The mercurial President Donald Trump has so far broken nearly every promise he made during his campaign. But that's not as bad as embracing Russia tyrant Vladimir Putin harming freedom
I wish the world thought about this comment. "Imagine if FDR had listened to the extremists who wanted to stay out of World War II. What kind of world would we have today? The Nazis and radical Japanese government would have dominated it."
Ray, I like your and Peter Beinhart's thoughtful articles on substack.
It's so good to read opinions like this that are exactly what the truth is without doubt, I believe the majority of humanity knows this too as there are also people that don't understand this truth,..let's hope for the best as these greedy dictators at the last decade or so of their lives won't benefit from their greed being too busy causing grief.
I always take my time and learn something about myself and the world from your posts, Ray. Just my opinion, but there's a lot of people who don't want to be bothered with human decency if it means they are obligated to think about aid to Ukraine or think about stopping genocide in Gaza or even think about funding FEMA aid here at home or USAID work abroad.
There's plenty of people who choose political purity tests for politicians instead of demanding moral integrity from them. It's why Orland Park has the mayor/ liquor commissioner we have.
Trump failed to deliver on one of his most important promises to bring down prices "ON DAY ONE" his words. Inflation continues to run rampant, the market is dropping, and prices continue to rise ... Yes, he did try to stop illegal aliens from entering this country but what about us the taxpayers and homeowners who continue to suffer? And, now he wants to have a Valentine's Day with Communist Tyrants like Putin and abandon Democracy and Freedom in Ukraine. Trump's in trouble. His empty bragging is going to backfire on him ... and please get rid of Elon Musk ... he's harming our American workers
Are you serious when you say Trump has done very little in his first 30 days in office? Really Ray. Did you know he closed the border, its all over the news. Remember Drain the Swamp? Well its time to do that again Put on Newsmax and see what he is doing like stopping all the stupid grants we sent everywhere. Elon is sending a message that waste and non-performing workers have to go. Lets remember Trump is a businessman and politicians hate that. Both parties hate him. This is our chance to expose all the corruption in Washington People are fed up with us sending money for wars that are not ours. Let NATO pay. The people have spoken have they not?
The White House is already controlled by a businessman who donated millions to elect Trump. <-- That's what I just said businessmen do, pay to play. Trump's currently letting a businessman control government. There's no such thing as businessmen fearing Trump. There's nothing for businessmen to fear or control from Trump. He's not holding anyone accountable except for national parks workers and IRS agents. The businessmen doing Trump’s job for him don't even need to produce independent verification that any efficiencies are real. Again, what's to fear when there's no accountability, no independently verified efficiencies? Doesn't that seem odd to you? No business I was ever involved in was run in this manner.

Politicians hate businessmen? Who do you think funds political campaigns, all the way down to the school districts and liquor commissioners?
True but what I meant was they don't want is a businessman in the White House whom they cant control
