He is a Senior Fellow at Center for Democracy and Technology, and a former chairman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.Johnson graduated from Yale College with a B.A. summa cum laude in 1967. He completed a year of postgraduate study at University College, Oxford in 1968, and earned a J.D.from Yale Law School in 1972. For a year following graduation Johnson clerked for the Honorable Malcolm R. Wilkey of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.Johnson joined Washington, D.C. law firm Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in 1973, and became a partner in 1980. His practice focused primarily on the emerging area of electronic commerce, including counseling on issues relating to privacy, domain names and Internet governance issues, jurisdiction, copyright, taxation, electronic contracting, encryption, defamation, ISP and OSP liability, regulation, and other intellectual property matters.Johnson helped to write the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (1986) Johnson was active in the introduction of personal computers in law practice, acting as President and CEO of Counsel Connect, a system connecting corporate counsel and outside law firms, and serving the Board of the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) and as a Trustee of the National Center for Automated Information Research (NCAIR).In October 1993, coincidental with the move of its main offices from Cambridge, Massachusetts to D.C., Johnson became a director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[2] In February 2005, while serving as the organization's Senior Policy Fellow, Johnson replaced founder Mitch Kapor as Chairman of the EFF Board.In the early 2000s, along with Post, Johnson was active in the re-organization of ICANN - penning several critical papers with Susan P.

Palfrey, Jr. (Aspen Institute) 2004No. 2Lawrence LessigLawrence Lessig is the Director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University, and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.Prior to returning to Harvard, Lessig was a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School (where he was founder of Stanford's Center for Internet and Society), Harvard Law School (1997-2000), and the University of Chicago Law School. Lessig clerked for Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court.His current academic work addresses the question of "institutional corruption" roughly, influences within an economy of influence that weaken the effectiveness of an institution, or weaken public trust. His current work at the EJ Safra Lab oversees a 5 year research project addressing institutional corruption in a number of institutional contexts.Lessig has won numerous awards, including the Free Software Foundation's Freedom Award, and was named one of Scientific American's Top 50 Visionaries. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.Lessig serves on the boards of Creative Commons, MAPLight, Brave New Film Foundation, Change Congress, The American Academy, Berlin, Freedom House and iCommons.org. He is on the advisory board of the Sunlight Foundation. He has previously served on the boards of the Free Software Foundation, the Software Freedom Law Center, Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Public Library of Science, Free Press, and Public Knowledge. Lessig was also a columnist for Wired, Red Herring, and the Industry Standard.Lessig earned a BA in economics and a BS in management from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA in philosophy from Cambridge, and a JD from Yale. He has received honorary degrees from The University of Amsterdam, Athabasca University, and The Georgian-American University.Code is lawIn computer science, "code" typically refers to the text of a computer program (the source code). In law, "code" can refer to the texts that constitute statutory law. In his book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Lessig explores the ways in which code in both senses can be instruments for social control, leading to his dictum that "Code is law."Legislative reformDespite presenting an anti-regulatory standpoint in many fora, Lessig still sees the need for legislative enforcement of copyright. He has called for limiting copyright terms for creative professionals to five years, but believes that introducing the bureaucratic procedure needed to renew trademarks, by making copyright need to be renewed for up to 75 years after this five-year term, would mean that creative professionals' work, many of the independent, would become more easily and quickly available.Free CultureIn 2002, Lessig received the Award for the Advancement of Free Software from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), and on March 28, 2004 he was elected to the FSF's Board of Directors. In 2006, Lessig was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Lessig is also a well-known critic of copyright term extensions.He proposed the concept of "Free Culture". He also supports free software and open spectrum. At his Free Culture keynote at theO'Reilly Open Source Convention 2002, half of his speech was about software patents, which he views as a rising threat to both free/open source software and innovation.In March 2006, Lessig joined the board of advisors of the Digital Universe project. A few months later, Lessig gave a talk on the ethics of the Free Culture Movement at the 2006 Wikimania conference.Lessig claimed in 2009 that, because 70% of young people obtain digital information from illegal sources, the law should be changed.Net neutralityLessig has long been known to be a supporter of Net Neutrality. In 2006, he testified before the US Senate that he believed Congress should ratify Michael Powell's four Internet freedoms and add a restriction to access-tiering, i.e. he does not believe content providers should be charged different amounts. The reason is that the Internet, under the neutral end-to-end design is an invaluable platform for innovation, and the economic benefit of innovation would be threatened if large corporations could purchase faster service to the detriment of newer companies with less capital. However, Lessig has supported the idea of allowing ISPs to give consumers the option of different tiers of service at different prices. He was reported on CBC News as saying that he has always been in favour of allowing internet providers to charge differently for consumer access at different speeds. He said, "Now, no doubt, my position might be wrong. Some friends in the network neutrality movement as well as some scholars believe it is wrong - that it doesn't go far enough. But the suggestion that the position is 'recent' is baseless. If I'm wrong, I've always been wrong."Combating sexual abuseIn May 2005, it was revealed that Lessig had experienced sexual abuse by the director at the American Boychoir School which he had attended as an adolescent. Lessig reached a settlement with the school in the past, under confidential terms. He revealed his experiences in the course of representing another student victim, John Hardwicke, in court. In August 2006, he succeeded in persuading the New Jersey Supreme Court to restrict the scope of immunity radically, which had protected nonprofits that failed to prevent sexual abuse from legal liability.No. 3Steve ChabinskySteven Chabinsky served as Deputy Assistant Director and as the highest-ranking civilian position in the FBI's Cyber Division.

