However, on the other we have a number of bumbling fools who haven't quite figured out the nimble nature of one Donald J Trump.
Here's a hypothetical situation - pan film noir: Someone is to try to hang a frame on you, but in the meantime, they are going to grant you unlimited police powers. Question: Do you meekly acquiesce to the set-up and take the fall, or do you use the abilities your enemies have for some reason granted you to reverse the situation?
Why is that no one - including the author - focusing on the fact that Trump, enabled by the sanction granted by two MD experts, issued a national security emergency declaration giving him sole authority to act in the "national interest"? That means essentially no congressional nor judicial oversight while acting without restraint as a (semi) dictator.
Is Trump so pure and virtuous that he wouldn't heed the advice of "never let a crisis go to waste"? What would an average man off the street have done if given just 20 minute to think about his options? Now, what about a street smart player from NYC?
Well, how about this for starters:
- border controls - travel restrictions - moderated sanctuary states - re-homed domestic production - import tariffs - lower oil prices - undeclared cartel operations - $8-10T to invest/re-direct US economyHere's some math for those less inclined to really think this through:
- 2 trillion CV bill - 4 trillion Fed reserve window - 2 trillion infrastructure bill - 2 trillion China reparations (TBD)
$10 trillion dollars divided by 100 million Americans comes out out to $100k each. Is anyone getting the picture yet? Trump has so much money, so much buffer, that he can let the current lock down last for months, while still maintaining the ability to pay everyone off ie make whole.
So, guess who's going to begin screaming about re-opening the country? Who's gonna begin going on about "muh backward slope"? LOL Shit people, have a little faith.
2 trillion China reparations (TBD)
The U.S. debt to China is $1.07 trillion as of December 2019.
