Sorry, but this is not a solution. It kicks the can down the road to make it a 2028 campaign issue. While that may be fine with some of you, playing politics and not getting a real solution is how you end up with things like Dobbs happening.

OMG - the Founders put the power to tariff in the hands of the legislature. It’s similar to how the CiC has operational control of the military, but cannot declare war. He really is the most clueless and historically ignorant person to ever hold high office.

The terrible economic policies of this administration are starting to really make their effects known among the people and parts of the country that support it most. I have doubts they’ll vote blue in ‘26, but they very well may sit home.

First, the hiring of an incompetent, misogynistic, blithering drunk to be SecDef, then a monetary settlement for Ashli Babbitt, plus a military honors funeral for her, and now this. Trump’s race to the bottom has no speed restrictions or finish line.

I read your book and initially found it implausible. However, the upcoming economic turmoil with China is looking a lot like the standoff with Japan almost 100 years ago and has me rethinking things. You may also need to update the title by a few years.
