Trump is trying to be a mob boss. Thank goodness some people are beginning to notice. The current administration is uninterested in national welfare, only in extracting wealth and power. Thanks for writing about this.
The ‘Art of the Deal’ was about making moves that look good in the short term without considering the long game. If history has taught us anything, appeasing autocrats only makes them hungrier. It’s like handing over your lunch to the bully in school. Next time, he comes back for your lunch money. When we look at past autocrats like Hitler or Napoleon, they didn’t stop after getting what they wanted. They took that first victory as an invitation to push even further. Trump is opening a door for further aggression, not just from Russia, but potentially other powers like China as well. It’s a strategy that may look good in the short term, but it has the potential to backfire on a scale we’re not ready to imagine. Let’s hope the world doesn’t have to learn this lesson again the hard way. Thank you John ...
