There are people saying; "Hey, it's all okay, we'll recover from this!" But, unfortunately, it is not okay and it will be exceedingly difficult to recover from all of this. Consider our foreign policy is in shambles. Foreign policy is built on faith, which relies on trust, which in it's turn relies on knowledge and expertise. Trump has violated the worlds faith and they can no longer trust us, he has chased the knowledgeable experts out and not replaced them with qualified people. So, what foreign policy do we have? We are like an 900 lb gorilla, heavy on military strength but short on the intellect needed to use it effectively.
How do you manage a 900 lb gorilla? Well, if you have any brains you know enough not to fight with it. You want it to go to the right, you put a banana on the right. You want it to go left, again, you put the banana on the left. So, you want the American military gorilla to get in a cage? You go to Mar-a-lago and put praise and kind words in the cage and Trump willingly trundles into the cage, you lock the door and it's done.
America is a nation that relies heavily on law. The most used principle of law is the precedent. The precedents that are being established today will have to be vigorously fought against tomorrow and barring partisan opposition, they will have to be defeated. The precedent that the President can do no wrong, or that he can break the law if he thinks there is a benefit to the nation. Even if the only benefit is his belief that by being re-elected is good for the country. Means that the President is free of checks and balances and can no longer be stopped from doing whatever he wants to do.
Well, I'm going to guess that means Trump will be president for life, since I don't see how he can be stopped from ignoring or even preventing any future elections. Mitch McConnell has just appointed Trump the Founding Fathers biggest American nightmare. He has created a precedent at law that Trump cannot be impeached or removed from office for any reason at all. The effect, as you can see, is that economic growth has stalled and next it will begin to decline as confusion replaces commonsense and knowledge about what the law is or requires. Sadly the world has little to no faith left in the U.S. because politics is, in reality, a desperate game. A game where one can ill afford to make mistakes because, "trust like the soul never returns once it goes!" America is making mistakes big time. Eco unfriendly Nazi's and racists have joined forces with religious zealots all wanting to have their way and no one to stand in their way any longer. We are on the eve of destruction, believe it.
What are our troops doing in foreign lands? With no policy other than to help Trump win reelection we have no policy that can, any longer, be trusted. A policy that can't be trusted is no policy at all. Thus, our troops are at risk for no good reason, because the CinC cannot cite a policy and have anyone believe he will stick to it. The fact that he lies frequently tells everyone: "Do not trust what you are hearing because things in your ears appear better than they are in reality".
