We are certain that you will find this area very insightful.

Kevin Park's Play of the day:
Trump's Golden Age Of America?
"Is President Trump His Own Worst Enemy?" Part #4.
The last 3 blogs have covered a "behavioral pattern" that President Trump
has shown us frequently. He hops between signing Executive Orders that
improve America and then "shoots himself in the foot" by saying
or doing something "outrageous." Previously, I stated:
"Almost every week he does something to piss off large sectors
of the general public. It's almost as if he wants the
Republicans to lose in the next elections. But I know
that he sincerely wants to make America great."
This past week saw the President displaying the same negative attention getting
behavior. Ever the showman, he really turned up a drama heat dial with posts
about Iran on Easter and Easter Monday that scared the World.
Those posts and their impact will be discussed in the next blog.

"The Madman Theory Of Negotiating - Using Fear To Get Your Way!"
The 20th Century gave us several "Madmen" in positions of power who,
if they had their way, would have ruled the World.
Adolf Hitler, who was "batshit crazy insane," had to be stopped and was.
After Harry Truman had his airmen drop two Atomic bombs on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki the World was "mortified" by the amount of
destructive power now available to be released. In the hands of a
"Reckless Madman," the planet itself could be made too sick
to support all human civilizations.
The Post-World War II years saw two madmen in power in the Soviet Union.
Both Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev were responsible for the
deaths of millions of people. Other World leaders had to deal with them
very carefully. Fortunately, both of those "Commies" were leery when
negotiating with Dwight Eisenhower. They feared that as a former
U.S. General he might have "a touch of madness" to draw upon too.
Khrushchev also decided to back down from John Kennedy in
the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy was not a madman.
In the 1970's Richard Nixon told us that he enjoyed employing
"the Madman Theory" in meetings with foreign leaders. He said
"being unpredictable" gave him a definite edge in negotiations.
In today's World, we have two men at the helms of major powers and
both use the clout of "The Madman Theory of Negotiating."
For sure, we know Vladimir Putin is certifiably insane and has "Nukes."
He's lost no sleep watching hundreds of thousands of his young soldiers
"meet their Maker" in Ukraine. He's an "evil psychopath."
We cannot be sure yet that President Trump has become
"drunk from drinking at the fountain of power." It is difficult
to determine when madness is genuine or being feigned as a tactic.
Unfortunately, his two Easter posts raised suspicions about his stability.
Over 50 Democrats in Congress want him declared "unfit."
They are supported by several prominent "MAGA Influencers" who have
withdrawn their endorsements of him.
Me? I found his posts frightening. The World did too. Most everyone knows
about them, but I'll post them again in my next blog.
Certainly President Trump's Cabinet should have frank and honest discussions
with him as to where he's going with this War. Any suggestion of wiping out
a civilization must be seen as true madness and rejected! Continued
