On the campaign trail, I was asked to describe my opponent's term if they should be elected in a single word.
For Trump, I said "uncertainty"
I chose that word because he isn't guided by some sort of overarching principles.
The only guide he has is "might makes right." The only thing he knows is conflict and creating uncertainty.
Look at his tariff policy. One one day, off the next, back on again. It's creating uncertainty in the market, and that is having a dragging effect on the economy, even without tariffs in place.
His foreign policy is similarly bombastic. One second he's talking about owning Greenland or Panama or Canada, the next he's going back and forth on Ukraine, all while continuing US policy of fully backing Israel, even when their government does wrong. We also see very clear signs of a possible looming conflict with Iran.
It's creating uncertainty on the world stage in a way that is creating more strife against this country while also failing to disengage the war machine. This could cost our nation billions of dollars and untold numbers of lives if we engage in a war.
We must demand more transparent and concise governance that can focus itself on reducing the size and scope of the federal government while respecting the rule of law and constitutional process.
