Why are _all_ bodily fluids of low viscosity?
Mucus is the highest but that's only at zero shear. It drops to not much higher than water when disturbed, pumped, e. g., when you sneeze.
From the physics POV, maybe heat and mass transfer rates must be as high as possible.

Trump panders to and highlights the most ignorant confused 5% of his base. Trump even makes up things they never asked for, e. g., Alcatraz, so they look even more ridiculous. The strawman reinforces the anti-democracy argument of the elitists: Voters are too deranged to have any political power.

It's hard to be likeable, popular and agreeable when your idea of public service is to self indulge in fantasy. That's true for everyone on the legacy media plantation especially "the establishment."

Not that renaming depts. does much, but "Dept. of War" wasn't intended to turn the U. S. into a jingoistic country or even project power.
It's to compensate for all those years of offensive wars under "Dept. of Defense."
"Highway Dept. remained 'Highway Dept.' but that was rare."

Trump is making a mockery of popular government by highlighting the stupidity of the dumbest 5% of voters.
It's all kayfabe. The elites Trump is ostensibly opposing will pounce. They'll conflate the dumbest 5% with the majority of voters:
"You want such stupid voters deciding economic policy?"
