Governo Trump 2 (2025 a 2029)

[Huxley]

De repente, aqueles que glorificaram Trump, alegando que ele financiou pesadamente as vacinas contra a Covid, sumiram. O Jumento Laranja, juntamente com RFK Jr., está em modo de sanha antivacina, e agora as crianças são as vítimas da vez:

Em 2012, R.F. Kennedy Jr., ministro da Saúde de Trump, alegou ser mentalmente incapaz de trabalhar e que, portanto, não tinha como pagar pensão à ex-mulher. Como então foi nomeado para um cargo tão importante?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argued in his divorce case that a doctor told him a dead parasite had eaten part of his brain — and that his cognitive problems and memory loss had hurt his earning power enough to affect what he could pay in alimony.
And now he is the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Let that sink in.
The guy tasked with overseeing the nation’s health, public-health agencies, medical research, vaccines, food safety, Medicare, Medicaid, and the future health of our children is a man with no medical degree, no clinical training, no public-health credentials — but a truly astonishing courtroom résumé: “Your Honor, the brain parasite situation has impacted my ability to earn.”

Apparently, it did not impact his ability to fail upward into control over institutions staffed by actual doctors, epidemiologists, scientists, researchers, nurses, and public-health professionals.
Just think about the standard being set here. If you want to work in a hospital cafeteria, you need food-safety training. If you want to administer medication, you need licenses and qualifications. If you want to lead a local health department, you need expertise, experience, and a record of understanding public health.

But if you want to run the entire federal health apparatus? Apparently all you need is a famous last name, an endless supply of conspiracies, and enough political usefulness to powerful people who think expertise is elitist.

And before the inevitable whining begins: no, this is not making fun of someone for having a medical issue. It is pointing out the breathtaking absurdity of elevating someone who himself cited serious cognitive impairment in court into one of the most consequential health-policy jobs in the country.

He argued that his earning capacity was diminished. The Trump administration looked at that and said: Perfect. Put him in charge of the agencies that determine whether millions of Americans can access health care, whether disease outbreaks are handled competently, and whether scientific reality gets to survive the next four years.

Because in MAGA America, qualifications are apparently suspicious. Science is “corrupt.” Doctors are “the establishment.” And the guy whose brain-parasite story became part of his divorce litigation is somehow the grown-up in the room.

This is not government. This is a satire writers’ room that got a federal budget.

Os EUA perderam a guerra contra o Irã. O vice Olho-Junto acha que a solução é entupir os soldados de testosterona. Enquanto isto, a munição acabou, os marinheiros nos porta-aviões que foram enviados para uma rápida e vitoriosa operação, e deveriam ter voltado no máximo em maio, estão deprimidos e já houve tentativas de suicídio.
As notícias são ruins, mas ninguém tem coragem de contar ao Bosta Laranja. O Olho-Junto já demitiu vários que tentaram.

Crise a bordo de um porta-aviões americano: marinheiros exaustos, problemas de saúde mental e escassez de alimentos

USS Abraham Lincoln está no mar há nove meses, e seus 5 mil tripulantes trabalham em turnos de até 16 horas; familiares relatam escassez de alimentos e suprimentos básicos, além de grave deterioração psicológica

Por La Nacion 14/08/2026

As famílias dos mais de 5 mil marinheiros e fuzileiros navais destacados a bordo do porta-aviões USS Abraham Lincoln expressaram preocupação com as condições enfrentadas pela tripulação, submetida a um destacamento excepcionalmente longo e meses de operações relacionadas à guerra contra o Irã. Suas queixas variam desde a escassez de alimentos e suprimentos básicos até problemas de infraestrutura, jornadas de trabalho exaustivas e uma crescente crise de saúde mental.

O porta-aviões Lincoln partiu de San Diego em 21 de novembro de 2025, inicialmente com destino ao Pacífico, mas foi desviado para o Oriente Médio antes do início dos ataques conjuntos EUA-Israel contra o Irã em 28 de fevereiro. Desde então, a missão foi prorrogada diversas vezes e a tripulação passou aproximadamente nove meses no mar. O porta-aviões permaneceu 208 dias consecutivos nas águas sem atracar, um recorde para um navio da Marinha dos EUA de sua classe.

