1 yYour headline question and your detail question are totally different questions with totally opposing answers for me, lmao.
I’m trying to think how to put this as concisely as possible. Brevity is not my strong suit😅
I guess I’d say what I want to see HAPPEN is more related to our citizens than to our government. In short: BE BETTER PEOPLE. I’m extremely unimpressed with “the average American in 2025.”
“Who we are as individuals and as a people” IS the problem.
When I see what our people are motivated by in life, where our priorities lie, our sometimes seemingly complete lack of empathy (or at least very selective empathy), what kind of values we have, and how easily we’ll betray GOOD values for selfish gains or even just the prospect of selfish gains…. I’m sickened and disappointed.
And an additional problem is no one will own their shit outright. They try to flip it on you and say it’s YOUR fault, because reasons, or will suggest that you’re imperfect in your own pursuit of whatever positive thing is in question so who are they to say, as if that should warrant just abandoning the positive pursuit altogether. Or the good ol’ pseudo-philosophical: “Well, WHO really defines what’s good or bad?” I mean, COME ON, man🙄😒
The truth of the matter is simple: THEY DON’T WANT TO. It doesn’t hurt them, and in many cases may stand to benefit them, so they don’t want to lose a perceived advantage, and they rationalize it to themselves and others however they can manage to. They just won’t grab their balls/lady-balls and say it loud and proud, if it’s not such a big deal, because, as aforementioned, they reverse stuff, and THEY’RE the true “snowflakes” or “betas” or whatever dumb shit they say. “Every accusation is a confession.”
Be a piece of shit in this life you’ve been given or don’t, but if you do, don’t try to amateurishly cloak it in poorly reasoned faux-logic about why discrimination is actually good, or anti-discrimination sentiments are actually bigoted, or whatever other pathetic reversal attempt you’re trying to pull off. Just….. holy shit🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Straight white dudes in particular, but really anyone out there discriminating against anyone else in any way or refusing to be a part of standing up to it…. STOP. Stop thinking less of people who are different than you. Big or small, personal or professional. We all see it, you’re not slick. FUCKING. STOP. There is NO legitimate justification. YOU’RE THE ASSHOLE.
I REALLY need all this conspiracy brain shit to stop, is another thing. That’s just outright lunacy. I don’t even have a long thing about it. It’s crazy talk. STOP.
Similarly, I also desperately need this new anti-expert, anti-education STUPIDITY to stop. YOU DON’T KNOW MORE THAN DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS AND PROFESSORS. THEY DO THIS ALL DAY, EVERYDAY, AND YOU DON’T. THERE IS NOTHING IN THEIR FIELD OF EXPERTISE THAT THEY PRESENT THAT YOU SHOULD EVEN OBJECT TO, LET ALONE CLAIM TO KNOW BETTER. THEY MIGHT BE WRONG SOMETIMES, BUT IF YOU’RE RIGHT, YOU JUST GUESSED. KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW. FULL STOP. Holy fuck, man….🤦♂️😮💨
And “fake news”…. holy shit, “fake news.” Beware of anyone who tells you the bad shit you hear about them is all lies. This is Day One stuff, people🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
And lastly, stop perverting the concept and privilege of freedom. You abuse the freedom we’re afforded when you use it to be a colossal dickhead in whatever way, shape, or form, just on the strength of “because I can.” That’s an embarrassment to anyone who ever died in the name of TRUE freedom, anywhere. Freedom to be a douchebag is in no way validation of the acceptability of it. Quit being an asshole.Brevity is out the window, lmao, but I’ll try to be shorter about Trump.
First and foremost, I expect a TON of attempts to erase history and well-earned narratives about the right wing, and particularly Trump and MAGA. I expect cruelty to already struggling groups. I expect rollbacks of rights, also to already struggling groups.Look at everything that happens through the lens of “this is being done by wealthy (mostly) white people with business interests in the American economy and want their specific hand to guide it to serve themselves and their wealthy buddies best, and throw us just enough to say they did something, and to attempt to cleanse Conservatives of their sins of the past so future generations of Conservatives won’t hear about it and won’t leave because they have the internal shame that people with decent souls feel when they support something so should-be-objectively morally reprehensible.
