Trump Administration Predictions (2 Viewers)

[Isaac]

A society based on immigration as a way to collect the best and the brightest from around the world.

Wait, what? Is that what's really happening with the general crowd coming in on the daily?

 

[AccessBlaster]

On the bright side, "Bernie Sanders making a surprise appearance at Coachella to sermonize on the evils of wealth in front of a crowd of people who paid at least $600 per ticket".

They won't be able to trump Trump. Not even one iota. It all goes back to democracy of being elected into a powerful position. The guy is going to get the job we elected him to do done. Nonsense is an unelected opinion that has zero weight in the grand order of things that are constitutional. The constitution provides a huge amount and trust into the commander in chief. That IEEPA is what in the constitution? Nothing.

Where in the Constitution does a provide for "a huge amount and trust into the commander in chief"? The idea of the Constitution was not have a king.

IEEPA does not authorize tariffs. The President must execute the laws faithfully.

Are you saying the President can rewrite laws? Did Biden have the authority to cancel all student loans?

-Being cheated by our trading partners is good?

I am still trying to figure out how getting stuff at low prices is being cheated?

By systematically blocking our exports, cars, agriculture, dairy, etc etc etc.

If you don't understand that major principle of the separation of powers, there is no hope for you. The president alone is one of the three branches. But you will soon see that there is a tremendous amount of power invested in our elected president. You know, like the power to protect our borders kick the illegal's out of the country. The one thing he does not control is decisions that the FED makes on monetary policy. Can any of the other branches control the FED in any way or monetary policy?

If China or some other country tries to lower their standard of living with trade barriers, they are cheating themselves. Why should the US government lower America's standard of living in return?

In practice, China takes huge amounts of American exports. If China makes things more cheaply, we buy from them. If the US makes things more cheaply, they buy from us.

Of you were connected to construction you might have a different perspective.

Thank goodness for that.

The separation of powers vests the law-making power in the Congress, not the President. The President does not have the authority to rewrite a law.

The statement that "The President alone is one of the three branches" was a serious constitutional error by the Supreme Court. The whole process of Senate confirmation occurs because the Cabinet and agency heads have a degree of independent authority. The 25th amendment even gives the Cabinet the authority to remove the President, which makes no sense if the President can remove all Cabinet members at will.

The Federal Reserve Board is government chartered but is not exactly part of the government. The conditions of its charter are set by law and require congressional action to change.

If trade barriers didn't work most countries wouldn't employ them.

I get that you want to focus on the cheap stuff, but that doesn't do anything for the American exporter. Whose clobbered with trade barriers.

The President does not have the authority to rewrite a law.

True. But Executive Orders can tell the employees of the Executive Branch how to respond to certain situations. He can order a department to reconsider a rule in many cases. The "deep state" was (and to some degree, still is) comprised of Executive Branch staffers exceeding their authority by writing rules when Congress should have stepped in - but didn't, the dirty boogers. The president can make the deep state bureaucrats stop enforcing rules that didn't originate from Congress. Take a look at his recent order to protect the 2nd amendment that is causing the DOJ to reconsider a lot of rules promulgated illegally by ATF.

Consider the Dept. of the Interior and their Wetlands rules, and the ATF and their firearms rules, which were DEEPLY derived from rules created by Executive-Branch fiat during the Obama and Biden administrations, and that Trump's first term was marred by insane levels of TDS, there are literally hundreds of Executive-branch rules out there that are being enforced as law - and in some cases result in criminal convictions - that shouldn't even be on the books. (See also the Chevron Deference Doctrine, now defunct thanks to the Roper-Bright case.)

Specific case in point: ATF's silencer and short-barreled rifle laws, the latter being applied to braced pistols. Specific case in point: Wetlands classification rules that have the result of an uncompensated taking of property by denying the owner certain uses over standing water that doesn't enter into a flowing waterway. Specific case in point: DWF requirement for fishing boats to have an inspector who will not help with the fishing enterprise and who must be paid by the boat's owner. Non-productive overhead.

That's three examples out of a much larger bunch illustrating Executive Branch rules created by fiat that were not acts of Congress but that resulted in fines and criminal charges. If they weren't laws, they had results that remarkably resembled laws. So when you make your claim that the president cannot rewrite a law, be sure to distinguish between an actual LAW passed by Congress vs. an Executive Branch rule that, through its consequences, has the EFFECT of law.

Can any of the other branches control the FED in any way or monetary policy?

Yes, but they will not.

not exactly part of the government.

The Federal Reserve is as "federal" as Federal Express...

I guarantee FedEx abides by more federal regulations than the federal reserve, just saying.

The President must execute the laws faithfully.

Biden didn't execute the laws faithfully. Also it seems that the District Court judges now picking on Trump were amazingly "blind" by not ordering Biden to enforce immigration law. Seems that Judges appointed by Democrats have two distinct standards of justice.

Are you saying the President can rewrite laws?

Obama took the position, that if Congress failed to act, that he could implement new "laws" as he had a pen and a phone.

Did Biden have the authority to cancel all student loans?

No. In fact Biden bragged that he gave the Supreme Court the finger by circumventing them. Also Biden bragged that the Ukraine had to fire a certain individual or they would not get a US government loan. The Ukraine knuckled under and fired that individual. That was an abuse of Biden's Executive power as he did not have that authority.

And I suppose the same is true if you had my perspective or lived where I do etc

Consider the source. Biased "news" kind of defeats the purpose of the "freedom of the press." The original idea was that the people could be truly informed about a political subject. When you have an opinionated and biased reporting source, the "truly informed" concept goes out the window.
