So in '24 Trump tried to distance himself from P 2025. Anyone with a functioning brain knew it was a lie. Now he's appointed essentially everyone involved with authoring the document to high gov't post. And now he's using the shutdown to pursue many goals. And, at the same time, he's punishing Democrats.
