Today, while doing some snow removal in the Northern Hemisphere, I was reminded of hard times in the maritime. I got thinking as far back as I could about things that clearly makes no sense to me.
When things don't makes sense, more often than not, corruption is a susceptive tactic at play. If you don't think your being played by "The Orange Jesus", then you could be part of the problem.
"The Orange Jesus"
This is an AI creation using Peakd #AI-Images blockchain service and 
...over the years I have learned a great deal about liars, cheaters, thief's and wobblers.
When things get spinning out of control, you need to become more aware of delusional behaviours. Nothing wrong with having a popular leader but you should not have to make excuses for a situation that is irrational or more importantly, deeply concerning from a mental health perspective.
Knowing what I know about Donald J Trump, the current President of the richest empire that ever existed...I am deeply concerned about the next 3 months, "Winter is Coming", well, for part of me, Winter started on December 1st.
Remember, not too long ago, how an ad about Reagan speaking the truth about tariffs got Trump all excited and did the baby on his back, crying and kicking, symbolism thingy? I raised a family in the Reagan - ism time. This would be another example of idolization being part of a root cause of many problems. Why would a rich nation make survival more difficult for a poor nation? Your welcome to share your answer to this question. Haiti was a place where the British sent some of my ancestors as part of that empire policies.
Today, The Orange Jesus makes mockery of trading between nations and some followers want everyone to believe he is the most qualified about tariffs and making deals. To me, it's like dropping a couple of nuclear bombs on a nation when you didn't have to but you somehow spin a narrative to justify the wrong doing. I have been saying we are in World War 3 for sometime and it is one of the reasons I am here, on Hive blockchain growing digital wealth for the future. Now, we all know that technology intended for goodness is used by wrong doers.
Please understand that I have no hate and this share is in the spirit of pain and hardships.
Where I live, north of USA, we do not have a democracy like USA. There are similarities for sure, like money talks and all, but there is enough checks and balances in our system that you would have to be a fool to think the Prime Minister would stay in office for just saying a small fraction of the word salads Trump spews everyday. I am online everyday and my interest is worldly and I would not be good at what I do if I didn't know USA better than most Americans. No different than when I had to learn English and a new version of Jesus in the 60's. Ah! that reminds me of what Pete, the Secretary of War said about protecting "our "hemisphere.
People that are corrupt and under a lot of stress are very telling if you listen carefully to the words they use. Sometimes they tell on themselves and they don't realize it right away. When the words don't make sense and reporters are screened and/or restricted in a follow-up question you have more evidence of corruption.
What kind of a leader defends actions of Pete Hegseth?

Can you image if there was an hour or more between missile strikes and two survivors were holding for dear life?
When you support a leader, do it for the right reasons. If you don't challenge your leader, you are not supportive of a PEPT Continuous Process Improvement system.
The other day, I responded to a comment, reminding a believer that it matters not what one thinks. What matters is what one does or does not do.
Let us all become more aware.
Sending love and positive energy to all.
