In just two days, Donald Trump has destroyed tens of millions’s economic security, with his Tariff Wars on the entire world, except, interestingly, for such authoritarian governments as the Russian Federation, Cuba, North Korea, and Belarus!
People’s retirement accounts and economic well being, regarding Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and so much else, are being systematically destroyed by the extremist right wing assault headed by Elon Musk, with Donald Trump’s endorsement.
THe nation and the world are in the grips of a maniacal, dangerous tyrant, who seems to have no concern for the damage he has wrought!
One of his unnamed White House aides used the F word, to say Donald Trump did not give a F—-about anyone who opposed what is doing, and that he is not going to change course.
This is a massive domestic and worldwide crisis that undermines everything decent that the United States has promoted and believed in!
Democrats, including Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Maxwell Alejandro Frost, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy,—and Republicans, including Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Thom Tillis, Chuck Grassley, Don Bacon—are sounding the alarm, and Congress must unite with Democrats and a handful of Republicans to stop the dangerous, destructive tariff wars that are undermining the American economy and well being of its citizens, as well as the world at large!
Professor, this is so well written that I have shared this posting with several friend, and relatives.
Franklin Roosevelt made a speach on January 6, 1941, noting the difference between “Freedom.” verse
“Liberty.”
“Freedom of Speech” is what hateful speach stands behind when others are spewing inaccurate and lies, against science and medical facts. i.e. the world is flat, we never landed on the moon, Covid-19,is fake news, Klan and Neo-Nazi Propaganda, and Hillary was running a children’s prostitution ring from a Pizza Parlor in D.C.
In the past, the government being in control and only helping the privileged. Roosevelt’s definition of “Liberty” meant that everyone was in control of themselves and were able to work freely. It is “Liberty” that protects the rest of us from the others noted above under “Freedom.”
Apparently trumps team and musk are now at odds over the tariffs.
Some people are speculating that Elon wants to play American hero and polish his image, but we have gone too far!
I can’t believe how most conservatives do not care they just lost their retirement.
You are seeing the power of Propaganda Infused Ignorance. They are a Cult!!
No ability for “Critical Thinking” to be applied.
This is a sad state this demographics has sunken to.
So I guess the question now is, “Freedom versus Liberty.”
People have to ask themselves, “Which side am I on?”
Trump says US economy in good shape as markets tumble yet again. He must be very delusional.
