Unanimous?

How clearly do you have to tear apart the Constitution to have the Supreme Court rule 9-0 against you? Great work, President Trump.

Dropping the ball

The president keeps saying the tariffs should have been utilized 40 years ago,and that numerous presidents have dropped the ball by not increasing tariffs. I may be wrong but didn’t he serve a 4-year term back in 2016? Guess that makes him a ball-dropper himself.

Tariffs

I don’t see anything wrong with the president pushing hard on tariffs, with the idea being that he’d negotiate better deals than we have now.

Democrats’ policies

To the long, drawn-out post asking for Democrats to state their policies, they have been perfectly clear. Push back on anything President Trump puts forward.

King for life

Kings are monarchs that reign until they die or abdicate the throne. Leaders of democratic republics have term limits established by the Constitution. Trump wants to be king and rule as an autocrat forever. He could follow the playbook of Gov. Earl Long of Louisiana. After serving two terms as governor, he later was elected as Lt. Governor under his puppet governor who resigned soon after being elected just so Long could be named governor and serve a third term. If Trump is elected vice president in the next election, he would soon be king when the elected president resigns.

Continues

President Trump continues to destroy rule of law. He directed his DOGE chainsaw crew to ignore and remove laws and normal regulatory coordination and notices to the public to quietly take over Democracy. The Republican Congress sits quietly and ignores its duties.

Incompetence

President Trump appoints incompetent people to lead federal agencies so he can control them easier. This allows our foreign adversaries to be much more effective against us and severely degrades our government
