    He somehow embodies a satirical take on Saddam Hussein.

    Can’t threaten with something you are already doing.

      He’s not laying off DHS. Or the Pentagon. He’s certainly not cutting the spending to friendly military contractors.

      What we’re witnessing is re-colonization of the US interior.

    Pointless. He’s either bluffing, or “threatening” to do something he was planning on doing anyway… but now he can blame Democrats.

    This is a hostage situation where the administration plans on taking out the hostages even if the ransom is paid.

    Don’t know why y’all think he’s bluffing, he wants to fire everyone. They literally want to get rid of as much government as they can.
