Bannon has clearly stated that his primary objective is the destruction of the state. I don't know why any of this seems far fetched to you guys.

Appalling.

But what kind of life, under the shackles of globalism? That is not America, that is not freedom. That is NOT what people fought and died for.

[Trump's presidency] will probably end in calamity — substantial domestic protest and violence, a breakdown of international economic relationships, the collapse of major alliances, or perhaps one or more new wars (even with China) on top of the ones we already have. It will not be surprising in the slightest if his term ends not in four or in eight years, but sooner, with impeachment or removal under the 25th Amendment. The sooner Americans get used to these likelihoods, the better. [The Atlantic]

**** "In the end, however, [Trump] will fail," Cohen adds. "He will fail because however shrewd his tactics are, his strategy is terrible —

So the question ----> IS President Trump's tactics "in your face demanding" attitude going to DESTABILIZE the world?? Over making things better for the US worker and our economy and therefore fail?
Agree with the editorial completely. While the trump may have some initial successes I believe his bully tactics will create Trade and Military Wars that will harm this Nation in ways not seen since the Civil War. His supporters say be patient and let him do his thing without decent and see what happens, but that is a fools errand because once done it is far harder to undo. We shall see but as I have said all along the trump will either be the Best President we have seen since the early years or he will be the Worst President of all time and possibly the last straw that brings this Nation to its knees, I see little possibility he will be anything in between. Is what it Is, and the we are on for the ride, let's hope it does not jump the track somewhere along the line. I would also add, as if it matters, if we do jump the track, the trump can be counted on to blame everyone else instead of taking any responsibility for his actions, and expect no apology, he is proud of the fact that he never has and never will ever apologize.

Shackles of globalism?

You are participating using a medium that has made globalism exist. If you are that against it, may I suggest shutting down your internet service.

The highlighted part is my prediction as well. The anarchists have been working toward this for decades, and now they have succeeded in electing a President who will fulfill their wildest dreams of chaos and destruction. As far as being impeached? I doubt it, seems to me that Trump is setting the stage to be able to usurp the rules of law that restrict his powers. Hard to say where that will end but I can assure you that we the people will be the ones that suffer the most. Donald Trump will thrive on this, he lives for chaos and confrontation. If he were ever to be pushed into a corner facing total defeat? I think he'd take the cheap and cowardly way out, like Hitler did.

We have long had ways to communicate internationally -telegraph, telephones, snail mail and airplanes now we also have internet. Big difference between communicating globally and dissolving borders, which is the end game of globalists.
