Trump's "rich kid" ego will not concede to the sovereignty of nations, because Trump sees tariffs will not work.

Trump's "rich kid" ego will not concede to the sovereignty of nations, because Trump sees tariffs will not work.  



Trump's ego is unbounded by the concept of the "liberty of nations."  Trump is coming late to the understanding that tariffs are not the benign panacea he has been saying it will be.  

Tariffs are not going to do what Trump has claimed they will.  Trump is incompetently, and as we will learn completely ineffectively, groping for a new hold on international trade, e.g, "Trump threatens to try to take back the Panama Canal. Panama's president balks at the suggestion December 22, 2024 
 
Trump is at best and at worst incompetent and INEFFECTIVE!!!

A Radical Minority

I trust 51% of the United States electorate

 

I trust 51% of the United States electorate over an oligarchy of appointed for life absolutely-immune unelected politicians on the Supreme Court and / or an unrepresentative United States' senate.

 

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time" and it is commonly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, the exact source is debated.


Please, PLEASE do not be so naive as to believe that a “majority of three-fifths of senators duly chosen and sworn (60 votes if there is no more than one vacancy in the Senate) is required for most questions.” 


The United States’s un-representative senate’s filibuster rule does not assure a credible majority over the feckless democracy.  The senate filibuster assures the negative dictates of any MINORITY will rule the day.  The most glaring example is the 100 years of Civil Rights from 10 years after the Civil War till the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  


The 2nd Amendment

The 2nd Amendment 

The 2nd Amendment:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The premise of the 2nd Amendment is “A well regulated Militia” therefore REGULATING the militia is not an issue.  I do not want to infringe "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

I and many others want to REGULATE the Militia as was the case in the United States before the absolutely immune "judge made law" in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) sought to change it. 

I trust 51% of the United States electorate over an oligarchy of appointed for life absolutely immune unelected politicians on the Supreme Court. 

"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time," and it is commonly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, the exact source is debated.
