Trump Willing to Cut Social Security and Medicare and Declare Himself King While the People Play Games on their Cellphones

So how is this going to work during the fraud that is our national election for the Office of President of the United States?

With the democrats running on Medicare for All Improved, or what will probably end up to be improvements in the ACA and maybe an expanded Medicare, this should be interesting how they frame this.

Trump has said in the past that "unlike other republicans" he would not cut social security and medicare.  Now the work is leaked that he might just be amenable to it.

Sounds like a bait and switch to me.   They set the stage for cuts while giving hope for a major change and end up compromising to something like Obama did to save the medical insurance and medical/pharma corporations.

We're constantly being set up.  It's best not to take anything the establishment says at face value.  If they say blue is blue, do some research because it just might be black.

I also noticed Trump attacking the Federal Reserve chairman Powell while warning U.S. corporations they better get out of China. He also indicated he should be King.

As usual, the Fed did NOTHING! It is incredible that they can “speak” without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly. We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will work “brilliantly” with both, and the U.S. will do great...

....My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?

He's being mocked for his Royal Proclamation:

Leaning further into a burgeoning economic war with China of his own design, Donald Trump on Friday levied a series of bizarre demands of American companies who do business in the country.

They included an order for American firms to cease production in China.
“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”
The proclamation, which the president does not have the power to enforce, might have been expected to unleash a wave of panic and terror among America’s mostly capitalist citizenry – such state-mandated orders are, after all, the stuff of planned-economy communist countries.
But instead, America’s Twitter-sphere resorted mainly to mocking Trump and his rhetorical flourishes. Soon “I hereby order” was taking on a life of its own: from top politicians down to the man-in-the-street Twitter inhabitant."
This is on top of his recent continued sanctions against Venezuela and his ridiculous notion to buy Greenland.  
The dude is nuts and apparently there is not a damn thing we, those of us who would like to, do about. I remember warning Obama supporters when Obama started with his Executive Orders that if they accepted this from a democratic party president, they'd better be prepared to accept it from a republican party president.  Here we are, they were warned.
