Interesting. So Bloomberg's the one guy Trump appeases (as opposed to confronts) because he has money? Or does Bloomberg's money give the GOP consultants a way to scare Trump into doing what GOP consultants always want him to do (go establishment)? https://t.co/dRucxzFOG3

For all the POV-Nielsen gripes about Trump's "reckless fixation on the border," consider that it was Trump's RELENTLESS FIXATION that eventually led him to try something (lean on Mexico) that worked (for now) to solve the crisis https://t.co/8ZpEC35EW2 https://t.co/wSC1ywK7YU

The Blanding of Trump. (The crude, dumb view, of this, which will probably turn out to be the accurate view, is that it's making the world safe for Javanka.) https://t.co/piaAB6woox

So this is how reconcile @TuckerCarlson's "form-a-family" test with possibly costly green initiatives (and other possible traditional Dem/New Dealish concerns, like health care). Duh! I guess it was obvious. https://t.co/FnIRyECj98

.@PeterBeinart's right on pull of TV fame. On the other hand, DC often paralyzed in part by formerly famous machers nurturing their legacies (Obama may become one of them). Guiliani's attitude–“my attitude about my legacy is Fuck it”–seems almost healthy https://t.co/qSNQ5X4Bie

Corporatists (ie cozy alliance of entrenched big businesses and governments) love "stakeholders." So much easier the manage "stakeholders" than … voters … customers.
EU has plenty of "stakeholders." Not so much democracy. https://t.co/CzjO7kwZE7

"Veteran Republican strategist" not a very helpful description–since most veteran Republican strategists (eg @Murphymike, @stuartpstevens) are fiercely anti-Trump. So who is the "they" in "their focus"? https://t.co/rPqS07P2WS

There's something to be said for "energy in the executive," however crude. Trump tried A, he tried B, he tried C, he tried D … and damned if D didn't work, at least for now. https://t.co/8ZpEC2O44u

On the day his impeachment trial starts, Trump appears … in Davos. The concept of "optics" has been destroyed (I hope).

Trump should get credit for seemingly (maybe temporarily) ending the mass illegal migration crisis of 2018-2019 without Congress' help–but it's a tenuous success, depending on the Mexican government actions described in this excellent report. https://t.co/JAF4hv6fNh