Basically, they want any history of discrimination to go away, and establish a society based on merit…. but the “merit” idea is a cop-out to just control the demographic makeup of a business. The reason we don’t already base it on merit alone is because our shitty American population can’t be trusted to do that, and they’ll exclude people for reasons OTHER than merit, but have “merit” as a shield to deflect any criticism.
I don’t expect the promised economic results, and maybe even economic troubles, because this dude is all of a sudden tariff-happy but he clearly has no idea how to use them. We’ll see how crazy he gets with geopolitics. No new wars, but we can’t make promises about how we’ll obtain Greenland and the Panama Canal🤦♂️
Being a bully is not the way to handle diplomacy. I can’t believe this even is a problem we have to address. I mean, Jesus fucking Christ🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
There’s so much more but I’m already exhausted, lmao. Cliff Notes: I expect mostly bad things from Trump: cruel things, stupid things, show-off things, counterproductive things, hollow things, petty things, and probably a lot of should-be illegal things.
Anything good that happens, we have to analyze and ask “at whose/what’s expense did this come?” We drilled for a bunch of oil…. but contributed to the destruction of the environment. We ended the war in Ukraine…. but gave Putin a bunch of concessions he shouldn’t get. We slashed the budget…. but now already-needy Americans will suffer. We deported undocumented immigrants…. but the farmers and contractors suffered, and our avocados cost $10 a pop.
I think we’re boned, and we only get a free and fair election in 2028 if these guys say we do, in which case we have to start having a very different conversation.

Nobody cares about trans shit more than the right. Legit, not even a Top 20 issue over here. My position on them is that they aren’t bothering anyone, so just leave them the fuck alone. Your outrage-to-occurrence ratio is all out of whack. As an example: NCAA athletics have around 500,000 athletes. HALF A MILLION. You know how many are trans? 10. 1-0. TEN. That’s all. It’s practically a non-issue, yet it was like Top 5 and maybe even Top 3 for MAGA. Most of your other shit sucks so bad and reflects so poorly on you as human beings that you cling to this barely-existent trans issue because it’s the only thing you can have any attempt at a leg to stand on. Your fascination with trans people is super weird. Literally never crosses my mind unless you guys are freaking out over nothing.
Nobody ever said anything about accepting criminal immigrants. That’s why we need faster adjudication that the bipartisan border bill would have given, but Trump struck it down. These people are still here in large part because of Trump, but he wants credit for booting them. If they got adjudicated by the federal immigration judges the bill would’ve paid for, they’d already have been identified as criminals, denied asylum, and sent home.
You guys seem to think there’s just an unchecked flood of people released into the streets, and that’s simply not what’s happening. Everyone yelling the loudest about the issue clearly doesn’t understand the basics of the overall issue. People don’t just walk up to the border and tell the agent “Hi, I’m Jose Valdez from Venezuela. I’ve been convicted of three felonies.” They have to be held and have a case presented and adjudicated.
We should be a humanitarian bastion of the world, because we can. That doesn’t mean anyone can come or everyone can stay, but that’s also not what’s happening

Sorry but you're wrong and getting inaccurate information is a what can affect you man you look just as ugly as people who think they are women. 😬 But whatever keep complaining about inaccurate information you got from CNN , MSNBC news and or ABC news. Man you and your bitchy attitude is why you can't handle someone disagreeing with you and you take it out very personally. So I told you a fact below. Why don't you shorten your paragraph instead having a long one. Nobody wants to hear you talking shit why you take a selfie with your hockey team. 😬 I think you are gay progressive which why you are getting mad over someone who manipulated you because you are easy to manipulate.

@em_5304 Ots more just that they’re barely existent, so why do you even care? It’s not learned behavior, no one is going to be “influenced” to be trans.
If you think they’re mentally ill, do you also politically go after people with schizophrenia or Down’s Syndrome? It more just that there’s like a hundred of them and you’re flipping out like there are millions, not that they’re even any of your business to start with - 1 y

For instances you don't understand anything about politics or the economy you just use what you read in college. 😬 Let me clarify this, Obama was a crappy president people only voted for him because he was black and not because he was good at politics or the economy. And people voted for him because he lied to black people. Obviously he never improved education for all students or has helped the black people because they are still poor and commit crimes.