FisherWilliam "Terry" W. Fisher is the WilmerHale Professor of Intellectual Property Law at Harvard Law School and faculty director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. His primary research and teaching areas are intellectual property law and legal history.In his book Promises to Keep: Technology, Law and the Future of Entertainment (Stanford University Press 2004), Fisher proposes replacing much of copyright and digital rights management with a government-administered reward system. Under such a scheme, movies and songs would be legal to download. Authors and artists would receive compensation from the government based on how often their works were read, watched, or listened to. The system would be funded by taxes.Fisher is one of the founders of Noank Media, a private enterprise similar in many ways to the proposal of Promises to Keep. Noank licenses and distributes digital content by collecting blanket-license revenues from internet services providers and distributing revenues to authors and artists based on the size of their audience.Fisher was among the lawyers, along with his colleague John Palfrey and the law firm of Jones Day, who represented Shepard Fairey, pro bono, in his law suit against the Associated Press related to the iconic Hope poster.[3]An alumnus of Amherst College, Fisher received a law degree and a Ph.D. in the history of American civilization from Harvard University.

Despite Trump’s repeated mention of Wharton, his own classmates hardly remember him, and he even describes the school’s high-flung reputation as overwrought in his 1986 book, “Trump: The Art of the Deal.”In a 1985 biography of Trump, Jerome Tuccille wrote that he was not an honor student and “spent a lot of time on outside business activities.”Another biographer, Gwenda Blair, wrote in 2001 that Trump was admitted to Wharton on a special favor from a “friendly” admissions officer. The officer had known Trump’s older brother, Freddy.Source: Trump flaunts Wharton degree, but his college years remain a mystery.

Johnston said he was stunned by Trump’s lack of business acumen and stated: “Trump couldn’t answer basic business questions that a first-year Wharton student could.” This was a poser, a phony, someone who always got by on bluff and intimidation, unable and/or unwilling to do the work or take the time to learn the business or develop the business skills necessary to succeed.Source: “It's Even Worse Than You Think; What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America By David Cay JohnstonIt has become more than apparent that Trump knows little about most things and next to nothing in terms of either managing his administration, the country or in fulfilling his role as president. Not only are these accusations voiced by his opposition, but similar concerns have also been even documented by his cabinet ministers, a number of whom have called him an idiot, a “fucking moron” or as “having the intelligence of a 5th or 6th grader”.Source: “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob WoodwardThis guy is always claiming he " is like a real smart guy", yet Gary Cohn, the former White House adviser and former head of Goldman Sachs, and considered the smartest guy on Wall Street, having joined TRUMP as an advisor, stated “this man HAS THE I.Q. OF AN INBRED TANNING BED”.Cohn said he was “astounded” by the depths of the president’s stupidity. He said it was a stone-cold, mind-blowing, we’ve-never-seen-an-I.Q.-in-the-single-digits-before levels of stupidity.He called the president a joke a liar and a “con on the public“ this from Cohn, the Goldman Sachs president turned National Economic Council director. Cohn stated he came away from his very first meeting with Donald Trump “astounded” by just how dumb the guy was.“Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob WoodwardCohn gave examples of what he meant. During a chat about various economic issues, Cohn told Trump that the Federal Reserve would likely increase rates during his first term in office, to which the President responded, “We should just go borrow a lot of money, hold it, and then sell it to make money.” This suggestion and “lack of basic understanding” about how federal debt works apparently sent chills up Cohn’s spine.Source: “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob WoodwardCohn went on to explain that borrowing more money would increase the deficit and add to the debt, something that would, in theory, be counterproductive for a delusional president who had pledged to completely eliminate the federal debt. But “ I’m like a really smart guy”, wasn’t finished: The president-elect offered a solution. “Just run the presses—print money,” Trump said, Cohn suggested that would be detrimental to the fiscal and economic health of the U.S., since printing vast amounts of money leads to inflation. . . . Cohn also pointed out that there was a federal debt ceiling, a statutory limit to the amount of debt the federal government can have outstanding. Even approaching the debt ceiling can be harmful to the stock market and U.S. economic growth. But, Cohn’s message did not seem to connect. Cohn told friends “It was clear that Trump did not understand the way the U.S. government debt cycle balance sheet worked”. Of course, the fact that the 45th president of the United States is an idiot is not exactly a new revelation.Source: BOMBS AWAY: TRUMP HAS THE I.Q.

