Thanks for Emulsion and Monuments. I needed that! God save us from those egghead words like emoluments. This is why I hate myself for it, but I almost want Trump's tariff extortion of the American wallet to "succeed." No cave to china, etc. Because as always, it will have to be the economy, stupid. Which Carville said a long time ago, and remains as true today. Too many folks right now probably would re-elect Trump. But the pain to the pocketbook hasn't really hit, not yet. When it does, those who are 30% his hardcore sycophants will of course not agree he's hurting them. The same ones who refused Covid vaccines and died. But the more reasonable middler's may be ready to distance themselves. Starting in say in 2026. Pain, specifically economic pain, may the only awful motivator that can shock them off of their idol once and for all. I think we have to accept that, but it is terribly sad.
