What will history say about Trump?

[AceDesSpades]

Warning Bells

The Harris-Biden administration arrived in January 2021, when the economy was bouncing back strongly. Instead of allowing the private sector to thrive, it embarked on a strategy of out-of-control spending and tax increases with two objectives: increase the size of government in the economy so much that the next administration would be unable to reduce it enough in four years. The second objective was to bloat growth and job figures so aggressively that the next administration will see a recession if it reduces public sector growth. You may ask yourself why they would do it if Harris intended to win the elections. If Kamala Harris wins, she will continue to expand the size of government, inflate prices through spending and printing, and blame companies and stores for these actions.

The Biden-Harris administration has left a massive time bomb for Trump and Elon Musk’s government efficiency office if they win. It will be almost impossible to avoid a recession if they cut discretionary spending and eliminate duplicate jobs. It is the same strategy that the socialists followed in Greece, Spain, and France, by the way.

However, the socialist strategy may backfire. The evidence is that citizens do not value Biden’s policies and the state of the economy. The approval rate regarding the economy is atrociously low, 39.8%, according to RCP. United States citizens do not believe that they are better off than in January 2021. Inflation, immigration, and rising taxes have crippled small businesses and families. Furthermore, a strong pro-growth strategy and lower taxes will likely boost the dormant investment figure, create jobs in the private sector, and help small businesses achieve critical mass and grow. In Argentina, Milei recognized the necessary actions and cautioned the citizens about the inevitable reduction of the bloated state. The Kirchner socialists left a more significant time bomb legacy than what Trump might inherit. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Lower inflation led to lower taxation, an eight-month budget surplus, and rapidly improving public finances.

The biggest risk for the United States economy and the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency is out-of-control public spending and constant currency printing added to tax hikes. Healing public finances and reducing government jobs may have a temporary negative impact on GDP, but higher exports, investment, and private sector jobs will likely compensate for it, and the result will be better for the US dollar and American citizens.

You make some interesting, speculative points.
A preemptive attempt at deflecting blame from an upcoming economic misstep perhaps.
The profligate spending you pin to Biden/Harris was approved by a GOP House who accomplished little besides investigating investigations and raising the debt ceiling like clockwork.

Inflation is manageable. Job growth is steady if modest. Things seem stable for a moment.
What say we disrupt the service and agribiz sectors, play Jenga with the guts of bureaucracy and give that task to a wannabe Martian? How bad could it be? I’m not one to holler before I’m hurt, but I fear this is going to hurt.

The increased exports you hope for will be saddled with retributive tariffs.
When folks use terms like likely, I see fingers crossed and hear whistling past the graveyard.

The socialism we need is GOOD education and health care for all, not a cry for relief for another bailout.

Big Daddy is no dummy. That’s what makes him dangerous.
He’s sociopathic.
I was on X when I remarked he was ‘authoritarian.’ (Fascist)
I said I wouldn’t compare him to Hitler however. He was a lot more like Stalin.

That got my account locked. I opened a new one which was, in due course locked as well because the first one had been.

So much for Freedom of Speech on the much improved platform.
I have been reduced to hurling feces at the man behind the curtain.

I'm a Libertarian, who am I deflecting blame from? Me???

I didn't vote for Trump. I chased Oliver.

The deflection is buried in you comment: "a GOP House," as if this rendered the Biden Administration a Republican Pinocchio...

This too much fun, so much fun in fact that Bill Maher has to chip in:

Maher also delivered a hard truth to the left: Kamala Harris didn’t lose because of racism or sexism. He pointed to Hillary Clinton’s popular vote win in 2016, and the fact that Americans elected and then reelected Barack Obama.

But Maher doesn’t just criticize for the sake of it—he’s offering a solution. He urges the left to take a step back and “actually converse with the other half of the country.” He argues that the current state of the Democratic Party, with its focus on “woke” policies and virtue signaling, has pushed voters away. Maher’s frustration is palpable when he calls out the left for losing sight of common sense.

