Iraq needed Saddam?

Perhaps Moscow Mitch and the Senate Republicans see Trump as stable enough for their interests which are not so much democratic as they are republican nationalist.

---

...After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world. I am strongly of the opinion that the great majority of people will always find these are the moving impulses of our life. But it is only those who do not understand our people, who believe that our national life is entirely absorbed by material motives. We make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth, but there are many other things that we want much more. We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization. The chief ideal of the American people is idealism.
Calvin Coolidge

Competition is at the core of these issues.

Do ethnic minorities compete with ruling majorities?

Do Communist and Capitalist ideologies compete?

Does China and the US compete for global oil? Will they?

​

Does International Terrorism threaten US interests and if so, are we essentially competing? And if so, with whom? What does terrorism hope to accomplish?

Perhaps you can offer your assessment as to what the core issues are then. Note that the conservatives supported Trump's assassination of that general.
Perhaps it helped the competition? Or am I missing something...

if we had open borders and my $18.00 an hour job got downsized to a 12.00 an hour job, and the immigration labor was willing to do it for less, I most certainly would be competing against other nations. Why do you think we fight so hard for seniority?Off Topic, I know. Perhaps you can help us refocus.