- 1 y
Also commit crimes not matter the race is bad. But Clearly you don't think so about the movement where people who were activist who burned houses down for a false narrative aka Black Lives Matters whom Patrisse Cullors spent everyone's money including black Americans for a stupid mansion. All money wasted for nothing.
- 1 y
@em_5304 What are your qualifications to opine on any of this? Serious question. If you haven’t studied these things at the college level, it’s tough to really take your opinion with much weight, is kind of the issue. Economics are actually a fairly right wing field, unlike many studies. But it’s also more of a science than based upon opinion.
- 1 y
@em_5304 What war? The war he pulled us out of?
Or very rightly assisting Ukraine against Putin, who is the exact kind of guy this country used to stand up to, right around the time you guys harken back to as “great.” Thats money well-spent.
Not everything in life is about how much money we have. If you obsess about that you’ll never be happy and humans collectively will never break out of the bullshit we currently find ourselves in - 1 y
Did you know you f*cking idiot that Biden never did the war kept going on but the news including the leftist news never kept talking about it because it wasn't new. Trump got rid of it because he warned Russia not Biden. You must be as dumb as Biden and you use I got a degree in history but you suck a politics go figure.
- 1 y
I've talked to a person for. Ukraine and they like Trump better because he did help them in 2019 when a certain terrorist group from Russia attacked them so there is my evidence. Biden didn't pull them out of a war because it shows a lot online. Trump on the other hand talked with Zelensky. God there goes your misinformation I guess I should look it up for you. Yeah well the war is still going on reading from 3 articles. so you are wrong, clearly. You never researched it which why you suck at politics and you are dumber than you think. So you think money isn't important to Americans wasting money on dumb people like environmentalist instead of stuff that will help America is a you and a progressive problem that Biden caused under his rules.

The editorial stance of The Economist primarily revolves around classical, social, and most notably, economic liberalism. Since its founding, it has supported radical centrism, favouring policies and governments that maintain centrist politics. This is from the Economist editorial stance article found on Wikipedia.

September/October 2023 • Policy Report
By Ryan Bourne from CATO Institute
Washington has never been more polarized, so the cliché goes. American politics is reflexively hyperpartisan, plagued by bitter conspiracy theorizing, hypocritical rule bending, and tedious culture-war battles. And yet, true as that all might be, it’s a growing bipartisan consensus on economics from groups on the left and the right that’s worrying me. An ascendant conservative faction—the “national conservatives”—now sound nearly identical to the progressive left, not just on the economic policies they advocate but also on their narrative about what’s wrong with the country. - 1 y
Part 2 from CATO Institute
This movement initially seemed like an attempt to put intellectual meat on the bones of Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, creating a coherent agenda that might solidify Republican support among his working-class voters. Yet it has since taken on a life of its own, embracing the expansive role for government traditionally associated with the left, albeit wrapped in the collectivist language of America’s national interest. - 1 y
Part 3 from CATO Institute
Trump sought to marry nationalist efforts that he said would “protect” the working class from foreigners through restrictions on trade and immigration with domestic tax cuts, deregulation, and (an unsuccessful) defanging of the administrative state. The “NatCons,” however, take the logic of his anti-market economics to its logical conclusions at home, arguing not only for tariffs and less immigration but also for industrial policies, more welfare redistribution, and crusades against finance and Big Tech.
