He's not criticizing the country. He's criticizing the military and the political leadership. There's a very big difference between the two. It's actually a major issue in bad political reporting that people will conflate those entirely distinct entities.

Just stop enforcing the DMCA on American work. Or, how about no more US copyright law in Canada? That would be exciting.

Right, but he can't raise income tax very much, and he needs money to give to all the rich fuckers, so a big federal sales tax "disguised" as a tariff is a decent way to raise funds.

Elders are not the solution. Hero worship is a fatal flaw, and this author might know that, but the headline suggests otherwise.

People have said that, but I disagree. I think that fascists really are that stupid. It looks like a strategy because a lot of mainstream media has been happy to embrace the chaos, all they want is that 24-hour news cycle. But if you look at reliable political writers, people who think long-term, none of Trump's bullshit baffles anyone.
If you think about the tariffs, he was trying to flex because he's a narcissist, and people around him, perhaps including himself, were getting richer through insider trading. It's a basic scam. Everyone understands it. No one is baffled.

The average consumer doesn't care about that aspect though.

They do, of course. There's plenty of rice of other kinds.

If Musk actually does go to Russia, then I think any of his American investments will be up for grabs. That would be quite entertaining.

Yes, very publicly, but remember that they lie about everything anyway. So it's not like the world is a better place because two pieces of s*** are insulting each other in front of the world. They could fight today and work together next week if they think it'll get them more power and money, because that's all they live for.
