While I do believe that tariffs can at times be good, it's apparently never worked out when U.S. Presidents have gotten heavy handed with them. I started a thread that gets into this, as well as a better solution to American problems that doesn't involve tariffs here: 1 Quote

Sen. Paul is a doctrinaire American, like Barry Goldwater: a good senator but a terrible president. Quote

Singapore has no tariffs whatsoever -regardless what tariffs other countries impose. Tariff war? Domestic abuse: "I'll stop hitting my wife when you stop hitting yours." Quote

Rand Paul is not a fit for 2025. We need neutralizers of the woke movement. He doesn't have the constitution for it. Quote

Or people like Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Wrong. Our Founders designed a system for statesmen, not radical activists (Democrats) and capitulators (RINO's). Trump is neither, but he is the antidote for the woke virus and that's what we need right now. 1 Quote

I reckon that Lincoln, weird, was no psychopath. Trudeau Snr similar. Quote
August1991 Posted April 16 Author Report Posted April 16 Rand Paul is an ideologue. Your founders made it difficult for him to be President. Quote

I reckon that Lincoln, weird, was no psychopath. Trudeau Snr similar. Carter, Clinton, Bush (to a lesser degree) Obama and Biden are/were all psychopaths. The system was designed for statesmen, yet psychopaths still got into power - and in the last presidency, a woke psychopath. Trump is not ideal, but he is the correct response to woke psychopaths, and once he's been able to establish the new normal, anyone who isn't a border erasing psychopath will see that.

August1991 Posted April 18 Author Report Posted April 18 When it comes to politics, I've always liked the phrase of the economist Milton Friedman. I may misquote. You will never have a good politician. At best, you will have a politician who will do good things. Quote