- 1 y
Part 4 from CATO Institute
That’s because the group—which includes thought leaders from Oren Cass’s American Compass to Tucker Carlson, as well as Senators Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, and J. D. Vance —thinks that free markets are to blame for many of America’s most acute social and economic ills. In their reckoning, the libertarian zeal of the Reagan-Thatcher era unleashed a free-market economic dogmatism among elites of the left and the right. Their unwillingness to intervene in the economy led to corporate-centric policies that produced underinvestment at home and an outsourcing of “real” production abroad, creating a disintegration of our industrial base, wage stagnation for the working class, worker insecurity, and speculative or wasteful activity in finance and technology. - 1 y
Part in 5 article by CATO Institute
American Compass, in particular, has been busy developing its own historic and political narrative to prove this. The organ-ization elevates the role of protectionism and industrial policy as positive factors behind the United States’ historic economic development, while painting recent trade liberalizations as misguided aberrations that sacrificed our national future for “cheaper TV sets and sneakers.” - 1 y
Part 6 article from CATO Institute
China’s entry into the World Trade Organization is seen as the pinnacle of this folly of opting for consumption over production—a move that sent American industries overseas, leading to a less resilient manufacturing base and the hollowing out of many towns. Immigration, similarly, is said to have compounded the squeeze on working-class wages, making dignified living elusive for many working-class families. - 1 y
Part 7 article from CATO Institute
American Compass has even developed its own metrics to paint a grim picture of Americans’ financial health more broadly, selectively highlighting the rising costs of certain goods while ignoring evolving family choices to imply that middling one-earner families are worse off now than in 1985. This is supposed to prove that workers haven’t sufficiently benefited from economic growth, precisely because of the pro-market agenda of “tax cuts, deregulation, and free trade.” - 1 y
Part 8 article from CATO Institute
By the organization’s conclusion, the past 40 years have been a disaster for the country and workers in particular: “Globalization crushed domestic industry and employment, leaving collapsed communities in its wake,” boomed its recent Handbook for Conservative Policymakers. It went on: “Financialization shifted the economy’s center of gravity from Main Street to Wall Street, fueling an explosion in corporate profits alongside stagnating wages and declining investment. - 1 y
Part 9 article from CATO Institute
The decline of unions cost workers power in the market, voice in the workplace, and access to a vital source of communal support.” Issues such as deaths of despair through opioids, lower male employment, and families feeling like they are struggling with basic living costs are all deemed downstream problems of this material squeeze.
- 1 y
Part 10 article from CATO Institute
Unsurprisingly, if you blame “market fundamentalism” for the country’s afflictions, then the state is looked to for salvation. In pursuing “the common good”—used synonymously with America’s “national interest”—the NatCons therefore see an expansive role for the federal government. They want it to use its powers to tax, spend, and regulate to allocate more economic resources, whether by industry, region, or socioeconomic group. - 1 y
Part 11 from CATO Institute
In their vision, the government should lean on the private sector to ensure that more activity takes places in the United States, more manufacturing occurs relative to services, more finance is directed toward these endeavors, workers are given more power vis-à-vis their employers, and families with children receive more transfers from other taxpayers.
- 1 y
Part 12 article from CATO Institute
Right-Wing Progressive Principles
Addressing the bad history and dubious empirical claims directly is beyond this article. Suffice to say, it is news to us libertarians that our ideas have monopolized Washington’s economic policy for 40 years. But what’s striking is how familiar the narrative is. It’s largely the same sort of stale, left-progressive critique of free-market economics we’ve heard for decades. Indeed, look closely and you’ll see not only that many of the national conservatives’ starting points mirror the progressive left but also that their analysis leads them to similar policy conclusions.
Like progressives, national conservatives do not think economic liberty is inherently desirable, nor that the government’s role should be strictly limited to providing public goods and dealing with market failures. - 1 y
Part 13 article from CATO Institute
Rather than constraining government as a means of allowing us to pursue our own interests, policy should instead aim to enhance the highly subjective concept of the “national interest” or “common good.” How that “common good” is defined is different from progressives—anchored, for NatCons, in championing one-earner families and manufacturing industries and supporting flyover country. - 1 y
Part 14 article from CATO Institute
But economic liberty is not seen as an essential part of the common good.
When it comes to policy goals, in fact, national conservatives share the progressive left’s contradictory stances on materialism. Their critique of our current economic policy constantly shifts from bemoaning that certain workers or regions aren’t richer (the portions are too small) to bemoaning that policy has focused too much on material prosperity or gross domestic product anyway (the food tastes terrible). - 1 y
Part 15 article from CATO Institute
The logical implication is that, like left progressives, they regard redistribution of various forms as a higher-order priority than economic growth. In championing industrial policy, for example, Cass admits it “has nothing to do with the most efficient allocation of resources” but is seen as desirable to achieve other social objectives.
When it comes to the role of government, many national conservatives want to find peace with the administrative state to help their agenda. - 1 y
Part 16 article from CATO Institute
Many of them regard today’s left as so radical that a more aggressive form of conservative governance is required—one that will use state power to “reward friends and punish enemies,” as Newsweek’s Josh Hammer famously put it. They believe it’s misguided to hope for a government that acts as neutral referee, because progressives leverage government power to mold both cultural and economic outcomes anyway. - 1 y
Part 17 article from CATO Institute
NatCons like Vance thus think conservatives should seize the administrative state for their own ends, stuffing it with conservatives, rather than pursue ambitions to abolish it. If that means giving more power to agencies that right now are overwhelmingly staffed by Democrats and would be run by Democrats circa half the time, so be it.
- 1 y
Part 18 article from CATO Institute
This view speaks to a central truth. National conservatism, as with the left progressivism of, say, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D‑MA), is necessarily a top-down, centralizing, elite project. For all its shrouding itself as a movement of the working class, the very concept of a government delivering on a “common good” that deviates substantially from people’s free will requires a small class of people to overturn the decisions of individuals, families, businesses, and states. - 1 y
Part 19 article from CATO Institute
Survey after survey, for example, shows that most workers in the gig economy are satisfied with their work, given the flexibility it affords. Yet national conservatives argue that these business models have eroded workers’ negotiating power and job security. They propose new government rules to force gig economy companies to discuss terms with sector-wide organized labor categories such as “drivers.” - 1 y
Part 20 article from CATO Institute
This approach would jeopardize the whole business model. Who would define this common good that policy should pursue? Well, the federal government in Washington primarily. Just like their progressive brethren, the NatCons want to grow Washington’s power further to the detriment of not only families and companies but also states. Tucker Carlson has himself acknowledged that building up state power further in response to the supposed libertarian dominance of current policy would likely go too far. - 1 y
Part 21 article from CATO Institute
In his own words at the 2019 National Conservatism Conference, Carlson admitted that “in a reaction against libertarianism, we’re going to make the DMV a lot bigger, and probably give them guns. And that’s bad, but there’s kind of no getting around it.” National conservatism might want a different group of technocrats directing the economy from Washington, but their vision is the same.
- 1 y
Part 22 article from CATO Institute
Indeed, the similarities with progressive government principles have not escaped the notice of left-leaning donor networks. American Compass, for example, obtains substantial funding from the Hewlett Foundation for “research on alternatives to neoliberalism.” It also obtains funds from the Omidyar Network’s “reimagining capitalism” project, which desires a “fundamental change in how corporations and capital markets operate.”
- 1 y
Part 23 article from CATO Institute
Right-Wing Progressive Policies
Unsurprisingly, given that the progressive left and nat-con right agree on so much of the diagnosis and the principles under which government can legitimately act, there’s huge overlap on the types of policies both support.
Yes, the left is much more concerned about using policy to deliver on climate change mitigation and equity goals, whereas the nat-con right wants to support certain types of industries, regions, and families. - 1 y
Part 24 article from CATO Institute
But what American Compass’s recent handbook sees as the essential “scaffolding” to support capitalism is a set of tools nearly indistinguishable from those idealized by progressives.
The overlap on trade policy is well documented. Both the left and NatCons support the use of tariffs to try to reshore domestic industry, often predicated (though not exclusively) on the threat of China. - 1 y
Part 25 article from CATO Institute
American Compass goes much further than the protectionism maintained by President Biden—in fact, echoing 1980s anti-trade leftists by calling for a global tariff of 10 percent on all imports that escalates until the country’s trade deficit is eliminated. Since basic economics suggests trade deficits are overwhelmingly determined by a country’s savings and investment levels, not tariff policy, this ratchet would become increasingly destructive, to little end. Industrial policy is seen by both as crucial to reshaping the economy toward certain industries too. - 1 y
Part 26 article from CATO Institute
American Compass celebrated the passage of the Chips and Science Act, a Democrat-backed set of industrial subsidies to boost American semiconductor production. The Biden administration has since used this approved funding to set conditions, such as requiring that recipient firms commit to deliver on childcare and equity goals. But despite how predictable this politicization of industrial policy was, the NatCons originally supported it for the same essential reason as the left. They regard it desirable that the government direct capital to encourage marginal investment in certain favored industries to deliver goals that depart from economic efficiency. - 1 y
Part 27 article from CATO Institute
The only difference is what those goals are. Given that they think the current composition of the economy is somehow “wrong,” both left and right progressives unsurprisingly rail against finance, which fails to reallocate capital to their preferences. Senator Warren used to accuse “Wall Street” of “looting” businesses. - 1 y
Part 28 article from CATO Institute
The NatCons similarly decry the economy’s supposed “financialization,” which apparently has produced too much speculation rather than proper investment. What exactly “financialization” is seems to be a moveable target, but it leads them to propose a new financial transactions tax on “secondary-market sales of stocks, bonds, and derivatives” and a ban on stock buybacks, two long-standing policies of the progressive left, to try to encourage more “real” investment.
- 1 y
Part 29 article from CATO
The national conservatives’ gravitation toward endorsing organized labor marks a considerable shift toward more progressive stances too. To be fair, their preference leans toward European-style sectoral bargaining rather than confrontational union models. Yet they also favor German-like codetermination policies, like worker representation on corporate boards, just like those Warren championed in her presidential campaign. This idolization of economic policies from nations less affluent than the United States is, of course, another shared trait among these factions of left and right.
- 1 y
Part 30 article from CATO Institute
Free-market economists would say that productivity growth is the overwhelming source of sustainable wage gains. NatCons, like progressive economists, put much weight on the need for tight labor markets, bargaining power, and a voice for workers. This leads some NatCons to unusual political stances. For instance, Oren Cass has often praised the supposed bargaining power workers have had in the tight labor market under President Biden. Firms should quit moaning about worker shortages, he says, and simply raise wages. - 1 y
Part 31 article from CATO Institute
Yet firms are constrained by the need to turn a profit and can’t pay workers more than they are worth sustainably. More important, these ultra-tight labor markets have in large part been a result of overly stimulatory policies that exacerbated inflation, which actually eroded real wages, harming those workers.
Then there’s Big Tech. - 1 y
Part 32 article from CATO Institute
Both the current Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan and her trustbusters in Congress are skeptical or outright hostile to the consumer welfare standard application of antitrust laws. Many NatCons agree. Sen. Josh Hawley (R‑MO) has proposed a “Bust Up Big Tech” bill, which would ride roughshod over customers’ preferences by simply barring large online platforms from promoting their own products and services on their own websites, whatever the effects on consumers. So no more Amazon-branded goods on Amazon Marketplace or Google Maps appearing on Google Search. Like progressives, NatCons deem certain big businesses “bad” by virtue of their size or power.
- 1 y
Part 33 article from CATO Institute
There’s also substantial overlap on the issues that they’d prefer not to talk about. Federal budget deficits and the long-term debt challenge associated with an aging population are largely ignored by both sides of this neoprogressive consensus. In fact, to the extent that they do talk about budgeting, it’s typically to defend unsustainable entitlement programs or argue for further expansions of the welfare state. Hawley, for example, wanted to “exempt Social Security and Medicare from the debt ceiling.” American Compass, Sen. Marco Rubio (R‑FL), and others have also long championed more redistribution toward families with children—increasing the entitlement state’s reach—albeit to different types of families. National conservatism, then, shares with progressives not only the analysis of what’s gone wrong with America but also many of the pillars of the progressive policy temple. It’s little surprise that this new movement has been written up favorably by progressive commentators in the media as a welcome bipartisan development. But we must be clear on what it is: it’s an agenda that believes the ills of this country arise from too much economic liberty. The solution offered is more central government direction of capital flows, the feds’ shaping the country’s regional and industrial economic composition, and new efforts to tilt the deck toward organized labor. If that sounds like the economics of left-wing progressivism, it’s because it is.

I'd like to see America follow the examples on other countries on certain things. There are certain things, especially things like employment and education that other countries do better. That's just a couple examples. America has been marching to the beat of its own drummer for far too long, and it hasn't gotten us anywhere. There are also many cultural things I would like to see changed, but I know changing culture is hard, but there are laws and policies we could implement to make life more bearable and pleasant here.
But I have hope. When Trump and that scientist were talking about wanting America to lead in research, it was the first time in a long time I actually started feeling proud to be an Amercian. Actually getting there is another issue, but I have hope. I'd love for America to become a classy and sophisticated society like western European countries.00 Reply
1 yIsolation. Trump has signed an executive order withdrawing public US Health Officials to stop working with the World Health Organization and has effectively cut off any efforts of the Center for Disease Control to help with any efforts of worldwide outbreaks. I suspect he will do this a few more times and, if he can, close the borders of the US entirely.
