Donald Trump lives in a world of make believe. In Donald Trump land global warming isn’t happening, tens of millions of dead people get Social Security checks, and he won the 2020 election. Believing, or at least saying, this nonsense might make Trump happy, but the rest of us have to live in the real world, where global warming is very real, Social Security is incredible efficient and largely fraud free, and Trump lost the 2020 election by a wide margin.
In Trump’s make-believe world countries are ripping us off by selling more to us than they are buying from us. As has been endlessly pointed out, this is like saying a store rips us off because they sell us things without buying anything from us. Trump’s complaint literally makes no sense.
Congress needs to pass a law requiring that any national emergency needs to be confirmed by a super majority of both the house and Senate within 15 calendar days of declaration. Or from 15 days of the passage of this law, whichever is later. An ongoing national emergency must be renewed by Congress before the sixth month of its declaration, but no earlier than it's fifth month. Then on a yearly basis starting from the anniversary of its declaration.
Failing that, all emergency powers the president wields are revoked.
In a true emergency, the assemblage of Congress is not an onerous task. Nor is the vote.
But not himself personally so it's all good 👍😊
