How do we keep Trump from using our Military/Law Enforcement against us? I have an idea. Get everyone to write to and talk to their family members and friends in the Military or law enforcement, to ask them to STAND DOWN for the people, if Trump were to tell them to arrest us for protesting or dissenting him. The people who are their Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles, In Laws, Children, Friends write to them, call them, text them whatever you can do. We need them to protect the people from this crazy leader.

I'd bet on a 2x TSLA short ETF until Tesla gets close to book value, short DJT, long gold - ticker symbol GOLD because you know currency will be being manipulated all over the world. As Ron Insana once said in his book "the Message of the Markets," 'just enough gold to bribe the border officials.' I'm living in Mexico and trying to get residency here and I now get this point. Trump's pummeling our constitution, our economy and way of life. Keep us poor and sick (with RFK, Jr. making international illness a likelihood) and we'll stay scared and weak and unable to fight.

Would it be useful to go for the low hanging fruit first? To get every republican who refuses to take a stand removed from office from our town boards to our Mayors to our state representatives….recalls where we can, vote them out where we can, make examples, send messages?

They won’t hide from this. Nazi Barbi will stand in front of the cameras and shame us all for not listening to Don the Dictator when he told everyone to “go buy stock”.

You know, I've read a few articles that suggest that the 84 million people who were registered to vote, usually vote, and did not vote may have been victims of voter suppression schemes by Trump-Musk. More people in the US didn't vote for him than did.

Funny. I want to go to one of these when I'm back in Manhattan in September if we still have a country. Keep me posted, Mr. Cohen.

I enjoyed this YouTube video very much. I wish I were in The States to go to your Town Hall on Tuesday. It sounds awesome. One question: Why do you think Trump is not an idiot? I've heard this before and it always puzzles me. I know he doesn't have the capacity to understand tariffs. But he seems to operate by some sort of animal cunning, instinct and sadism that doesn't require anything like what we (psychologists) think of as intelligence.

Also, just a little note about the people tried at Nuremberg. There's a book called "The Nuremberg mind," which shows the raw data of those tried at Nuremberg. I used to teach with it and give essay tests on it. They were all quite disturbed, had psychotic features, lack of empathy and downright sadism. In some cases there was thought disorder. Hitler's followers are a different topic. It may be that we all lack courage in the face of this kind of disaster. I think no matter what moves Trump makes now, he's already screwed up the US economy because our trading partners and our former allies no longer trust us. I'm a fourth generation Angelino. My great-grandfather and grandfather escaped Russia during the pogroms. I always, since age 6, had an intuitive notion of how things can turn quickly and construed that once you see any minority being attacked, especially Jews, because I'm Jewish, you either move, like to another country or prepare to fight.

Dr. Bandy Lee, a psychiatrist expert in violence who has edited a book on the danger of Donald Trump, would refer to this as Hitler contagion. For Trump contagion his followers develop the behaviors he displays, eg narcissistic traits, lack of empathy for others, revenge and retaliation, and inability to recognize that society’s rules apply to him, to name only a few. You may enjoy reading her book, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump “

Can this insider trading get him out of office? Will the Supreme Court get him out of this? He will have these Attorney Generals investigated and jailed. Feels like there is no recourse for him.

I think a point has been reached; a bridge has been crossed, that even Donald Trump with all his hubris, chutzpah and cunning has not been able to foresee the ramifications of.

With his misguided bravado, he has now involved the whole world; world leaders/business leaders/stock markets/financial institutions and everything that effects the daily lives of people all over the world.

The stakes are just too high this time, for this to just blow over, become yesterday news and on to the next episode of unabridged lunacy.

The whole worlds eyes are on Trump now; some one with his track record should have avoided like the plague.

Trump has Howard Lutnick’s ear & he is probably responsible for some of this diseaster. It is unconscionable.
