Commentary:

Why is the Trump MAGA presidential administration using taxpayer money to rescue, prop up, support and be the guarantor of financially precarious and failing US corporate, other business and industry giants?

Regardless of what the MAGA gaslighting secretaries of the US Commerce and Treasury Departments say, the central principle of the communist state is that the state owns and controls the means of production and property of the nation in the service of the people, on the whole, in the identity of the state, or nation-state. In fascism, totalitarian dictatorship [and oligarchy], private industry and oligarchy, on the one hand, and the state, on the other hand, are merged and the people, the common people in practice, are subjects of and serve the nation-state and this merger. Both are innovatively and technologically, apart from militarily, sluggish and narrow in scope compared to competitive, free-market, free-enterprise democratic and democratic-socialist nation-states that outlaw monopoly and quasi-monopoly economic enterprise and unfair and corrupt economic or business competition (the Peoples Republic of China is now a mixed-economy, an overlapping communist, private-enterprise and state-capitalism, nation-state and is at least as societally, scientifically and technologically innovative and competitive as the most materially and functionally developed democratic-capitalist or democratic-socialist nation-states). This MAGA model of the state (government) and taxpayer rescue or protective money buying of an ownership share in enterprises or industries, particularly in financially shaky and needy ones, is MAGA-oligarchical socialism for the investor-class rich and powerful cocooning themselves as such investors and giant enterprises or industries in the protection and safety of taxpayer money and a budding fascist state founded on and supported by that taxpayer money -- first it actually recently happened for Intel Inc. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimosman/2025/02/17/intels-decline-a-cautionary-tale-for-technology-investors/, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-growth-challenges-not-over-221609444.html, https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/intel-accelerates-chips-act-funding-receives-5-7b-ahead-of-schedule/ar-AA1LxwFQ?ocid=socialshare , Intel Awarded Biggest CHIPS and Science Act Grant to Date - Alliance for American Manufacturing) and now it is being considered by the MAGA presidency for a host of other companies, which, as relates to them, is to save face for MAGA and shield it from attribution, that is, to hide the business-failure fallout that is a result of the economic incompetence and failure of Trumpian maganomics policy for the US economy, which is harmful to much of US big business and industry as well as employment and consumers. Additional links on Intel Inc.'s financial condition over the last two years are: Intel's Stock Tumbles Amid Worries Some of Its Problems 'May Not Be Fixable' (investopedia.com), https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-trouble-5-things-tech-100100605.html, For Intel's Stock, It's Been 'One Disaster After Another' (investopedia.com).

In the atypical situation of Intel Inc., if because of its already federally recognized special technological value to the nation of the USA warranting that it receive a virtually national-security-related federal Chips and Science Act grant for the specific purpose of it enhancing and expanding the production of its nationally vital silicon chips technology, then it should be awarded the federal grant money of its Chips and Science Act grant for it to use to fulfill its contracted or otherwise agreed upon grant purpose pertaining to the Act, according to the scheduled, or adjustably scheduled, release of the funds to it, Intel Inc.  However, the federal government's purchased equity ownership share in certifiably financially troubled Intel Inc., in which, according to the financial news reports on Intel Inc., it has scaled down rather than scaled up its research-and-development and manufacturing operations as well as its staff for accomplishing these missions as required of it by its Chips and Science Act grant agreement, is an evident workaround its in-process failure to meet its commitment to fulfilling its grant specific purpose for qualifying to receive the large-majority remainder balance of the grant and is an alternative funding avenue for nevertheless providing Intel Inc. with money it needs to survive or better make its way financially, in the name of or in reference to the Chips and Science Act, rather than to fulfill its Chips and Science Act grant-contingent specific purpose.  Lutnick asserted to the effect that a Trumpian maganomics re-rendering of the Chips and Science Act funding for Intel Inc. was doing a better job financially for the American people, a stance which, in view of Intel Inc.'s downsizing of its operations and staff, held no sincere and factual substance since Intel Inc. no longer qualified to receive the balance of the Chips and Science Act contingent-grant funding set aside for it.  In addition, the federal government's purchased equity stake in Intel Inc. insulated Intel Inc. (thus protecting its assets from being collateral) from having to secure a collateralized loan from a lender.  US Commerce Secretary Lutnick has already discredited his character and credibility and shown himself to be a callous, dismissive, cavalier and condescending glib-tongued and haughty rube in the broadcast mass media on the subject of missed or late monthly Social Security retirement checks to senior retirees, often survivally living check to check.  Click on the following audio-video hyperlink to listen to Lutnick's salesmanship clever sophistry in justifying the Trumpian maganomics-led federal government buying an equity stake in (supplying Chip's Act workaround money to) Intel Inc., https://youtu.be/GSiZmEszflo?si=biyHD3O9OLkKElTV. 

