Baker on the USAID Gutting: The Trump Admin Wants a Reaction to Show Their Supporters that They’re ‘Disrupting Washington’

RUSH EXCERPT:
BAKER: "Well, I actually think that they’re happy about this. You know, this is what they are looking to do. They want a reaction, in part to show their supporters that they’re, you know, disrupting Washington, their their, you know, changing the way that things work. And in a way, therefore, I think the outrage, the upset, the lawsuits, the chaos in some ways is part of the strategy from their point of view. It shows that they’re doing what he promised to do during the election. Never mind. He didn’t really talk much about usaid on the campaign trail. The idea is he is taking on the corrupt deep state, as they like to call it, and that, of course, the deep state is going to respond to it. So from their point of view, I don’t think they’re super unhappy with the opposition. The more opposition, in some ways it fits their it fits their strategy."