And of course, someone “purporting to represent the views” of Cohn sent an e-mail in April 2017 describing the president as “an idiot surrounded by clowns.”Source: “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob WoodwardSource A BRIEF HISTORY OF TRUMP’S ALLIES CALLING HIM AN IDIOT BY TINA NGUYEN Vanity Fair Hive FEBRUARY 6, 2018 A Brief History of Trump’s Allies Calling Him an IdiotDonald Trump would just as soon not give Obama any credit for the healthy economy he inherited, he loves to tout how well the economy has done on his watch, forgetting, on literally every occasion, to acknowledge the fact that the recovery started, oh, nine years ago, when he was busy pretending to be a successful businessman on TV.Source: CNN Trump's campaign claims about his economic record just don't add upBut Trump became particularly energized on the topic when Obama decided to weigh in on his economic legacy in a speech: “When you hear how great the economy’s doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started. When you hear about this economic miracle that’s been going on, when the job numbers come out, monthly job numbers, suddenly Republicans are saying it’s a miracle. I have to kind of remind them; actually, those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016.” And, as you probably could have guessed, that didn’t sit well with the man-child-in-chief!In spite of Trump's boastful claims, the following chart clearly shows that it was Obama who turned the fortunes of the country around and it was his success that Trump was now able to benefit from and incorrectly claim as his own.Hassett, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers was confronted by a reporter who pointed out that Trump’s assertion that the G.D.P. growth rate is higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in over 100 years was “just not true.” Hassett admitted that the claim was incorrect, saying “somebody probably conveyed it to him adding a zero that they shouldn’t have.”He also said that he didn’t know if a quote Trump attributed to former President Obama, saying that Trump would need a “magic wand” to get the G.D.P. to four percent, was true. “I don’t know. . . I’m not Chairman of the Counsel of Twitter Advisers,” he said.Source “Fear: Trump in the White House” by Bob WoodwardTrump is just not bright enough to make the connection between his conduct and its consequences. Proof of that is Mueller's culling of his many tweets wherein Trump provides Mueller and his team with his state of mind at the time and proof of witness tampering, criminal conspiracy, lying, and treason. Time and time again his legal counsel have warned him that the tweets, and speaking out, are harmful to their case. A man with even a modicum of intelligence would stop, but not Trump, this man lacks any sense of control or a filter.Trump is an aggressive dumb dick with no knowledge about virtually anything while holding fast that both allies and foes are accountable for America’s economic decline. Trump bases this false notion on his take that America is losing economic advantage and by extension, respect for him as president and secondarily that of the USA. This is manifested in his rants about reciprocal trade. In turn, he has gone ahead with fights with virtually the world and put in place self-defeating tariffs in order to address the deficit, specifically caused, according to him, by an” imbalance of trade.”He fails to understand that an American trade deficit with another country doesn’t necessarily mean that, that country is taking advantage of the USA, it means that Americans want and purchase goods and services equal to the amount of that deficit. It is called free trade, a position that Republicans held as sacrosanct and inviolable down through the millennia. Americans want and are willing to buy cheap stuff rather than support more expensive American manufacturers. They have a choice and they choose the cheaper goods.The problem with Trump, and there are many, is the fact that he never thinks. He just opens his trap and let's fly like an unguided missile blowing up all within a wide range, taking out his perceived enemies and the innocent bystander as well without hesitation, care or concern.For 72 years or more, his brain has been fermenting in his brainpan, in a virtual cauldron of vitriol, hate, fear, racism, anger, dishonesty, meanness, greed, pettiness, uncertainty, and jealousy. So as what inevitably happens when a person or a group fails to show him either the love or deference he feels he is entitled to, like the Democrats, the Fake Press, Hillary, Obama, and those he considers as “the others”, and “the shithole countries”, he uses his presidential office like some banana republic dictator to bully and threaten, to degrade, and humiliate them as a put down or as means of getting his way.This is a guy who received $413 million from his father in today’s dollars and proceeded to bankrupt 6 companies including two casinos,…. by the way, how in the hell do you bankrupt a casino, a business where the odds are loaded in favor of the house and all you do is take the suckers money. Yet