Government By Fiat
Listening to Trump speak, he sounded more like a strong President than a strong man. President Trump laid down the gauntlet in his first address to Congress since taking office 44 days ago in his second non-consecutive term. To be clear, Trump has ordered more fiats in the first 100 days of his second term—more than any other President in 40 years.
So far, the President has signed 76 Executive Orders (EOs). On day one, Trump signed 25 EOs, although some staff members had promised he would sign upwards of 100 EOs on his first day in office.
As promised, on March 4, the President is marching forth with additional taxes on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China.
Canada’s outgoing Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has joined the fray by imposing similar tariffs/taxes on exports from the United States. Also, China joined the trade riff, with Mexico promising to announce its tariffs on American goods on Sunday. And so the trade war has begun. This morning (3-4-2025), Canada’s Trudeau held a press conference in which he spoke directly to the American people.
“I want to speak first to the American people,” he said. “We don’t want this” [fight]. “Canadians are reasonable and polite people, Tradeau continued, but we will not back down from a fight.” Tradeau should have sent Stormy Daniels in his place when he went to Mar-a-Lago on November 29, 2024. Here, Mr. Tradeau, come kiss on this ring.
The President said, “Other countries charged us more tariffs than we charged them.” Trump also said that on “April 2, reciprocal taxes/tariffs would begin on other nations.” He also said, ‘Tariffs would make America great again and make America rich again.’ The President also claimed, “Over the past three years, ’21 million people came into the United States illegally.”
What The World Was Waiting For.
World leaders held their breath to hear what Trump had to say about Ukraine and its little Prime Minister Vlodomyr Zelenskyy. Since last Friday, when Trump and Zelenskyy had a public disagreement about the war in Ukraine, Zelenskyy attempted to apologize to Trump on social media.
Trump said he was working tirelessly to end the conflict in Ukraine. He mentioned that the U.S. spent billions of dollars on the war in Ukraine. When rhetorically if, “You wanna keep the war going?” The President said Pocahontas (Sen E. Warren) said yes.
Planned Interruptions.
At 2113 hours, the President entered the Chamber; He started his speech at 2118 hours.
Six minutes into Trump’s speech, Rep Al Green stood up with his sugar cane. Rev Green was advised not to interrupt the meeting. Green refused to obey Shorty Johnson. The House Speaker, Shorty Johnson, ordered the Sergeant at Arms to remove the gentleman (Rep Al Green) from the Chamber. While other Republicans shouted, “Sit your ass down.”
Trump reiterated the ‘fraud’ that DOG(e) has discovered at the Social Security Administration. He promised to find out where the money went. Well, Mr. President, look no further than the bank accounts of current and past congressmen and women.
Trump mentioned that 40 years ago, ‘one in ten kids had autism, now the new number is one in every 36 kids with autism.’
Trump said that the Secretary of HHS, Robert Kennedy, Jr., would investigate the cause.

It is crucial to be forward-thinking but not a forward person. “Be kind to everyone you meet because each carries his heavy burden…” Plato.

The thought police are busy at work trying to suppress free speech — if allowed their march to madness — they will arrest your very thoughts.
