I don't know what is in his heart and mind, whether it's purely trolling or not, but regardless of whether it is or isn't, one takeaway is that the material consequences of these actions do no matter. It's gladiator games, bread and circuses, Tigers v. Guardians.
If material consequences *did* matter to someone, they wouldn't be cheering on what DOGE is doing right now. Because the actions and approach will materially harm all of us to varying degrees over the coming months.
