*Trumps power is rapidly approaching dictatorial levels because Republicans control the House and the Senate and they are all terrified of the man because, as of last december, 72% of of people who call themselves Republicans strongly approve of him, and 18% somewhat approve of him; so if Trump so much is frowns at a Republican congressional critter he will lose his primary in the next election and he will then have to get a real job, and for them there's no greater horror than that. So it all hinges on his popularity and that's where he may be vulnerable. I was very surprised to hear that Trump recently indicated that the country is heading towards a recession, I didn't know he was smart enough to figure that out, but he's not smart enough to figure out that his tariffs are what's driving the countries once thriving economy into a ditch, apparently he still believes it's foreign countries that pay the tariffs not domestic importers, and he's not smart enough to realize that the quickest way for a president to destroy his popularity is through a recession or an inflation, and tariffs are great at producing BOTH.*
*And that's not all. Trump recently fired 10% of the employees of the National Science Foundation, the only part of the federal government devoted to pure research, and that will certainly not do the long-term economic health of the nation any good. Then Trump fired 1200 biomedical scientists at the national Institute of health and 750 scientists from the Center for Disease Control, and if we have another pandemic, which is not at all unlikely given the fact that Robert Kennedy Junior is in charge of the nations health, that is not going to play well with the masses. * *And to give you an idea of Trump's scientific acumen, during his State of the Union address Trump talked about the foolish Democrats who spent $8 million to study transgender mice eliciting howells of laughter from his fellow Republican airheads, however the study was NOT about "Transgender mice" but "Transgenic mice", animals that have genes from other species that have been inserted into the genome of mice through genetic engineering in order to study cancer and other diseases. Similar sounding words with very different meanings. * *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* r4n -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
