My take is that if you are a young and inexperienced employee of DOGE that is being asked to do questionable things with highly sensitive government information, then odds are pretty good that you are the fall guy.

I kind of suspect Trump is the fall guy. They do horrible things when he's still alive in order to get absolute power, then either let him die or bump him off... Hopefully have a circumstance that indefinitely extends tgeir power at that point, then hide theur wrong doings saying "Trump made us do those things, now we have to stay in power for the good of the nation otherwise bad things will happen".... And that will be that!

Secretly I'm hoping for a period where an AI generated Trump is used. That'd be a fun historical foot note before China takes control of global politics.
