Looks like someone told Trump “maybe you should have put more thought into this”.
Backtracking!

That was one of his firing spees that was going to hit me the most and the soonest.
Glad he went back on that one.
I guess good job trump for not doing the dumb thing that you originally wanted to do.

I was thinking it’s not hard to imagine Trump realizing “maybe spoiling people’s vacations this summer will mean people won’t love me as much”.

Well, it is only 5 weeks.
Make no mistake: Trump, Vance, and Musk continue to be an indiscriminate wrecking ball that has already caused major destruction and will continue to weaken and isolate America. But their takeover has been slowed.
Their plan was based on doing so much, so fast that the rest of us would give in to negativity and despair. They want a dictatorship built on hopelessness and fear.
That may have been the case initially, but we can take courage from the green shoots of rebellion now appearing across America and the world.
As several of you have pointed out, successful resistance movements maintain hope and a positive vision of the future, no matter how dark the present.
More than 55 years ago, I participated in the resistance to the Vietnam War — a resistance that ultimately ended the war and caused a once powerful president to resign. That resistance gave us courage we didn’t even know we had. It changed American culture, inspiring songs such as “The Times They Are A Changing,” and “Blowin’ In The Wind.”
No one person led that anti-war movement. It was an amalgam of groups and leaders spanning more than six years of mobilization and organization, at all levels of society.
The Civil Rights Movement that culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 required over 18 years of organizing, demonstrating, and mobilizing.
The current coup is less than five weeks old, and resistance has only begun. The Trump-Vance-Musk regime will fail. Even so, the Democracy Movement now emerging will require at least a decade, if not a generation, to rebuild and strengthen what has been destroyed, and to fix the raging inequalities, injustices, and corruption that led so many to vote for Trump for a second time.
Those of you who want the leaders of the Democratic Party to step up and be heard are right, of course. But political parties do not lead. The anti-war movement and the Civil Rights Movement didn’t depend on the Democratic Party for their successes. They depended on a mass mobilization of all of us who accepted the responsibilities of being American.
We will prevail because we are relearning the basic truth — that we are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

I like the positivity of this. Although, it has to be said in fairness, that unlike on past decades, now people can be connected in seconds to organize, but also can be spied and controlled easier. The other factor is that so many of us will stay home in front of our screens, being just keyboard "warriors", waiting for the dopamine rush we get from likes to our posts. Just like me, a pathetic excuse of an activist that has become too lazy in his fourties. I gotta kick myself in me arse.
I'll go to my local cooperative based bookstore that has lot of people organizing demonstrations, here in Finland. Well need worldwide demonstrations against fascism in America emerging, we need a worldwide push to show how ridiculous this **** is. We need to hit where it hurts: American pride. We need to build up a worldwide pressure and ridicule over the current administration of Trump II that's trying to build a new, worse world order for most of us, in any side of the political scale (aside extreme right/fascists, that most of us really are not)
