The ability to describe the conditions that a statement or belief can be said to be false is what distinguishes science from idolatry and magic. What are the circumstance that determine whether someone is a failed leader? This is not hair splitting philosophy. We have a president who has destroyed the economy destroyed the ability of government to provide basic services. And yet this is ascribed to genius not incompetence. He is a corrupt criminal vindictive individual and yet he is described as G-d's messenger. Please let me know the parameters of competence other than saying if he supports Israel he can do no wrong
I don't have emunas chachamim, so kal vchomer for this huckster.
ReplyDeleteBut he's just throwing random policies with no economic rationale, then seeing they fail
ReplyDeleteThe economy has not been destroyed. The government still provides all basic services.
he (trump) is trying to create something he can't, and thinks his tariff wars are winnable, but the laws of economics are not on his side. How can he dictate to world markets?
DeleteEventually he will have to climb off his horse, and also face crashing the economy
Wow!:The fact that the quality of government services has been severely damaged is obviously insignificant to you. Also the economy has been significantly damaged but as your friends on Fox News say it was only money
DeleteUntil 2024, the common wisdom was that government was bloated, inefficient and doing a poor job at delivery services. Something like 90% of people agreed on that on both sides of the aiscle.
DeletePost 2024, the common wisdom is that government was, in fact, streamlined, efficient and doing an amazing job until Trump came along.
You remember that scene in 1984, the one where the country at war has changed so all the references to the previous war have to be altered and the old references stuck in the memory hole? That's what you're trying to do here.
Nope! I" guess you think doing brain surgery with a chain saw is a good idea. Saying that the government was viewed as being bloated doesn't mean that there was agreement the solution was simply to destroy it. There isa a big difference between a desire for reform and wholesale firings including experts
