The tariffs will go into the US treasury. Trump already thinks of the treasury as his own personal piggybank. Another grift perpetrated on the US consumer.

Hey, let's get serious...
God knows what he's doin'

“In feeling there is plurality and unity and without contradiction. There being no relations and no terms. And yet, on the other side, more than bare simplicity, we experience a concrete whole as actual fact.”

Trump doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone.

EVERYTHING that Trump does is motivated by one thing.

Self-enrichment.

EVERYTHING is a shakedown.

The jury debating free will verses determinism is still out. There is more evidence supplied by Neuroscience to suggest that behavior is determined by biology, than there is of the existence of a general will. The general will is simply an index of instrumentally induced behavior.

The modern-day opinion poll reveals that the will of the public is an orchestrated response. The motivational nexus for volition is external stimulation and not some mysterious internal conviction shared by others that miraculously unites.

consensus of the general will- a theory at odds with itself. Co-existence and absolute independence are incompatible concepts. The individual will of each voter retreat to the metaphysical abyss where they conjoin and reemerge as general will in the person of the president.

The president is the vestigial member of absolutism. Instead of deriving power from providence, the president is delivered power from an equally problematic source- the general will. The office of the president is said to acquire its authority through the

Protagoras summed it up seven centuries before the fall of Rome. “Man is the measure of all things.”

A contingent existence is granted no furlough. The relations of a contingent existence; time, space, cause and effect, are comprised of terms which never meet in endless regress. Humans chasing their own reflection into the shadows.

Humankind can’t have it either way. Humankind can’t win a war with itself. The two sides of human nature; the corporal and the spiritual, matter and mind, constitute a metaphysical absolute. A symbiotic relation the rupture of which spells annihilation; nonexistence.

Like the jackass equally distant from two bales of hay who perishes from hunger because it can’t decide which bale to approach.

A pragmatic application calculates value in the enactment; successful achievement becomes a truth value, an act a posterior. Humankind is trapped in the middle, locked in a tug-of-war with itself, unable to come to grips with the fundamental issues of existence, incapable of finding direction.
