He could also pull an LBJ and refuse to run for a 2nd term, or lose in the Republican primary.
As George Bush Sr. said (on The Simpsons), "I accomplished everything I wanted in my first term, so there was no need for a second." Trump is already the greatest President in history. I'm sure he could point at the wall today and his supporters would see it.

And our geese will blot out the sun.

Every time I think, "Really? Is this guy really that damn dense?" he comes up with crap like this.

"From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!"

Reality has become so absurd, it's no wonder Woody isn't funny any more.

Re: The Trump Effect and the State Of The Union
Phat writes:
The only reason I posted in the Trump Presidency thread is that we have such a polarization of political and ideological thought in this country.
And yet your PragerU tries to lump conservatives and liberals together. "We" have the same values but "they" (the Left) don't. He as much as says that "they" don't love their children the way "we" do. He might as well say that "they" don't feel pain the way "we" do or that "they" enjoy slavery. He's dehumanizing "The Left". That's step one in being able to do anything "we" want to "them".

I believe tariffs are not "less government regulation". They are more government regulation. I believe tariffs are not "more free marketing". They are less free marketing.

There is a big difference between conducting foreign affairs ("regulating commerce with foreign nations"- it's in the Constitution) and meddling in the personal lives of the citizens.
Tariffs are paid by the consumers of the goods. They are meddling in the lives of the citizens.

Trump's holding the line on EPA regulations alone is a contributing factor in today's record setting economy.
Helping big corporations to ruin the environment for the people is also meddling in the lives of the people.

Re: Global Conspiracy from Both Sides
Phat writes:
Socialism seeks to capture and govern the world through oppression via mandatory consensus and government regulation.
Nonsense.
Socialism seeks to have each contribute what he can and each receive what he needs. Jesus said the same thing.
Phat writes:
ringo can crow about how it is what Jesus would approve of yet fails to take into account our fallen (or flawed) human nature.
We have no fallen nature. "The Fall" is a lie. God said so.
We do have a flawed nature. That's why Jesus had to tell us to do it.

Trump should just claim a piece of Greenland, like Canada did. That's a pretty sweet island. (Notice the layers, Faith.)