The Putinization of the American Military

When poseurs and yes-men run a war

PAUL KRUGMAN JUL 28 2026

Donald Trump’s Iran debacle is by no means the first war the United States has lost in modern times. In Vietnam and in Afghanistan, America was similarly defeated by enemies that were nominally less advanced yet implacable. The humiliating images of the last helicopter taking off from Saigon, and the chaos of the mad scramble to board the last plane departing in Kabul, are reminders of the folly of forever wars that are bound to lose the support of the American people.

But the loss to Iran is different: it is the closest we have come to outright military defeat. U.S. forces pulled out of Saigon and Kabul, not because they had been beaten in battle, but because the domestic political cost of propping up client regimes became too great.

Granted, U.S. forces haven’t suffered any conventional defeats at Iranian hands either.
But all indications are that the main reason the Trump administration is again calling off major operations against Iran is that America is running critically short of ammunition.

So Trump isn’t backing down because his war of choice is extremely unpopular, although it is. Nor is he backing down because the economic costs of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are too great, or because the fiscal cost of the war is skyrocketing, while the country faces enormous deficits and rising long-term interest rates. Trump says he doesn’t care about any of that. And in a way I believe him — because even a fully reopened Strait won’t recoup his standing with voters fast enough to salvage the midterm elections for Republicans.

No, most reports, like this one from the Wall Street Journal, say that Trump is backing down because military professionals have finally managed to convince him that U.S. stocks of advanced munitions are so severely depleted that the current rate of use will soon leave America critically weakened. Moreover, replenishing those stocks will take years once the shooting ceases.

For example, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates that the US has expended more than half of the Patriot missiles it had before the war, and that it will take until 2029 to replace them:
The administration’s response to such reports, exemplified by recent remarks by Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the United Nations, is that
· Munitions aren’t depleted
· Anyone leaking the fact that they are depleted should go to jail
· It’s Joe Biden’s fault
Given the nature of Trump-speak, Waltz’s statement is in effect an admission that the U.S. military is now in deep trouble.

How could this happen? How could the best-equipped, most sophisticated military in the world have allowed itself to be humiliated by a third-rate power?
First of all, Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump began with an astonishingly stupid theory of war: the belief that performative masculinity is how you win. Hegseth literally believes that the secret of military might in an age of AI-enabled drones that can travel hundreds of miles is more testosterone.

Now, the idea that being manly and anti-woke makes an army strong was the reason that many on the American right admired Vladimir Putin before he invaded Ukraine. You might think that 1.4 million Russian casualties — 450,000 of them dead — and the spectacle of burning Russian oil refineries and factories would have disabused them of this notion. But no.

And the fixed belief that “lethality” is how you win surely led to basic inability to anticipate the blindingly obvious: that we have a limited supply of sophisticated weapons and that the Iranians would close the Straits of Hormuz.
The conduct of the Iran war has also been highly Putinesque.

There have been many reports that Russia’s disaster in Ukraine partly reflects the fact that Russian generals are afraid to tell Putin how the war is really going. Sure enough, the British newspaper The Telegraph reports on rumors that “the Pentagon” — presumably meaning Hegseth — has until recently been hiding the extent of the munitions shortfall from the White House. And it quotes insiders saying that Hegseth himself may not know what’s happening, because his policy of purging officers he doesn’t like has created a “culture of silence” in which people are “very loath to bring bad news to Pete.”

Indeed, a New York Times report recounts how Hegseth fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti as head of the Navy, replacing her with Daryl Caudle, who was not on the short list of officers recommended by senior Navy officials. But Caudle had the qualifications that Hegseth wanted: he signaled his lack of integrity and unfitness for command by supporting Hegseth’s attack on highly qualified female officers and hiring a MAGA insider.

I should add that Hegseth has been an equal-opportunity destroyer of the best and brightest in the U.S. military. In April he shocked and disgusted the military brass by summarily firing General Randy George, who was at the forefront of modernizing the military and learning from Ukraine’s brilliant use of inexpensive drones.
Simply put, we defeated ourselves.

True, this war was never winnable, and perhaps we should be thankful that U.S. defeat became obvious before Trump committed ground troops and needlessly sacrificed thousands of American lives. But we should also consider that this defeat shows how deeply and pervasively Trump and Hegseth have crippled the U.S. military. Their incompetence, corruption and irresponsibility have weakened us with incredible speed. And it will take many years for America to recover, if it ever does.
