Trump Price Is Wrong

Trump will be costly, very bigly, very soonly.  He misthinks that he can weaponize tariffs to control the foreign policy of our allies, as in regard to Palestinian recognition.  His pal in arrogance, Netanyahu, has undone years of good will building by Israel, by weaponizing food in Gaza.

The monetary price for Trump's vacillations will be borne by USA consumers. What he accomplishes on a Monday, he squanders by Thursday. The political price, while slower to show up, will be coming. Biden didn't become incompetent until the end of his term, Trump's already showing his shortcomings.

When Republicans will stand up and speak out remains to be seen. Only partisans can still accept the silence... support from independents has already been lost. I don't see Trump really caring about the Republican Party and reining himself in. Incumbents will have to distance themselves from His Highness to secure their political future.

I'm a fan of the old Drew Carey Show reruns, it is difficult for me to accept that he became a game show host.
