       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump delivers his “State of the nation” address to the Republican counterfeit CONgress (elected in accordance with the fraudulent 17th amendment):

       … I have … imposed a 25% tariff on foreign aluminum, copper, lumber and steel because if we don’t have, as an example, steel and lots of other things, we don’t have a military and frankly we just won’t have a country very long.

       …  Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again.  And it’s happening.  And it will happen rather quickly. 

       NOTES:

• If a 25% tariff were added onto every imported good coming into the nation it would only generate revenue of slightly less than 1,000,000,000,000 “dollars,” not even enough to pay the interest on the national debt.
• Although Trump used the word “country” here, the editors believe that he meant to use the word “nation,” in which a central government, with almost limitless power, treats its constituent states as mere enclaves, provinces, or sub-divisions of its greater self; as opposed to “Union,” which is a union of sovereign States under a federal system, with a central government whose powers are strictly limited by a respected Constitution.

       An unlawfully elected senate (in accordance with the fraudulent 17th amendment) confirms Linda M. McMahon, co-founder of Titan Sports, to be Secretary of Education.

       Question: If Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump had intended to dismantle the Department of Education, why did he bother to appoint McMahon?