One of the more striking moments in Maher’s monologue is his defense of Democratic congressman Seth Moulton, who faced backlash for expressing concern over male athletes competing in women’s sports, which prompted a top aide to resign. Maher underscores the absurdity of the situation, saying, “the campaign manager who resigned…yeah, let that person go.” It’s an indictment of the left’s ideological purity test, where anyone who deviates from the most extreme positions is immediately cast aside. Maher’s point is clear: the left is pushing away reasonable voices in the name of woke ideology.

Sundays are Clarice Feldman days:

"[snip] There have been thousands of words written about the 2024 presidential election, but I think Jeffrey Tucker’s article at Brownstone best summarized the [mountain-] sea change in votes cast , and Victor Davis Hanson best describes the cabinet nominees so far of greatest significance, people selected in part to avenge their treatment by the prior lawless administration."

The movement from an administrative state to the sort of republic the Founders envisioned, should be easier as a result of recent Supreme Court cases reining in an out-of-control unelected federal work force. This week even the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals weighed in on the issue in Marin Audubon Society v. FAA, in which it held that the Council on Environmental Quality lacked any authority to prescribe the content of environmental impact statements, something it had been doing since 1978. Think! For over four decades this agency has been deciding when such statements are necessary (each of which cost thousands and thousands of dollars to prepare) and what they must contain while acting with no legal authority to do so....

We are living through an astonishing time in our nation’s political history. Somewhat more than half of Americans see President Trump as a leader of courage, energy, and commitment with a proven record of promoting peace and strengthening both the U.S. economy and the southern border against an illegal invasion, whereas the other half sees only personal evil in Trump and describes him with adolescent hyperbole, habitually comparing him to Adolf Hitler. That half is not able to thoughtfully assess Trump’s policies, or even its own economic or political interests. Instead, these people cling to a sense of moral superiority and are obsessed with the imputed personal sins of a man they despise.

This obsessive hatred, popularly called Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), is not a free-standing mental disorder. Rather, it is a delusional symptom cluster at the terminal stage of a sixty-year vast, progressively insane attempt by the left wing, especially the cultural, educational and political elites, to entrain the American people to despise their nation, their laws, and themselves in order to break their self-respect and mentally enslave them to government control. Few people can stand against indoctrination and brainwashing that they have been exposed to all their lives.

The terminal TDS symptom cluster arose when Donald Trump, almost alone, stood up with an unbreakable resolve and rejected to its core the quasi-religious, anti-American indoctrination inculcated and absorbed across the lifespan of most living Americans. Trump’s message, that America and her people are actually great, good, and just, created, among those indoctrinated to multifaceted America-shaming, a psychological recoil proportional to their anti-American brainwashing, a recoil so violent as to render them irrational and hateful toward the man who challenged their beliefs.

Democrats picking through the entrails of their 2024 presidential election failure can’t help their cause, because, to quote Dr. Vern Coleman, writing on another topic, “They are communists, whether they know it [or admit it] or not.” Communists have a fundamental problem with how human beings operate, and with how much progress human beings have made raising their quality of life, and they have this problem because human beings haven’t fixed all their problems yet. This non sequitur lies at the heart of communists and Democrats ultimately believing that terror will stop humans from being imperfect.

Over the past sixty years, Democrats have shown us that they are decidedly engaging in terror the more they are in power to get what they want. On a progressive scale, anyone who confronts Democrats, foils them, or even tells them things they do not want to hear is terrorized and ruined. Poor Ashli Babbitt was even gunned down in cold blood. Whether this resistance, delay, conflict, or distraction is internal or external to communism or the Democrat party makes no difference.

Progressive resistance is progressively terrorized. This is why pollsters cannot tell Democrats the truth. Pollsters know they will be assaulted or fired depending on how much they tell the emperor he has no clothes.

Communist and any serious leftist ideation has a bottomless problem with God, religion, family, commerce and enterprise (capitalism), prosperity, normal sexual mores, and the innate meritocracy of raising your brother’s quality of life for hire. They hold a fundamentalist view that there is something wrong with all of these existentialities. The serious left wants all of these existentialities blown up in the hope that something better will arise from the fallout.
