How Russell Vought Became Trump’s Shadow President
From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that insiders say they feel like “he is the commander in chief.”
Note
some may view the president as someone who plays 4d chess, a marketing genius or the ultimate sales person.
in reality, failing upwards, luck and pyschopathic relentelessness are also ingredients that can be successful, unfortunately.
there is one other ingredient though. other people. whether a great leader or a king, neither achieves alone, in isolation.
in the case of authoritarianism, we see corruption and hatred fueled by those who have given up their moral foundations (Christianity, voters and more) to wage a war on wokeness and diversity.
this is just one such story. i am sure there are others.
the story is the same across. people who are angry, calculated and quick to point fingers. yet, they offer no real solution (other than to tear down and "win") and they are willing to absorb hypocrisy and disband their morals to get the "win".
