It is fascinating to watch the reactions being created by President Trump from all the people who think they know what to expect. As if this time around it will in any way resemble his first administration. It isn\u2019t and it won\u2019t. People who hate him will be absolutely blindsided by his works; people who like him will be delighted.\u00a0 President Trump doesn\u2019t think outside of the box; he thinks outside of the planet.<\/p>\n
Yet so many people expect him to do things the way that they have always been done, just a little bit differently. WRONG! And people are beginning to have their eyes opened. Zelensky actually thought that he could push POTUS around like he did Obozo and Brandon. That didn\u2019t work out well for him. It did give Lindsey Graham an opportunity to get on the right bus. Graham couldn\u2019t just flip flop without a good reason. Okay, he could have, it\u2019s not like some people who do it all the time and expect no one to notice. But it gave him plausible deniability to change his position on Ukraine.<\/p>\n
POTUS didn\u2019t push Graham, he pulled.<\/p>\n
He has threatened tariffs on countries that are contributing to the harm to our people. He has threatened tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on our goods entering their country. Traditional conservative economists (unlike Paul Krugman, an example of just how moronic the Nobel Committee is) bemoan tariffs as destructive to the economy, inflationary, protecting laborers and companies from their own inefficiencies.<\/p>\n
And, yes in a traditional, classical economic environment they may have a point. This is anything but a classical economic environment.<\/p>\n
What too many people are not comprehending is that POTUS is using tariffs as a negotiating tool. What is more important \u2013 increasing the price of goods imported from Mexico or Canada or reducing the amounts of illegal drugs coming in from either country? Or perhaps using the threat, even imposing them for a while, in order to get the leaders of both of the other countries to understand that POTUS means what he says. This is POTUS\u2019 greatest weapon \u2013 He says what he means and DOES WHAT HE SAYS! This is such a totally unusual behavior that people –both friends and foe\u2013 just can\u2019t wrap their heads around it.<\/p>\n
The result by many on the Marxist side is to bluster and babble and run to their attorney. Good. Once the SCOTUS gets a hold of it, leftist minds will really start to explode. I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n
By following through on his promises and getting the results expected, he will pull even some anti-Trumpers over to the right side, if only to not look like perfect fools. Of course there will be some \u2013 AOC, etc. who delight us in being fools. They can\u2019t help it; it\u2019s what they are. But eventually some of even the die-hard dummycrats will wake up from their wokeness and realize that their bus has left them behind. And under it.<\/p>\n
