, reports on the struggle between the right manual man Elon Musk (who occupies a nebulous position that manages the government’s efficiency, or doge) and members of the Cabinet of Ministers, such as Mark Rubio, the most distinct appearance, occurs from distant France. Dr. Claude Malhuret, a member of the French Senate, is not usually a figure prone to thinking bitter words about American politics. His political-right-wing Central and Atlantic, aimed at preserving the continent united under NATO and the European Union and focused on the United States. But, like many traditional Atlantists, it became a deep pessimistic attitude towards the reliability of the United States as an ally in the Donald Trump era.
March 4 Malhuret made a significant note where he complain This “Washington became a day of Nero: the incendiary emperor, the submissive courtiers and the Buffon on Kettin, which instructed to clear the public service.” “Degree on ketamine” is a bad mulch conducting (or abuse) prohibited report According to such reputable sockets as The Wall Street Journal.
Amatana hieremod Malhuret gives a useful basis because it finds a source of the problem as the mad emperor (similar to Trump, similar to Nero) with just a secondary, accomplice played by his laces and separated by musk.
When the government leaves the rails, among those who are postponed to power, rejecting the advisers who make light and useful goats. Proverb Russian phrase “If only the king knew,” it captures this thinking. But as an economist Brad Delong likes to talk“Cossacks work on the king.” In other words, the guilt for the wrongdoing lies with the main person who often uses seemingly uncontrolled minions such as Cossacks as a shield for his own politics.
Musk is certainly an ideal distraction, getting into the tradition of famous courtiers, such as Thomas Cromwell (who flourished under the English King Henry VIII). But as powerful as Cromwell was an advisor, he served in the suffering of his king – and, like many other courtiers, was eventually thrown and executed.
Even more than Trump, the Lord Technology is a seemingly outsider for Washington (despite the fact that his key firms such as Tesla and SpaceX profit With more than $ 38 billion in the state large). Musk’s muddy position in Dogee is ideal for a griza that blooms in the shadow of power; The agency he headed was not allowed by Congress, but existed by President Fiat. Considering the wide mandate for the alleged ineffectiveness, it became a government administration into the public administration, and Musk enjoys and engage in the sports and felling of a member of the super-laureate (from the executive over not only one department but also in essence) without any constitutional and legal mandates. This has already caused a constitutional crisis when many vessels – including The Supreme Court recently– Determination that the rain exceeded the law.
The Musk Shadow Government also lifts Trump’s own cabinet. Friday explosive New York Times The report discusses in detail about the recent tense meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, at which Musk broke out not only against Rubio, but also the secretary of the transport, Sean Dash. The meeting was clearly designed to allow members of the cabinet on the air of their grievances against Musk, which made a SOP to taste Trump to the traditional (rarely elegant) male fashion, putting on a suit rather than their usual T -shirts. As depending on TermRubio’s argument went as:
Sitting diagonally, opposite the elliptical table from the mahogany, Elon Musk allowed Mr. Rubio, accusing him that he could not cut off staff.
You fired “no one,” said Mr. Musk Mr. Rubio, and then he added that apparently the only person he fired was an employee from the Government Efficiency Department of Musk.
Mr. Rubio has been privately with Mr. Moscow for several weeks, since his team has covered an entire agency that was allegedly controlled by Mr. Rubio: the US International Development Agency. But at an extraordinary session of the Cabinet on Thursday before President Trump and about 20 others – he refuses previously not reported – MR. Rubio got his grievances from his chest.
Mr. Musk was not true, said Mr. Rubio. What about more than 1500 State Department officials who retired? Did they not consider dismissal? He asked sarcastically if he wanted Mus Musk so that he would re -removing all these people so that he could put them again. Then he outlined his detailed plans to reorganize the State Department.
Moscow Tsing Rubio as a shallow administrator who was good on television, but with a little other skill, while Rubio emphasized Musk’s wrong behavior.
Specade allowed Trump to play a peacemaker. “Mr. Rubio has something to fight, the president said” The New York Times reported. “He is very busy, he always goes on TV and he has an agency. So everyone just needs to work together.” This slightly indulgent comment fits Trump’s comments on his address to Congress on Tuesday, where he said Rubio had hard work and added“Good luck, Mark”.
At the same meeting of the cabinet there is an exchange between Moscow and Shan Dafa, which was even more disturbing, given the unstable safety of transport in America:
A few minutes before the explosion with Mr. Rubio, Mr. Musk, and the secretary of the transport, Shan Duffy, went there about the state of the Federal Aviation Administration equipment to track the aircraft and what corrections needed. Howard Lutnit, the secretary of the trade, jumped to support Mr. Musk.
Mr. Dafa said that the young team of Mr. Musk tried to deprive the air traffic controllers. What should I do? said Mr. Duffy. I have some emergency planes to handle now and your people want me to shoot with air traffic control?
After the Dafa and Musk went there -here about the shooting with the air traffic dispatchers that were hired, Trump intervened in a bizarre and unnecessary proposal: “The exchange ended when Mr. Trump told Mr. Dafa that he had to hire people from Mit as controllers.” Trump added that these new air traffic controllers should be “geniuses”.
If Trump’s office is a circus, the malfunction does not lie in the musk – or any other clowns – but with Trump’s “Ringmaster”. He manages his office just as he managed his unsuccessful business, such as Trump’s casino and Trump University: like a snake pit, where competing executives must fight each other to please the boss. Trump is a narcissist and this is his natural way to manage.
In 2016, during the first presidential run by Trump, the AP reported: “When Donald Trump acquired a couple of casino” Atlantic City “in the mid-1980s, he relied on his leaders from each other in fierce competitions: from the booking of entertainers to the attraction of high-rumored gambling players.” Musk is a problem, but only because Trump is a much bigger problem. At some point, because many liberals are gladly hope, Trump is most likely tired of Musk because Henry VIII was tired of Thomas Cromwell. But it will only mean that the court of the crazy king will receive a new buckwheat, not what any real problem will be solved. Fighting in the office will continue because Trump is holding a show.
The hard and chaotic second term Donald Trump is just beginning. In the first month, Trump’s office and his Like -Elon Musk (or this is the opposite?) Proved that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar without checking strength and wealth.