If these MAGA presidential administration gaslighters say that the taxpayer money is not to financially rescue or make the companies financially secure, then why is the taxpayer money being provided to them in exchange for a US government ownership stake in them? Don't be gaslighted and suckered by them. If MAGA did not rescue or stabilize them financially and they failed in a rash of big business and industry failures under maganomics, the MAGA presidential administration would be blamed for the rash, or worse, of the failures.

The only rational reason, even if a corrupt one, for the government purchasing an ownership stake in a company rather than providing it with a loan contingent on a loan contract with the therein stated and agreed-to loan's repayment terms and the company or its specified equitable assets pledged as foreclosure and sell-off collateral in the event of the company's default in meeting the terms of the loan contract, as is the standard practice with commercial lenders that provide loans to businesses and real property owners (real estate owners), would be for the government to more corruptly, as an act of government and/or political cronyism or favoritism, shelter the company from having to repay the money supplied to it by the government in the form of a loan and from having to pledge and risk itself or its specified assets as loan repayment collateral to either the government or, alternatively and more appropriately in exchange for a loan from it, a private commercial lender.

As a matter of unquestionable ethics and fairness in government policies and practices, government should never purchase an ownership stake in any company and should not issue a loan to a large business outside of a government lending program that is available to all large businesses as applicants, inasmuch as the Small Business Administration already has a lending program for small business applicants, and issues loans based on qualifying financial merit and loan collateral. The same general but scaled-up criteria should apply for a government loan program for large businesses.

When government vests itself financially in a company with its money, really taxpayer money in a democracy (for the USA, a Constitutional Bill of Rights (thereby Democratic-) Republic), by supplying the company significant money for an ownership stake in the company, it assumes a vested interest in protecting the financial solvency, profitability and marketplace competitive strength or advantage of that company and becomes the enduring, if not also the de-facto insuring, financial spigot of that company in its financially troubled or competitively adverse times.

Would the financial marriage or bonded relationship between the government and the company give the company and its principals special, undue access to and influence in or on government compared to companies and their top executives, governing board members and major investors without such a relationship with government? Would companies controlled or owned by family members, friends, associates, political, partisan-politics or personal financial donors or allies of elected or unelected government officials or employees, relevant or irrelevant to the decision-making process, or others connected to any of these, be chosen or given special consideration for such a relationship with government? Would the US Congress legislate a strict and harshly enforceable law prohibiting government officials and employees and their relatives and business and financial associates from, directly or indirectly, engaging any in, or any combination of them of, buying, selling, owning, trading or brokering stock or bond interests (equity instruments) or any other financial interest in a company with a government investment or ownership interest in it, as well as barring them from employment in or contracting with such a company? Could this merged government-business relationship become a practice at all levels of government -- federal, state and local -- and become acceptably the norm at taxpayer-money expense?

If applicable companies are proven financially sound, according to an external audit of the companies and their externally audited historical-to-date financial records, then they do not need and should not receive such taxpayer money. If their financial condition is determined to be problematic, then they should not receive such taxpayer money, either. In any case, if they want or need money, let them apply for a loan for the desired money to lending institutions or sources that serve businesses, as is and has been the norm historically.

This dubious relationship between government and businesses or industries is not analogous to that of the government making loans to financial-condition qualifying small businesses through the Small Business Administration (SBA) or providing seed-money grants and tax breaks, etc., to kickstart start-up companies of new industries, such as wind-turbine-energy, solar-energy, geothermal-energy, biofuels and electric-vehicle companies, as well as to medical and other vital scientific research-development-and-innovation institutions or companies broadly, overall, benefitting US society -- prospectively, as worthy award applicants, since the US Congressional Chips and Science Act of 2022, able to receive federal funding, CHIPS and Science Act Summary: Energy, Climate, and Science Provisions   Bipartisan Policy Center.

US BLS reports are commonly go-back adjusted in their statistics and their final findings to figure into the previously timely published versions of them late-arrival feeder raw data from raw-data feeder delivery sources that collect and compile economic data on businesses large to small. Data on large businesses as a business category arrive to the US BLS, as a matter of course, timely and before the commonly substantially opposite for data on small businesses as a business category.

