What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[The Minsky Moment]

I think Sir Keir Starmer's Marxist credentials are somewhat weak. 

He could pass for Zeppo.

I wonder how a classic "keys to keeping power" analysis could be applied to the Trump government- now and in the future:

It'd also be instructive to understand where it doesn't apply and how.

The military and the tech oligarchs are the main keys. Hard to imagine any government holding on to power in the US for long if they are against them.

It's clear that Trump and Hegseth do not consider the military a key to power.  If they did, they wouldn't have made the 800 flag officers jump through hoops to get to Quantico on short notice, only to insult them and trash-talk their retired comrades in arms.

I'd argue that Trumps principal keys are the USSC, Fox News, and right-wing podcasters like Joe Rogan. The latter two are important in his campaign to cow the House and Senate Republicans by threatening to primary them.
