Smiling fool Kevin Hassett thinks we just needed to see Trump's slides and the networks are to blame! I want to see him cry.

But you were so utterly devoid of sense, that throughout the whole of your speech you were disputing with yourself, saying things which not only were inconsistent with each other, but involved direct contradiction and opposition, so that the contest was not so much between you and me as between Antonius and Antonius.

A Second Postscript on Chaos Monkey and the Copper Tariffs
I have a lot of afterthoughts, and it’s always hard for me to decide how to present them: should I write postscripts as amendments to an existing post or are they best presented as new short posts?
On the one hand, I am hoping that a reader will make her way to the end of my post and wonder what more I might have to add — most likely a vain hope, and vain definitely strikes me as the right word here — or should I consider postscripts to be more than staircase thoughts, posts in their own right, deserving of separate attention and an email to my subscribers? I am always unsure.
At any rate, this Chaos Monkey question, which I took up the other day, is important enough that I have been trying to come to terms with it and look for evidence that runs in both directions.
A few days after I put up the Chaos Monkey post, and just one day after I’d written a postscript to that post, the Wall Street Journal ran an article about Ivanhoe Electric’s Santa Cruz mine, which announces (or at least strongly implies) in the headline that the proposed copper tariffs are working as intended: “The Race Is On to Build U.S. Copper Mines After Trump Pledges Higher Tariffs.”
The piece that follows doesn’t make good on that headline. Instead, we learn that Santa Cruz is an exceptional project because it is on private land and doesn’t require federal permitting; and the primary “purpose of these tariffs,” as Chris LaFemina says about halfway through the article, is to incentivize domestic smelting to counter China. (Santa Cruz will use leaching, not smelting.) You can almost hear the sad trombone.
The next day, the WSJ editorial board came clean: “Trump’s Tariffs Blow Up the Copper Market.” This editorial steps through all the reasons why the copper tariffs will have “chaotic” results, notes that the “tariffs won’t spur companies to build new smelters” (so much for the primary purpose of the tariffs), and labels the reasoning behind them “close to self-refuting” — which is a polite way of saying incoherent, i.e. utter nonsense.
Treating these tariffs as if they are coherent policy measures might be another instance of “pointless sanewashing,” as DeLong puts it in a more recent post (again on Ukraine, not on copper tariffs). A more charitable view is that it’s an all-too-human bid for coherence in the face of incoherence, sense-making in a shitstorm of nonsense. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, and can even lead to creative forms of resistance, productive disagreement, new shared commitment, and collective action, as long as the sense-making does not attribute sense to things that have none or where there is none to be found. Otherwise, it buys into and perpetuates the false and reassuring belief
that there is something called a “Trump administration” that can be usefully modeled a singular intelligent agent with consistent and coherent positions and goals that it pursues via some means-ends rational-actor process.
If we start from the assumption that there is no such agent currently at work in our world, if there is a government (in name, even in the newspaper headlines) but nothing that can be called governing, where are we?

Josh Marshall responds:
"[NS] expresses rightful frustration with the way that elite media continues to focus on Trump’s recent antics as an extended tantrum or flawed strategy when it is much more appropriately seen as a mental and cognitive state which is manifestly unfit for holding public office. Trump is also not morally fit for office."
So the question I'd ask is, Why do the media want to give Trump cover and lie about who he is? Why?

Reader NS tells Josh Marshall that the media are spectacularly failing to cover Trump as he actually is and as we all can see that he is: mentally unfit, incoherent, unraveling. The media want to pretend all this is Trump being "strategic."

"Every public event since June 27 has demonstrated the same point – that Trump’s habitual incoherence is getting worse, and the worse it gets, the more he alienates voters he must have to break through the ceiling of 43.5 percent of the electorate. …
His trash-talk isn’t alienating swing voters.
His gibberish is."

What is incoherence?
https://aeon.co/essays/is-it-possible-to-hold-truly-contradictory-beliefs-togetherMany of us hold incoherent beliefs but never consider them together, allowing us to sustain the #incoherence. Transparent incoherence is bizarre because it implies a lack of tendency to make mental states coherent. We tend to revise or reinterpret our mental states when our incoherence is brought to our #attention, suggesting a baseline level of coherence is built into human #cognition.

Some notes on #VictorRay’s #OnCriticalRaceTheory, cc:ing @sociology (5/...)
"From a scientific perspective, the #incoherence of racial categories is a weakness, undermining claims about the connection between biology and outcomes
But for political actors, #malleable racial categories are a strength, as the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion can expand or contract according to the needs of the powerful"
-
#incoherence (definition):
Standing against Google and its values, but install a "CLI tool that scrapes Google search results".
