brooks went far out-of-character when he recently stated 1-on-1 tariff negotiations have little purpose other than extract donations and bribes (also supported by game theory for complex scenarios)
however, it was unclear who he was talking to regarding kleptocracy...most sensible people that knew of this goal even before trump 1.0, or fellow gop that dont care.

i dont think brooks deserves a break as another tiny gop voice that is regretful after it doesnt matter.
below are more-or-less his trump stances during the past 3 elections :

2016 : obama has swung the country too far left, trump will grow into the presidency
2020 : trump was doing great until his covid management, and was not forgiven for this on the margins
2024 : inflation, blah blah blah
