If they just put the name I would have no idea who they are. Writing the full name plus “,an anti-Trump podcast” would be a really long title with extra info they get in the first sentence.

Wanting to stop at the headline is a bad habit. Just click the article and complain if the name isn’t right there.

You’re really going to have to clarify on “this”. I really am not trying to be obtuse but as far as I see, Americans aren’t going on vacation in Europe to protest abortion or making speeches in support of right wing populists. It’s govt officials doing that. American tourists are friendly on average.

Or they go right over their head because Trump respects nothing of procedure that doesn’t benefit him, they slow down nothing, and now they’re also complicit

Everyone complaining about this and calling them a coward: Trump and his crimes won’t respect the law now, what makes you think this bureaucrat can obstruct anything? Trump will absolutely go over the heads of anyone refusing his orders.

Better to resign and not be complicit than sit by and let your name be anywhere near this shit.

Okay, but then what one word adjective, or even 2, would you use? Increasing may be a little bland but it’s acurate. Do you want them to outline everything DOGE has done?

JD Vance isn’t part of the government? Nothing in this article is a civilian doing anything, unless you mean more than this article with “this shit” at which point I’m lost and you’ll need to expand your point for me.

I often find those same people can follow up “I love Americans” with “I hate America” just as easily. Americans have a pretty friendly and (almost overly-)gregarious reputation, despite our govt’s best efforts to play international bad guy
