Trump the Insult Comic President. Of course, that makes the elites get the vapors when the president is not acting 'presidential.' I love it when he calls out the elites and globalists to their faces, but more than anything else, I love that he's delivering results that I want.
Germany's belated realization that shutting all its nuclear plants was a mistake reminds me of the old German proverb "To soon we get old, too late we get smart."
Interesting essay. Your descriptions of Trump are funny. I find that I like your poliSci essays very much though. Or whatever that back and forth with Mr. Arkes was. Even if I don't follow everything I follow something. Also its nice to see intellectual weight.
Solid observation on the Germany energy paradox. The fact that industry experts and officials were saying nuclear was essential even back in 2008 but political pressures won out shows how policy can ignore basic math for years. Same pattern playing out now with Japan restarting plants whle Germany's trying to figure out how they dug themselves into this hole.
I've learned that when Trump says outrageous things which rile up the establishment and cause his opposition to cry "see what an idiot he is??", it usually means that something truly wonderful (peace in the Mideast; energy independence; a secure border; the overturning of Roe v. Wade etc) is about to become reality.
The less "presidential" he talks, the more like a BOSS he governs.
I didn't read everything, but the ex post facto angle on canceling old land grants made me think of British Columbia seizing property to give back to the Indian tribe that was last there.
I loved Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Also very fond of Trump playing Rodney Dangerfield in a roomful of Ted Knights.

I wonder if Merkel's decision was a mistake or an intentional act of revenge for the fall of the Wall.
Or it could have been putting her personal ambition ahead of her country's welfare, a common failing Western politicians.
because really: who couldn't see this coming?
Should be "...too soon..."
Zu früh alt, zu spät klug
What a beautiful proverb--all words of one syllable--six words--Too soon old, too late wise.
Show-off! I'd say "Now, do it in Russian," but I know you could! AG
Mutte merkel sure did a lot of damage to Germany. Why it’s almost like she hated it and wanted it destroyed.
For the Germans on the use of nuclear power, from Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us".
I love your lead up and then the robust conclusion just before the picture of our president. Great style and good work! It was a great hook.
We are watching Trump mold the ancient post-WWII order into something better, and it's happening really fast. I'm here for it.

So now how will SCOTUS rule about the retroactive California billionaire's tax that has been proposed? Will the ex post facto clause apply to it?

Spoken Swiss German is a secret code.
