Why all the Chaos?

Why is Trump creating all the chaos on so many fronts both domestically and internationally?

This is part of the authoritarian play book to enable him to seize power by creating chaos and protest in the US so he can declare martial law and invoke the insurrection act to imprison and silence critics be them political or journalists.

To do that he is destroying the federal government by having Elon Musk take a chainsaw indiscriminately to all kinds of government departments. This is creating protests across the US against the cuts, but not enough to warrant an executive order of martial law, yet. Now that Elon has identified that Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare are filled with fraud and could be trimmed up to $700 billion per year if these programs are cut. I would suggest that the loss of benefits will spark more protests if people feel threatened.

Trump is wreaking economic havoc on the US through tariff’s against not only Canada but every country they trade with creating consequences to the US public increasing inflation and job loss. Trump is also trying to pass massive tax cuts in the process that benefit the richest 1% the most to the tune of about $4.5 Trillion in tax savings. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Farmers who cannot afford needed fertilizer due to the tariffs on Canadian imports like Potash are seeing foreclosure signs going up on their farms. Economics will draw protest especially given the promises to end inflation starting day one Trump made, but eggs are up since his election not down. This too can draw protest especially if inflation continues to increase while the job market recedes creating stagflation, which is not good.

Still to come is a federal ban on the drug Mifepristone that is used by women for a chemical induced abortion. After the Dobbs decision reversing Roe v. Wade and a woman’s reproductive choice, Judge Mathew Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by Trump to the Federal bench in Texas, tried to ban Mifepristone but the ban was overturned by the Supreme Court on standing. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of the FDA he could suspend Mifepristone based on further studies needed, the basis for the Texas case. Nothing can then be done until the FDA decides. Trump owes his evangelical anti-abortion gun toting MAGA supporters and Project 2025 lays out as it’s policy to eliminate abortions nationwide. Taking away freedoms to half the population one would expect would trigger more demonstrations and protests.

Trump has suspended Transgender rights in the military and all DEI programs and references to the contributions of Blacks, Women and minorities across the Federal government and agencies including the military are to be removed. Policies on the support of Israel and its war on Gaza as well as Trump’s pivot to support Putin and Russia in the invasion of Ukraine all contribute to potential protests of Trump and his administrations policies.

Trump is a wrecking ball right now trying to create Chaos and the only reason I can logically think of as to why, is that he will use the protests and the economic situation he is creating to initiate martial law, lock up his opponents and suspend areas of the constitution or just ignore them. Trump sees that the Supreme Court gave him unlimited power allowing him to do what he wants with no accountability or consequences, even if he breaks the law.

Trump could, like Lincoln did, lock up anyone under the insurrection act and ignore the right of habeas corpus, a protection from illegal imprisonment. Lincoln did this during the civil war, and while that violates the constitution, if the chief executive will not follow enforce the law who will? Andrew Jackson defied the court ruling against moving Indigenous People off their lands, challenging the court with “you and what army are going to enforce it.”

Both Lincoln and Jackson got away with violating the constitution and the law and they did not have the protection of the Supreme Court like Trump does. If the chief executive who is charged with enforcing the laws of the United States ignores that responsibility and acts in their own interests, then one of the keys to democracy, the rule of law is sliding towards law of rule.

If Trump were to do as I have outlined, that will cement Trump’s intention to seize power as a dictator, having destroyed the legitimacy of the rule of law, the last guardrail of democracy in the US, unless both the House and Senate move to remove him. I would not count on that as those who support Trump are such emasculated cucks, that they will willingly drive the US off a cliff in fear of Trump.

Leader of the Free World

If America believes that their President is the de’facto leader of the free world, well then as a member of the free world, I implore the American Electorate to vote in someone who is best to lead the free world by standing up to Authoritarians and Dictators, not kissing their ass like some emasculated Dictator-cuck-wannabe.

Think of the countries that autocrats govern over and look at the standard of living that occurs there. The average Russian makes $1,130 US per month, China, most live in squalor earning less that $600 per month. Then there is Kim Jong Un, a communist dictator where people earn a whopping $80 per month and famine is a constant threat. Yet these leaders are who Donald Trump Idolizes? This makes no sense if he truly is for the US working class man or woman. The average monthly Salary in the US is around $5,000 per month, so why would any American want an Authoritarian regime structure where they will earn less? Oh that’s right, for Trump it is not about average Americans realizing the dream, but his own narcissism and greed. If life is so good under these dictatorships, then why does no one immigrate to them? You never hear of an immigration problem at the border with South Koreans wanting to immigrate to the North do you.

America needs to realize that the leader of the Free World needs to be someone who acts as the leader of the Free World and not act like a kiss ass subservient wimp when dealing with leaders who brutalize their populations and constantly threaten their neighbors? A true Leader of the Free World stands up and calls these dictators out for their economic failures, oppression, and threats. The Leader of the Free World does not call them strong, intelligent and powerful, with envious adulation and adornment.

