Yes, and I’m not sure at why point you develop the sixth sense to know that there are certain forces that build a society, a culture, a nation. And other forces that tear it down, even if the intentions are good.
Even myself, I was believing free trade to be the guiding principle of capitalism. But it’s much more than that. And free trade can be harmful if it goes too far.
But the rise of Trump the candidate and president — and my interactions and reading on FR — has shown me that a nation should mirror the cohesiveness of a small family. It needs to protect itself, and take care of its own. It needs to sharpen its marketing and work skills. And there must be honesty, respect, and moral righteousness within the family.
The family is a model of the nation. And Trump is a nurturing and protective Dad for our nation.

Just an observer here; enjoying the view before us now. Truly amazing what our President has accomplished on so many levels in such a short amount of time.
Be it ever so slightly, you can feel the tide turning.

I agree entirely, and appreciate your insights about free trade, and your wonderful analogy between a nation and a family.

Translation: Trump is moving so fast on so many fronts that my mind can't keep up. It's not fair. Ha Ha..lefties...
Just Trump using your own tools back on you
Cloward-Piven guaranteed to block up the opposition.

Excellent. I had never heard of Cloven-Piven. From Wikipedia:
The ClowardPiven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".
Obamacare was another Cloward-Piven ruse.
Indeed, Trump has "precipitated a crisis" for the Leftists.

The idea of associating the nation with the family is a very old idea. Here is how Will Durant translated Confucius...
