Chronicles of a stable genius - all the biggliest stuff

Think systematically by mapping out the two alternatives:

1) U.S. imposes tariffs to resuscitate U.S. manufacturing, even with robots. Takes about 15 years to train up experienced people and re-create modern supply chain needed to sustain that returned manfacturing

OR

2) U.S. keeps going with "same old, same old" - then, perhaps by the end of your lifetimes, the U.S. has dropped down the order to become a second-rate world power like the United Kingdom and France ... with a totalitarian regime, together with the axis of evil countries, becoming the dominant controlling forces in the world.

Criticize all you want, but I do not want a world controlled by totalitarian regimes in 2050, for the sake of having cheaper K-mart toys in 2025.

Trump is taking the tough decisions to save us from that totalitarian fate ... whereas 99% of people whine like babies, entirely thinking short-term. Very few people are visionaries. For instance, if you take the population of blokes on this forum, it's not a criticism to say that hardly any of them are visionaries. That's just facts of life. Most people are short term thinkers, they do a job, earn a living, look after their family, and don't see things beyond keeping themselves and family safe, fed and perhaps educated. THAT is how people vote in Federal elections, which is why pork-barrel promises by politicians works so great - because the vast majority of people are short-term thinkers.

Open your eyes and your mind mate, USA is being run by a totalitarian regime right now.
 
Totalitarian states are one party states.At present in USA the Democrats are still present.I would say that USA is becoming an authoritarian state but possibly under Trump and MAGA a totalitarian state may be the future for Americans-a truly frightful thought.

If the tariffs remain in place (a day to day proposition at present) and USA does start to build factories and retool to become again a functioning industrial nation will there be that many jobs available to working class -people as many of these jobs will be done by robots.It will take at a minimum five years even start to rebuild the industrial base so trumpeted by Donald and associates as a principal reason for starting the tariff war.

It also should be remembered that many people in Western nations prefer to work in service industries-banking,insurance,tech businesses,etc-as they have obtained tertiary qualifications.Furthermore the types of industries that Trump want to encourage back are environmental despoilers not that he cares about that.

5 years you say? No wonder Trump is thinking a 3rd term. Technically a 4th if you count the 'stolen' election.

I agree with you when you say that Trump isn't in this to make money for himself, at least not totally. His major reason for being in this is that he is a narcissistic sociopath who believes that he knows everything and wants to go down in history as the greatest world leader ever. By the way, he doesn't give a shit about America and the American people, he just wants them to love him and vote for him.

As for Trump believing that God saved him from assassination, yeah Trump believes that in the same way that I believe the Easter bunny will deliver me shitloads of Lindt chocolate eggs this coming weekend.
