But while the media obsesses about a return to "normalcy," Trump continues to scheme and plot.

Last Friday, Trump held a meeting with his cabal in the Oval Office. Stochastic terrorism is central here: Political violence is encouraged as a patriotic and necessary act to "defend" Trump and his "real Americans. Authoritarianism is by its very nature kleptocratic. White right-wing terrorists are now a greater a threat to the country's domestic security than terrorism by militant Islamists.

Trump is not subtle in his embrace of white supremacist and other right-wing violence.