There is a lag time, which is increasingly manifesting, for the firm inflationary impact of MAGA-GOP Trump’s across-the-board tariffs on prices overall and their continuing growth to be broadly observed, felt and acknowledged, especially by MAGA-cult hardcore, alas financially heartbroken, delusional, becoming disillusioned, loyalists on the bottom and insecure middle rungs of the economic ladder. In part, this lag time is because, in the least, importers of foreign inputs that are needed for domestic producers' products and retailers of popular categories of foreign products have purchased and stockpiled such foreign products, at still bargain prices, before the start dates of the tariffs. At the end of the fiscal quarter that comes after these pre-tariff-era low-priced import inventories, of applicable US businesses, in comparison to much higher-priced inventories they purchase as of the onset of and during the Trump MAGA-GOP tariff era on imports to the USA, are cleared, then the unarguable impact of the Trump MAGA-GOP import tariffs on the businesses, consumers, workforces and overall economy of the USA will be decidedly felt and experienced to be in place and to have taken hold for whatever it really is.

Another restraint on the rapid rise in tariff-related inflation is that affected companies are attempting to delay and manage the range and rate of price increases so as to avoid inflicting sudden sticker, that is, price, shock on their customer populations that would incur much customer intense dissatisfaction, resentment and rapid collective pullback in the scale of their purchases. They could accomplish this by easing in, gradually making, necessary price increases and decreasing the volume of their imports, resulting in periodic and alternating or rolling shortages (rotational undersupply and shortages, akin to stressed electrical-grid power-supply shifting-location brownouts and blackouts), already observed, of staple and high-turnover import-associated or impacted products, as well as in, as an alternative, likewise shortages in their inventories of domestic products, and the strategic discontinuation altogether from their inventory offerings of select both import and domestic products, to mitigate reductions in their positive cash flows and profit margins, undermined by their significant expenditures on tariffs.  Chain-location and multilocational companies can close operations at an as indicated needed number of lowest output or earning and profit-making sites for this purpose.  Inevitably, impacted businesses must in the near term pass forward to their business-to-business buyers and retail customers their tariff expenses, to recoup them, in the form of price increases in order for them to protect their positive cash flows and profit margins from shrinkage and trending negative, and to provide consistent and reliable otherwise full product spectrum availability, to their customers and their satisfaction on this business function, virtually free of or with a minimum of or rare major product shortages over the long term.

Across-the-board (comprehensive) or extensive tariffs on imports raise the costs and consequential prices of US producer products that are made with foreign inputs, wholesaler-importers of foreign inputs and finished goods, retailers of domestic and foreign goods, the prices of retail customers and also drive up prices because of reduced foreign price competition with competitor domestic producers.

(US importer-paid tariffs are added to the importer's business operating expenses on the business P&L statement (profit-and-loss statement) whose bottom-line result is either a business operating financial profit or loss amount, in which the dollar-and-cents amount of the profit or the loss is its size, being the magnitude of the profit or loss, or less likely is a break-even result wherein its revenues, gross income to the business, are equal to its total expenses and wherein there is neither a business profit nor a business loss [for the business].  As a business cost and thereby expense class, the total amounts of the tariffs incurred, paid and reported by the importer in a P&L reporting quarter or year, reduces its bottom-line profit status or increases its loss status and in any case decreases the beforehand importer's profit-basis markup on the prices of import products paid by the importers.  To restore and sustain that profit-basis markup percentage on newly tariffed products and on already tariffed products with increased tariffs (the total of the import product purchase price plus the paid tariff, with a profitability, fractionally taking into account business operating expenses, markup on the total), that they buy from foreign exporters, as well as to anchor and stabilize their business-survival profitability, importers (business-to-business wholesalers and retailers to consumers) must commensurately expand, wholly and fully apply, the markup on the new, tariff-impacted, increased pricing state of affairs on those imported products that they resale to other businesses or retail consumers.)   

For now, the evident trend is that of incipient tariff-related inflation, that may notch up to a self-stabilizing but upwardly fluid terminus or that may rage and require drastic Federal Reserve Bank, US Treasury and other federal government economic-control interventions into the economy to restrain and manage.

