It's interesting to see Gary's take on the Squeeze Out of the Working & Middle classes. If he's right we're heading towards instability because the shared prosperity and security of the post-war era has been squandered over the last 4 decades as wealth completes its redistribution back to the wealth

But he can point to a kid in the gallery who aspires to serve! Surely it's churlish to remind people that he cut the cancer care that kids like him need to survive or that he endangers serving officers?
Watching from the UK I'm with a majority of Europeans who are horrified but unsurprised by Trump

If war reaches our shores, the wealthy care about the loss of their property. Otherwise the volatility war can create can be an opportunity for the rich to profit from the ups and downs. Unfortunately, naked self-interest won't push the rich to pursue peace - sometimes the opposite

As a Brit, I'm one of many watching what Trump is doing with dismay. I genuinely think he lives in such a bubble, surrounded by yes men, that he thinks it's only a small minority that disagree with him, and that his ideas are popular.
Meanwhile, the whole of Europe is horrified by the Idiocracy

Andrew Bailey rather dodged the question when just asked whether that individual member's voting reversal indicated anything, emphasising that it was the majority view that set rates and confirming the current outlined path is slower rate reductions.

The Christian right that gives him such veneration should consider that they are committing idolatry to Trump.
The catholic catechism holds such reverence to people a breach of the first commandment.
When asked about how he prays he says about how people pray for him - he is a deeply unreligious man

It's going to be hard for any individual country to stand up to the might of the USA being turned expansionist.
Hopefully enough people acknowledge that this would constitute ethnic cleansing and that it is legally and morally unacceptable to stop Trump going ahead

Didn't Mussolini's Italy opt for installing people above their competence to ensure control, too?