Trump crashed two of them. While paying himself an exorbitant salary and knowing he was on the verge of bankruptcy, he then sold shares in both casinos, pocketed the proceeds and then declared bankruptcy, leaving the banks that financed him, and the investors who had bought shares holding the bag.Source New York Times: Trump Got $413 Million From His Dad, Largely From Tax Dodges New York Times and Bloomberg: New York Times: Trump Got $413 Million From His Dad, Largely From Tax DodgesThere’s a Trump family culture of ruthlessly pressing any advantage, stretching the truth, and pushing the legal and ethical envelope to the max. Trump’s German immigrant grandfather, came to Canada and proceeded to the Canadian Yukon, where he operated restaurants in the Gold Rush-era, and amassed a nest egg by offering miners alcohol, food, and proximity to women; and Trump's father greatly increased the family fortune by exploiting loopholes in New Deal government subsidies he tapped to construct middle-income housing in Brooklyn and Queens; and Trump himself used a billion-dollar loss of borrowed money and four corporate bankruptcies to build a global brand and avoid paying personal income taxes for nearly two decades.Source: “Inside the mind of Donald Trump”The Guardian Nov.12, 2016Source New York Times: Trump Got $413 Million From His Dad, Largely From Tax Dodges New York Times and Bloomberg: New York Times: Trump Got $413 Million From His Dad, Largely From Tax DodgesThat family culture includes an adherence to the success-oriented theology of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of the 1952 bestseller The Power of Positive Thinking. Peale was the pastor of Marble Collegiate Church, where Trump’s parents attended services. In his book, Peale emphasizes the supreme importance of self-confidence, a notion that Trump has not merely embraced but weaponized with a winning-at-all-costs, scorched-earth approach that has more than fulfilled his own father’s fierce injunction to be a “killer” in every pursuit. Among many results are a remarkable litigation history – according to USA Today, as of mid-2016, Trump had been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits, including dozens that are still active – and a political campaign characterized by an unprecedented level of venom and vitriol.Source: “Inside the mind of Donald Trump”The Guardian Nov.12, 2016Source: US Today” Exclusive: Trump's 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee”Trump had hit bottom and was bankrupt at a point in his career when no American bank would lend him a penny. It was at this juncture that the Russians saw a new opportunity. Having laundered illicit money thru his casinos, they now turned to buying an extensive number of his condo units as another means of laundering their dirty money. This is a criminal operation that is currently being fully investigated by the Feds in the southern district of New York.For virtually the last 35 years Trump was financed by the Russians, and today it is no leap in logic to see that this and perhaps other Trump “activities” have enabled Putin to keep Trump on a short leash. In Craig Unger’s book, House of Trump, House of Putin, Unger claims to unpack an “untold story,” but one of the hardest things to accept about the Trump-Russia saga is how transparent it is. So much of the evidence is hiding in plain sight, and somehow that has made it harder to accept. Although Unger doesn’t provide any evidence that Trump gave the Russians anything concrete in return for their help, “the case he makes for how much potential leverage the Russians had over Trump is pretty damning”.In an interview with Vox news updated Dec 8, 2018, Unger stated “I think all of this began as a money-laundering operation with the Russian mafia. It’s well known that Trump likes doing business with gangsters, in part because they pay top dollar and loan money when traditional banks won’t, so it was a win-win for both sides”. But make no mistake: “Trump’s ties to shady Russian figures stretch back decades, and Unger diligently pieces them together in one place.”Source: Vox Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decades, Journalist Craig Unger talks Russia, Trump, and “one of the greatest intelligence operations in history.” Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decadesSource: “House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia” by Craig UngerVox asked Unger in the interview “Do you believe the Russian government successfully targeted and compromised Trump?” Craig Unger answered: “Yes, absolutely. “But let’s go back in time, because I think all of this began as a money-laundering operation with the Russian mafia. It’s well known that Trump likes doing business with gangsters. Unger went on by stating, “The key point I want to get across in the book is that the Russian mafia is different than the American mafia, and I think a lot of Americans don’t understand this. In Russia, the mafia is essentially a state actor. When I interviewed Gen. Oleg Kalugin, who is a former head of counter-intelligence in the KGB and had been Vladimir Putin’s boss at one point, I asked him about the mafia. He said, “Oh, it’s part of the KGB. It’s part of the Russian government.”Source: Vox Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decades, Journalist Craig Unger talks Russia, Trump, and “one of the greatest intelligence operations in history.” Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decadesNow with Trump’s latest problems, and Russian money drying up, Trump and Kushner, his son in law, are looking to MBS, the murderous prince of Saudi Arabia, for financing and future favor.It has become more than apparent that Trump knows little about most things and next to nothing in terms of either managing his administration, the country or in fulfilling his role as president. He has continued to lose most of his cabinet and advisors, many of whom have quite in abject frustration, have been fired or run off by one of Trump’s stooges. Trump, the billionaire hard-charging chief executive, that you used to watch every week on the “Apprentice”, doesn’t have the balls to do the dirty deed himself. So his iconic delivery of the feared phrase “You’re fired!” has never been heard around the oval office.Each and every time this moron speaks he proves his true stupidity. The only real support he has are the loyal and unflinching dopes he calls his " base" and the greedy rapacious Republican jerks who have been lusting after large tax cuts and a regressive right-wing Supreme Court for years.The only thing that might be more perplexing than the psychology of Donald Trump is the psychology of his supporters. An article in Psychology today, claims that it’s “The Dunning-Kruger Effect”. They claim that those who support Donald Trump, do so due to their ignorance. The article goes on to claim “If one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant. This includes political judgment.” The article concludes the section with the biting sentence, stating that, “Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb.”According to the article, the second suggestion is what Psychologists call “Hypersensitivity to Threat” according to the piece, “Science has unequivocally shown that the conservative brain has an exaggerated fear response when faced with stimuli that may be perceived as threatening.”And the third factor accordingly is a well-supported theory from social psychology, called “Terror Management Theory”, which according to the article explains why Trump’s fear mongering is doubly effective. “The theory is based on the fact that humans have a unique awareness of their own mortality. The inevitably of one’s death creates existential terror and anxiety that is always residing below the surface. In order to manage this terror, humans adopt cultural worldviews — like religions, political ideologies, and national identities — that act as a buffer by instilling life with meaning and value.”And the fourth and final factor is one the article refers to as ‘High Attentional Engagement’, according to Psychology Today, “a recent study that monitored brain activity while participants watched 40 minutes of political ads and debate clips from the presidential candidates, Donald Trump is unique in his ability to keep the brain engaged. While Hillary Clinton could only hold attention for so long, Trump kept both attention and emotional arousal high throughout the viewing session. This pattern of activity was seen even when Trump made remarks that individuals didn’t necessarily agree with. His showmanship and simple messages clearly resonate at a visceral level.” Source: Psychology Today, The Psychology Behind Donald Trump's Unwavering Support The Psychology Behind Donald Trump's Unwavering SupportNow that it is the Trump party his supporters got what they wanted, but the other 2/3 of America got a fool for a president.This is a bought and paid for ‘president” owned and operated by Putin. In Craig Unger’s interview with Vox news, he stated that “the whole premise of the book is that, Trump was working with the Russian mafia for more than 30 years. He was profiting from them. They rescued him. They bailed him out. They took him from being $4 billion in debt to becoming a multibillionaire again, and they fueled his political ambitions, starting more than 30 years ago. This means Trump was in bed with the Kremlin as well, whether he knew it or not”Source: Vox Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decades, Journalist Craig Unger talks Russia, Trump, and “one of the greatest intelligence operations in history.” Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decadesFurther in the Vox interview Unger claimed, “The very first episode that’s been documented, to my knowledge, was (35 years ago in a couple of weeks) in 1984 when David Bogatin — who is a Russian mobster, convicted gasoline bootlegger, and close ally of Semion Mogilevich, a major Russian mob boss — met with Trump in Trump Tower right after it opened. Bogatin came to that meeting prepared to spend $6 million, which is equivalent to about $15 million today.Bogatin bought five condos from Trump at that meeting. Those condos were later seized by the government, which claimed they were used to launder money for the Russian mob.”Source: Vox Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decades, Journalist Craig Unger talks Russia, Trump, and “one of the greatest intelligence operations in history.” Trump’s ties to the Russian mafia go back 3 decadesAmerica got a traitor intent on breaking down the judicial system, the FBI, the consumer protection bureau that had been set up to protect Americans.At the behest of Wall Street, ( remember how Trump went after Hillary for giving an expensive paid for speech to Wall Street), Trump has struck down the banking regulations and oversight that were also missing under Bush that led to a major recession virtually the equal of the great depression of 1929/30.Source: The Atlantic: “Trump Begins to Chip Away at Banking Regulations” Trump Begins to Chip Away at Banking RegulationsTrump purposely went after the EPA by appointing Pruitt, a man whose stated objective was to close down the agency by handcuffing and silencing their scientists and doing away with hard-fought for clean air and water regulations that had been safeguarding Americans health and that of their children under the Obama administration.Source: Forbes “Scott Pruitt Laid Out A Vision For The EPA That Contradicts Its Mission” Scott Pruitt Laid Out A Vision For The EPA That Contradicts Its MissionTrump started a trade war with allies and foe alike that ended up passing along an added tax by way of reciprocal tariffs on imports to the American consumer. Tariffs that are virtually killing the export of soybean farm crops throughout the Midwest and Western states. Trump’s misguided trade war is causing the loss of sales, sales that may never come back as these countries stay with their new source of supply once the trade war comes to its inevitable end.Trump’s trade disputes with China, Mexico, and Canada is already eroding the value of American agricultural production, with soybean growers alone expected to lose at least US $3.2 billion during the next crop season. To compensate, Trump has already doled out $12 billion in farm crop subsidies, most of which has not found its way to those farmers most affected.Source: As Cost of Trade War Grows, Farmers Stick With Trump—for Now By Alan Bjerga and Mario Parker Bloomberg Press July 17, 2018, Are you a robot?GM fired 14,000 employees and said in part, the reason was the higher cost of manufacturing due to steel and aluminum tariffs that are crippling profits. And the Ford Motor Company has claimed that steel and aluminum tariffs have already cost the automaker $1 billion. Of course, these added costs have to be passed along to their customers or absorbed in all or part by the company, neither option being a viable long-term or even an option over the mid-term.Source: the Globe and Mail Newspaper: Ford CEO says Trump’s metal tariffs cost auto maker $1-billionFord CEO says Trump’s metal tariffs cost auto maker $1-billionTrump is destroying the country with his avarice, stupid foreign policies that make enemies of America's allies and is taking the country toward a recession with his loony trade policies, trade wars and insane tariffs that add nothing but an extra tax on Americans. Farmers are desperate having taken heavy financial losses with crops they can't' sell, and markets they might well lose once these export countries become comfortable with a supply source other than the USA.Trump promised a wall and Mexico would pay for it…but neither happened, he promised new roads, bridges and a complete overhaul of America’s infrastructure, where is it? He has killed as best he could, Obama Care and promised he would replace it with a better, cheaper program for everyone,… he hasn’t and now he and the Republican Party have been lying to voters that they will protect pre-existing conditions. This is blatantly a real “hoax”. While running for re-election during the midterms and making the promise to protect pre-existing conditions that they had run on to kill the last time out, they had Obama Care before the courts asking the court to kill the very same pre-existing clauses…. all at the behest of the very same insurance companies that would benefit directly by screwing current and future policyholders.Source: New York Times “Republicans Say They Will Protect Pre-existing Conditions.

We don’t know the answer, as there are no published meeting notes, and other than the Russians and Trump, no one in America or the west has the answer to this or any other agreement made in the name of American “diplomacy” resulting from the Putin/Trump “une reunion privee”.And now the stock market has completely reversed itself and all the gains for the year have been wiped out and then some. Investors have indicated that America and the world have no faith in Trump and his policies and have voted by taking their money out of the American Stock market hedging against disaster.There is now real concern that because of Trump’s stupidity we may be facing a financial meltdown and a major recession. And keep in mind that all the safeguards that Obama put on Wall St. to protect investors and home mortgage holders were wiped out by Trump.
