I think that there will be a scaling down of the military.
Again because of losing trillions ( correct ) of tax revenue because of the mortal sin of lowering the taxes of very very wealthy people.
Our military defense will likely be degraded in some way. It will make our enemies happy.
Every time you hear about school lunches cut or Medicaid funding cut or eligibility for social security raised or attempted or tariffs causing higher prices ( the trillions lost given to the favored rich causes an emergency and Trump knows it necessitating a big experiment with tariffs that is doomed for failure just like trickle down economy ) be morally and intellectually honest as to the linkage of trillions squandered to cuts affecting poor people.
Musk is involved also to cut waste ( programs for poor people and veterans etc.).
An aside - half of the country that calls itself the better people were ok about calling WW2 combat dead suckers and losers. The comments from the actual better and more moral people is of shock and outrage of course.
But nobody links those comments to Trump's isolation policy called America First. It was called America First before the USA got into WW2 and especially before we fought for democracy and survival in Europe. Coincidence ? Of course not.
So it is extremely fair to say that a WW2 era Trump would be against fighting Germany in Europe and he would have probably said he is the peace candidate and we could not even afford to spend money sending weapons not men to Europe. His ranting would have also emboldened Americans to choose cowardice. His ranting would have been an official platform giving permission to be stupid and cowards. We should all be so humbly grateful for those great souls who went so many that were killed.
We are in grave danger ahead. We are an immature barbaric species. Trump elevates nobody and he just foments hate and chaos among the most ignorant and un enlightened people here and abroad.
None other then Mitch McConnel said the same thing i said..."in the 1930s they also said America First'" Ominous. And he has protected Trump for 8 years.
The coming isolationist anti trade anti NATO policy along with do not get in the way of Russia is a recipe for disaster.
It easy to be a a non caring bystander. You dont get your hands dirty or a punch at the bully but that is not what makes peace. All it does is make the aggressor stronger. Obviously.
I saw a hearing on capitol hill on Cspan..Per usual the republican was screaming and ranting in a totally hostile meanspirited uncivil way; he made a 5 minute speech. And most importantly he distorted facts or outright lied or recognize the concept of context. AND he never even once let the witness respond. It makes me want to vomit.
But that crap wins in the dumb stupid country . People i think are dumber than Forrest Gump really do believe that screaming hateful anger means that the spewer is strong.
I saw Macron a few days ago put a bearhug around Trump almost kissing him and showing Trump great love. It is no wonder that the wonder boy is now despised in France. Grow a pair. Trump looked disgusted and wanted to get away...Probably thinking F this. I'm still going to tariff you if i want to.
