But, what did it sound like?

But at least he got his turn.

Just in case your questions weren't entirely rhetorical...

...he said, as he sat in front of the new solid gold ornaments he had installed all around the Oval Office.

Well...one way to bring inflation down is to make conditions so bad, that people stop spending money altogether. Companies will have no choice but to lower prices, since no one can afford anything anymore.

Maybe Trump really is a genius, after all. /s

Well, he said he'd work for free, so....

My 6 year old daughter is less gullible than Trump.

I think what people cling to regarding the Constitution, is not that it protects democracy, but that it's intended to protect the public from authoritarian rule. It was written explicitly in response to the dictatorial behavior of King George lll.

The whole "democracy" part was always intended to be flawed, in favor of the wealthy landowners that wrote it...but the protections provided by it, were meant to prevent any future leader from ever threatening their personal freedoms.

It's really too bad they never hard-coded the steps necessary to actually prevent a dictator from taking power, though. That sure would have been useful right about now.

Right. Because that system would never be abused by the wealthy, to influence elections. Just look at how great things are in the US. Virtually corruption free, down there.

Yup, indeed. Fuckin' great idea. smh.

While the rest of us got a trillion dollars poorer.

Stopping the export of all rare earth elements is way more damaging than any tariff.

"MAY violate the 1st amendment"? Ummm...there's not a lot of ambiguity here. It ABSOLUTELY violates the 1st amendment.
