Undermining the health of your population is also how you lose even faster to China.
USA is devolving in every significant aspect of life quality. And this is already hitting the economy too.
USA is making itself irrelevant through immense stupidity one would have thought impossible.
Almost as if the leader of the country is an agent of a foreign hostile power.
And by almost we kind of mean exactly as if he is an agent for a hostile power, because there is nothing most of us can imagine Trump would do differently to undermine USA, allies, NATO, democracy and the west more than he is doing, if he was working exactly on that for Putin.
Yet Americans allow him to continue.
You have little imagination. day 1 ban arms exports, foreign military aid, cut all ties to Israel, Indonesia, and any other rightwing dictatorships we're propping up, order generals to release all information on past and ongoing military operations.
Appoint heads of the FBI, CIA who will release all documents and extradite the agents who committed crimes against foreign countries to those countries.
Bam, US empire over any%
He is testing the limits on how far he can go without being stopped. He can't just do anything, he isn't a dictator yet.
He is the commander in chief, he can cut arms shipments to whoever he wants and refuse to elaborate, citing "national security", as Bush did.
No he can't, when he stopped arms shipments to Ukraine that was illegal, because those shipments were approved by congress.
Congress is ALWAYS above the president when they have qualified majority.
The Symington Amendment says the president legally cannot give weapons to states committing genocide, there's a million other legal arguments the president can deploy, let the SCOTUS shoot a new one down each month, and when you get tired of that, let them enforce it.
Idiocracy manifest.
They've even begun to sell tablets to put in water, that have "electrolytes" now!
And allegedly they are very popular!!
Idiocracy is becoming steadily more accurate!!
