Even if a popular moment is to jump off a cliff, you can warn them over and over; but they will not listen to your warning. You can only grow a sense of humor and watch one after another plummet to their deaths.(January 31, 2017 at 7:58 pm)Sterben Wrote: In a dark comedy it does, people like him will come and go. The U.S is in a cycle of the people who has not realized that they have buyers remorse. There will be so much resistance to anything he wants to do, that the lawsuits will build up. We survived two Bush eras, we can survive four years of "that guy" in office.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that the US is the only place that is going to be adversely affected by the Trump/Bannon triumvirate (yes, the two of them have enough ego for three people). Implicit in their irrational devotion to nationalism is economic protectionism. Normally, this wouldn't trouble me, but the scale of the US economy is such that a protectionist agenda there is going to send shockwaves through stock and commodities markets around the world. High tariffs, 'border' taxes, bribing companies to build plants in the US, decreasing investment in foreign markets - these things simply will do drastic damage to the global economy. And - like it or not - it IS a global economy, and there's no going back.
