In essence, they'd be playing a simplified version of the game, missing out on opportunities for more sophisticated and effective gameplay.

This one-dimensional player might be oblivious to the game's complexities, like how tariffs can impact domestic industries, international relations, or global supply chains. They'd play reactively, responding to immediate pressures rather than anticipating + shaping outcomes through nuanced strategy

They'd focus solely on direct, linear interactions, such as increasing or decreasing tariff rates without considering broader implications or leveraging other tools like trade agreements, quotas, or diplomatic relationships.

In the multi-dimensional game of tariffs, a player who operates one-dimensionally is like a chess player who only moves pawns forward and backward, ignoring the strategic possibilities of other pieces like knights, bishops, and queens.

6/6 This concerns me deeply. Trump’s behavior is concerning and could point to mental illness. We need to ask ourselves: Shouldn’t something be done when a president is no longer fit to serve?

5/6 But what if those in power are too spineless to act? If the Republicans who could trigger this process are too afraid to intervene, what happens then?

4/6 The 25th Amendment offers a solution, allowing the removal of a president deemed unfit, but it requires action from the cabinet or VP.

3/6 It makes me wonder—did the founders of this country anticipate a president becoming mentally unfit to serve? What happens if a president’s behavior begins to harm the nation?

2/6 It’s especially concerning when he targets people he appointed, including cabinet members. This personal vendetta, constantly attacking those who expose his flaws, raises serious questions about his fitness for office.

I'm no expert in psychology, but Trump's continuous attempts to hurt, damage, or ruin anyone who disagrees with him seem indicative of a mental disorder. This obsession is a massive waste of time and energy. 1/6

How do you deal with someone for whom a bag of sand just isn’t enough? It’s truly nauseating.

Time: A million seconds is about 11.5 days. A billion seconds is almost 32 years!
The difference between a million and a billion is truly enormous. It's easy to say the words, but much harder to grasp the sheer scale.

Imagine a single grain of sand. That's one million.

Now picture a bag of sand, the kind you might use for a small sandbox. That's a billion.

It's a bit more tangible than abstract numbers, right?

Here's another one:
