tRump is a moron. He's incapable of seeing the logical consequences of his decisions just like his ignorant MAGA cult. But that's OK because they are all incapable of caring too about the consequences of their decisions too.

And yet the airlines report record numbers of people flying and the hotel industry reports record guest spending of 777 billion dollars. I do not know whare CNN found these figures. Maybe they are looking at the United Kingdom instead of the United States?

That is the price of isolationism. In a way kings used to live like this only able to use what they had in there reach. Japan and South Korea are key examples of how and why these systems fall apart in the modern era.

If you were a small king in an isolated pocket, this is how you would get luxury goods. We could today go to Wendy's for something 10x better. Thats sluming it. We also have the collective knowledge of the internet and grocery stores that throw away more food then these kingdoms ever had fresh.

These billionairs want to have the powers of kings but can't comprehend the sacrifice of unilateral power over shared collective bargaining and it's potential.

I think he did because border crossings are getting worse. Some people are getting not only searched enter the US which is understandable but also when they leave the US. Phones are searched, and if you delete social media apps you have to log in and show your account. It becoming more of a hassle and not worth it so I believe that he wants the borders complete closed. It's less of a hassle to get in and out of China