Trump's MAGA-GOP tariffs are another major federal tax, in the name of a tariff on foreign business and imports, imposed on and paid directly or subsequently and forthrightly downstream in and circulating throughout the US market economy by all major US businesses and retail customers, and felt, as well as paid, by retail customers virtually upon every check-out cashier total purchase at a major, if not most of any size, business, that are in addition to traditional federal income taxes, and larger than federal income taxes and harshly constituting a significant percentage share of their income for low-income people and overwhelmingly for adolescents and younger children. They are a federal, national, sales tax, the same as a point-of-sale-and-purchase national consumption tax, and reduce the purchasing power of all.

(Standford University Professor Michael McFaul posted on 08-06-2025 the following comment on the social media platform X.com that was made by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on 08-05-2025

“Tariff revenue has continued rising under u/POTUS’ America First trade agenda, surging to record highs over the past four months. Collections remain well above last year’s levels and are now a stable, growing source of federal revenue.” McFaul rhetorically replied to it on X as follows “Tariffs are taxes. Trump is taxing American consumers.“

I highlighted the key phrase in Bessent’s comment "...a growing, stable source of federal revenue ..." and replied to it as follows, with my words in instances being a bit edited and polished herein

“at the expense and sufferance of our incomes and standards of living, as it is us, the businesses and consumers of the USA, that and who pay the MAGA-Trump's tariffs, tariff taxes. The tariff-sourced new federal tax revenue stream is another big tax bite out of our incomes (of middle and low income earners, but less than dust particles out of the household incomes of millionaire and billionaire income earners), and the tariffs, in their range and magnitude, were unwarranted until the bicameral US Congressional GOP-membership majorities legislated the Trump MAGA-GOP's federal budget deficit ballooning Big Beautiful Bill that gave big income tax cuts favoring big business and millionaire and billionaire earners and whose real and primary immediate purpose is to offset and pay down the newly spiked federal budget deficit -- click on: regarding the budget deficit, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-deficit-grows-291-billion-180509076.html? ; regarding the national debt, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-deficit-grows-291-billion-180509076.html? . Robert Reich, who recently retired as a university professor and who formerly was secretary of the US Department of Labor under former President Bill Clinton, in my slight paraphrase of him, referred to President Trump as a Trojan horse posing as a friend of populists and labor.”)

His proposed fees on tourists visiting the USA from abroad, if imposed on prospective tourists, would be a financial deterrent to tourism to the USA from abroad and are a beat down on and diversion of the spending power of middle-income tourists from abroad visiting the US in their otherwise spending of that money on US business products and services while they are tourists in the US, with the government fees charged to visiting tourists going to the MAGA-GOP-controlled federal government's black hole of the US Treasury instead of going to US businesses and employment and generally to the US market economy. Among many others, they would hurt venues of major-, minor- and school-league and Olympic international sports, traveling fashion shows, traveling historical- and fine-art gallery and museum exhibitions, all variety of international music and performing arts, dining, fun and family entertainment like Disney World and Las Vagas, etc., outdoorsmanship sightseeing and camping, and medical, scientific, academic and intellectual as well as religious exchange and conventions. They probably would also result in the governments of foreign nations imposing retaliatory fees on US tourists to their nations -- it would be very unpleasant financially to be charged such fees at each of multiple nations US citizens might want to visit or visit in a tourist cruise or while on vacation, or for business or political purposes or as a job assignment or as a mainstay feature of one's job, or as a professional writer or an international athlete, musician, beauty model, or such acclaimed academic, scientist or public intellectual, and so forth.

When the MAGA-GOP near-billionaire US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, MAGA-GOP billionaire US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and MAGA-GOP billionaire and godling US President Donald Trump exclaim "We brought in $130,000,000,000.00 from tariffs on imports (inputs and finished goods from foreign nations) in the first 6 months of the Trump Presidency!," remember that the US shoppers and businesses paid that $130,000,000,000.00 and that the poorest and middle-middle income shoppers paid at the same average tariff tax rate, wastefully consuming and dissipating a hurtfully and hellaciously greater percentage of their weekly (also weakly), monthly and yearly income, as the shoppers earning $500,000.00 to tens or scores, or more, in millions and billions of dollars per week, month or year.

When intellectually cornered by freedom of the press on the tax nature of the Trump MAGA-GOP tariffs on imports from foreign nations and who pays them, Treasury Secretary Bessent circuitously, evasively and reluctantly concedes the truth that, in essence, tariffs are taxes paid to the US Treasury by US importers and passed on domestically [to the chain of purchasers of those goods), as reported in the news article of the following click-on hyperlink, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/scott-bessent-finally-admits-truth-200740326.html .