Just look at how Trump never condemned Putin for the political assassination of Alexander Navalny. Instead, Trump tries to equate himself as a political prisoner similar to Navalny. I know WTF? Navalny was in a Siberian Penal Colony, had no due process, but Trump is a victim? A victim who travels freely, has access to McDonalds and gets to play golf. Yes Trump is a true political prisoner approaching that of a martyr or victim for sure.

Electing the Leader of the Free World means not electing someone who is always whining they are a “victim”, and nobody likes them. That is the last thing anyone wants to hear from a leader. True Leaders don’t go on about how they are “victims” whenever things don’t go their way and gaslight blame. True Leaders owe up to mistakes, learn from them and diligently try to ensure they don’t happen again. A true Leader of the Free World worries about their citizens and citizens everywhere. They stand up for injustices; they don’t act like 5 year olds throwing a tantrum.

If a friend of yours was getting involved with some bad people trying to guide him to making poor life choices that will affect them and a lot of other people, would you not step up and say something to them? You would if you are a true friend. So I want to say to all my Americans friends the election of your president impacts not only you, but your international neighbours and friends. You need to realize the enormous responsibility of electing a President and the de’facto Leader of the Free World. Donald Trump, is not in the best interest of Americans and the Free World period. Trump has sided with conspiracy and lies, he wants to be a dictator and destroy American Democracy to empower his masters, Putin, Xi, and Un, and turn his back on decades long allies and trading partners like Canada. An election of Donald Trump would not only result in serious harm to the tenets Americans hold most dear, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it would affect democracy throughout Western nations legitimizing the image of Authoritarianism. Once you set down that path, it is not so easy to change. Think of how it worked out for the countries under: Hitler, Mussolini, Gaddafi and Hussein. Not very good so do you want America even flirting with this idea of a dictatorship?

Trump as Leader of the Free World, No Thanks.

Think of the countries that Autocrats govern over and look at the standard of living that occurs there. The average Russian makes less per month than someone living in India (another authoritarian country). In China, Xi has at times used extreme measures to control the population and most live in squalor earning less that $600 per month. Then there is Kim Jong Un, a communist dictator where people earn a whopping $80 per month and famine is a constant threat. Yet these regimes are that Donald Trump Idolizes, which makes no sense given he claims to be a Capitalist. The average monthly Salary in the US is around $5,000 per month, so why would any American want an Authoritarian regime to run the country given the economic train wreck that has occurred in these other countries?

America needs to realize that the leader of the Free World need to be someone who acts as the leader of the Free World and not act like kiss ass subservient wimp towards leaders who brutalize their populations and constantly threaten all their neighbors? A true Leader of the Free World stands up and call these dictators out for their economic failures, oppression and terrorist cyber attacks on Western infrastructure. The Leader of the Free World does not call them strong, intelligent and powerful, with envious adulation.

Look at how Trump has had on condemnation of Putin for the recent political assassination of Alexander Navalny. Instead of acknowledging Putin as a ruthless tyrant, Trump tries to equate himself as a political victim similar to Navalny. Yes, Navalny was in a Siberian Penal Colony, had no due process, but Trump is a victim, who travels freely, has access to food and medical care, and gets to play golf. A true politicial prisoner…..

Electing the Leader of the Free World also means not electing someone who is always whining they are a “victim”, and everyone is against him. That is the last thing anyone wants to hear from their leader. True Leaders don’t go on about how they are “victims”, whenever things don’t go their way. True Leaders owe up to mistakes, learn from them and diligently try to ensure they don’t happen again. True Leaders of the Free World worry about citizens everywhere and standup for injustices, they don’t act like 5 year olds throwing a tantrum because no one likes him.

Sometimes it is hard to look at things when you are so close to the issue. It is hard to be constructive in one’s analysis of what is the true situation going on when one is emotionally involved. Americans have been pulled by two polar opposite parties and narratives, to the point where trust of one another is difficult at best and so the undeniable truth often gets lost.

If a friend of yours was getting involved with people guiding him to making poor life choices that will affect a lot of people close to them, would you not step up and say something to them? You would if you are a true friend. I have watched what is going on and reported by not only US news, but other North American and European News agencies with regards to the US political system. I have read books by authors of both sides as I believe in looking at things from all sides.

So I want to say to all my Americans friends as a person who cannot vote in your elections but has to hope that Americans realize the enormous responsibility of electing a President and defacto Leader of the Free World, electing Donald Trump, is not in the best interest of Americans and the Free World period. Trump has sided with conspiracy and lies, he wants to be a dictator and destroy American Democracy to empower his masters, Putin, Xi, and Un, and turn his back on decades long allies and trading partners.

An election of Donald Trump would not only result in serious harm to the tenets Americans hold most dear, Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it would affect democracy throughout Western nations legitimizing the image of Authoritarianism.
