The 50-year farce that I bought into for most of my life is over.

Nothing more. nothing less.
We need lots and lots of import tariffs. Then after that, more tariffs.
The bamboo curtain works cause we’ve been letting it work. I hope Trump holds the Chicoms responsible for this mess. If we go back to business as usual then we’re toast. Our media,politicians,universities,corporations are saturated with spies. This flu deal is like having a sexual relationship with a person for a long time and you get an STD and the person knew all along that they had it.

The world has been pathetically naive.
Pray for Trump’s re-election...and then Pence’s turn for 8 more years!
Pence is a Free Traitorҁ. No thanks. We can do better.