All of the herein said economic impact, intended or unintended, policies of the MAGA-GOP Trump Presidency are brutal, bloody economic blows, in the offing, to the US economy. Back in early May of this year of 2025, I was in a conversation with a longtime stock-market investor about the effects of the MAGA-GOP Trump tariffs in which I was informed that the secretaries of the financial departments, like Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick, of Trump’s executive branch cabinet were career businessmen and stock-market, including commodities, players and gamblers in investment companies and were not in any true sense, and depth-of-understanding, economists.

In addition to the assault on the US economy of the effect of the Trump MAGA-GOP's across-the-board tariffs on imports that are ultimately and definitively paid by US businesses and consumers, it is retailers, and worst of all, small and medium-sized business, including non-major restaurants, that soonest will suffer customer and income loss and scale down their costs with worker layoffs, in order for them to retain their profitability and survival, as well as fail financially, in their solvency and as going concerns, and go out of business, to start with, because of the nationwide, especially in the major cities, reductions in force, and their continuation, of federal civil service workers and ICE mass removal, deportation and intimidated flight of classes of refugee immigrants heretofore officially granted protected residency status by the US government, numbering in the high hundreds of thousands of persons, whose such status has been arbitrarily revoked by the Trump Administration, and many fold more undocumented immigrants, mainly of Latin America and Caribbean origin, from the grunge-labor, subminimum-wage, minimum-wage and small-business job market, which often depend for their profitability and survival on the latter labor pool. Many of the workers, and longtime resident small business owners and operators, of these three workforces will abruptly or shortly, and collectively, or en masse, lose their spending from loss of earnings, their savings and bank accounts, their homeownership investments or rental residences, furniture and appliances, their cars, etc., and not continue to pay their creditors for the bills associated with these and typical other monthly bills. Many others stigmatized and targeted for the eventual same fate will also abruptly or shortly lose their ability to financially support themselves and their families. (Trump, under pressure from the companies of the agricultural and large hotel and restaurant business sectors, has exempted their employees from ICE raids, apprehension, detention and deportation.) As a result, the affected businesses will suffer financial complications, setbacks, downturns and losses, and in their financial relationships with their creditors and vendors, and will need to make negative adjustments in their costs of doing business.  Moreover, the departure of these potentially millions of consumers from the US economy in general would most probably undermine US businesses and US citizen employment writ large.

Commentary on the news report

DEI (the acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion, also the equivalent of the USA motto of E Pluribus Unum) means equal opportunity in employment-hiring and educational-matriculation consideration and selection irrespective of the race, color, gender, creed, religion or national origin of applicants for employment with an employer or admission to an educational institution, especially one of higher learning such as a college or university. Trump and the MAGA GOP are against equal opportunity in these regards and societal socioeconomic pluralism. Rather, they are for white-preference and dominance monocentricism, reversion of the USA back to it, to what was termed WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, extending to all of white British heritage) dominated and largely run USA prior to the 1960s, during and after which the USA became strongly ethnically plural, among white people, in its governance and economics, including with Irish, Germans, Nordics, Italians, Jews and miscellaneous, but always appreciably WASP-assimilated Dutch and French. The predecessor of Trumpian MAGA in recent times was right-wing media's condemnation of and crusade against multiculturalism and social pluralism, exactly the same as their favoring and advocating for white-preference and dominance monocentricism, or such monocultural-centricism in all walks of political, educational, religious (Christian), cultural and socioeconomic life in society. Multiculturalism and pluralism diminutively mean to them multiculturalism and pluralism that are not summarily white, Christian (name-brand, flexible Christian or, tolerably for them, Western secularism) and capitalist. Trump even personally entreated the commissioners of the NFL and MLB to end DEI, meaning purge black people from participation and presence of every kind in these sports and consequently in related sports media, in which his entreaties were unsuccessful. He may have done the same to no avail with the NBA, IOC (the International Olympic Commission governing international Olympic sports) and FIFA (in English translation the International Federation of Football Association, in which internationally football is the term Americans of the USA use for soccer) and may try yet with colleges and universities. However, he is reported to have readily gotten acquiescence from the McDonald's Corp. and Target Corp., unlike the companies Costco and Goldman Sachs Bank that swiftly rejected that bigoted, unethical and illegal racially discriminatory request.

