Some
Republicans in the Congress and media are bluffing on support for
conservation of the national integrity and well being of the United
States. They oppose a simple tariff on Mexico that the President is
imposing because some of their owners global business interests might
be affected. They prefer comfort and prosperity over national
security.
Statecraft
sometimes requires taking difficult measures. It isn't always a bowl
of cherries with an existential disregard for borders and security.
Anyone in their right mind knows that illegal drugs and aliens flow
by the billions and millions into the United States from Mexico. The
rich can always disregard those for them trivial problems because
they are external to their personal riches and business. President
Trump is a little different on that point; he actually seems to care.
President
Trump in some respect runs the executive branch with the attitude of
a business CEO seeking the well being of the company. Some recent
Presidents of the United States have been government weaselcrats
seeking mostly to enrich themselves and messing up international
affairs and running up public debt.
If
the United States ever tried to reform capitalism or government
spending the Congress is far too satiated for-themselves to ever
tolerate the slightest correction of policies that would lead to
public national health. What a worthless bunch of investors.
