I’m just so done with politics, but let’s dive into this mess – 7 GOP senators have signed on to a bill that aims to limit Trump’s trade authority, because who doesn’t love a good game of constitutional chicken? And can we talk about how this is just a clear example of the “_separation of powers_” in action (or inaction, depending on how you look at it)?
But, I mean, come on, 7 senators out of how many – it’s not like they’re going to make a huge difference, right? I guess it’s the thought that counts, or something. And what’s with the bill itself – is it going to actually change anything or is it just a symbolic gesture to make them look like they care?
And, let’s be real, we all know how this is going to end – with Trump tweeting about how fake news is out to get him and how he’s the best trade negotiator this world has ever seen (or something equally as absurd). But, hey, at least these 7 senators are trying to do something, even if it’s just a drop in the bucket. But, I mean, what’s the point, really?
I’m not even going to get into the whole “_free trade_” vs “_protectionism_” debate, because, honestly, it’s all just a bunch of politicians talking out of both sides of their mouths (no surprise there). And don’t even get me started on the US-China trade war – that’s just a whole other can of worms. But, hey, at least we can all agree that Trump’s trade policies have been, um, “interesting” to watch.
And, on a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen that new Tiger King documentary on Netflix? Because, wow, that’s some wild stuff. But, I guess that’s what happens when you mix big cats, politics, and a whole lot of crazy. But, I digress.
But, back to the matter at hand – these 7 GOP senators and their bill to limit Trump’s trade authority. And, let’s be real, it’s not like this is the first time we’ve seen something like this happen. I mean, who can forget the whole border wall debacle? Because, wow, that was a real masterclass in “_how to make a politician look like a fool_”. And, hey, at least these senators are trying to do something, even if it’s just a tiny little drop in the bucket.
And, finally, can we talk about how this whole thing is just a perfect example of the US political system at work? Because, honestly, it’s just a big mess of people trying to one-up each other and get their way, no matter what the cost. But, hey, at least it’s entertaining to watch, right? (Or, you know, not).
