@jonathanchait As always, the explanation is stupid. First, Trump can’t tolerate the idea of not being number one. Exercising power from behind the throne has no appeal. Second, he’s convinced he’s going to live for ever.
@PhillipsPOBrien The Germans had an ironic name for opportunists who joined the Nazi Party soon after their assumption of power in January: die Maerzgefallenen (those who fell in March).
@AaronBlake Only a matter of time before Rubio is dumped and replaced by a true believer. Pathetically, he is just trying to hold on for as long as possible before the inevitable happens.
@RealJakeBroe@generalkellogg This guy looks like another one of Trump’s dupes. When the time seems right Trump will drop him and hand over Ukraine to Russia.
