Nobody is panicking. Trump is getting and taking bad advice. I can’t panic because I think it is too late to save the USA politically and economically. We are too divided for that. The answers will be non political. So why panic?
IMO, friend, I can understand how this particular "bad advice" could be misconstrued at first blush. The presentation has been altered a bit; But NOT Trump's actual intent on the subject.
If a bit of semantic misdirection works in our favor or a change, let's take advantage of that perception.
You may be right.
That said, the key to any slim chance of our survival is...addressing the Amnesty/Illegal Invasion issue, and upholding those laws (which Trump emphatically maintained *would* indeed be the case.)