The Trump MAGA Presidency has also fired, terminated the employment of, top black American officials throughout the federal government, including, of questionable legality, the Ph.D. librarian of the Library of Congress, a woman, has ordered federal agencies to end DEI practices and remove multicultural and historical pluralism representation media and instruction in and from them, including in the US armed forces, and to reinstate to US military bases the names of Civil War Confederacy generals in armed rebellion against the Constitutional Bill-of-Rights Republic of the USA, whose names, to the best of my immediate recall, were removed by a legislative act of Congress, in which only the US Congress can make federal law, mint new law that is not in the US Constitution nor in violation of or prohibited by the US Constitution, and renamed since then with the names of honorable or honorable and heroic persons loyal to the Constitutional Bill-of-Rights (our democratic rights) Republic of the USA and Trump issued an executive order authorizing contractors with the federal government to, albeit illegally, racially segregate in violation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution and a 1954 Supreme Court ruling affirming that racial segregation laws and practices in government institutions or affiliated entities were in violation of the 14th Amendment provision of equal protection [and rights] under the law of all citizens/persons [in the USA], and thus illegal [and null and void], and wherein the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 outlawed racial discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations, including business offerings and services. Now and since the resurgence of MAGA, virtually every time there is a disaster lately in the USA, the MAGA media and lynch mob cry out "DEI," as the cause and culprit, as in the rash of Trump-MAGA-policies responsible airplane crashes in or of the USA, except for a helicopter only crash that was piloted by a highly experienced and competent black man who until then had a perfect flying record but whose helicopter, with passengers, descended and crashed, killing all occupants, without an explanation then, as for the current flood deaths in Kerr County, Texas, an white affluent county with no black public officials, but forgetting to also blame DEI for the reckless and pointless deaths of military servicemen in Lithuania and North Africa under the Trump-Hegseth command of US armed forces, as well as of the two multimillion-dollar US fighter jets from a US aircraft-carrier ship that fell or were shot down and plunged into the deep water off of the coast of Yemen recently.

Moreover, MAGA educated-fool, corruption-aura and racial demagogue Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida went so far as to blame, a few years back, woke and DEI for the bank meltdown series and collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Olde Republic Bank and Signature Bank, whose boards of directors and executives were white and whose personnel were primarily white. MAGA DeSantis, a demagogue, like Trump, always frothing at the mouth for a scapegoat with which to juice, gin up and incite the madcap MAGA lynch mob, even proclaimed and argued that slavery of black people was good for them. Aside from the said smokescreen, using the code or dog-whistle terms woke and DEI as substitute words for Afro-heritage black people, rhetorical and political race warfare against such Afro black people by DeSantis, antidemocracy DeSantis attempted as governor of Florida around the time of the 2022 midterm US Congressional and national elections to contravene the unalienable US Constitutional First Amendment freedom of the press and related freedom of speech rights of private enterprise internet social media hosting and publishing platforms, with the constitutionally legal rights to set their own terms of service for users and associate with or not with whomever, or whatever entities, of their choosing and dictate to and command some of them, with threats of multi-thousands of dollars daily fines, to reinstate service to and host political leaders, including Trump, involved in or associated as instigators with the 01-06-2021 insurrectionist attempt to two-pronged violently overthrow and administratively disrupt and corrupt the ceremonial certification of the Electoral College electoral vote count by the two houses of the US Congress and vice president overturn the November of 2020 election of candidate Joe Biden as the new, incoming US president. Needless to say, the platforms filed a law suit in federal district court against anti-Constitutional, anti-US America and legal-system-weaponizer, bluffer DeSantis, whose orders were summarily found in court to be in violation of the affected social media platforms' First Amendment freedom of the press and speech rights (to accept or reject speech and speakers, discretionarily, like any other publisher, be it a book, magazine, movie, music, stage, etc.). He conducted a woke and DEI purge campaign of the entire state government of Florida and thereafter against Disney World in Florida, as a start and stimulus for other entities within the state of Florida to do on their own initiative, While conducting his campaign he was published in photos showing with some black people among white people in them, Machiavellian political duplicity strategy and model. If one is anti-US Constitutional or unconstitutional, in words or deeds, or both, then one is anti-American and anti-America in reference to the USA and the Constitutional Bill-of-Rights (democratic-rights) Republic of the United States of America. Race war against black people of the USA is the theme of or underlying theme of the hangings, burning and bombing attacks of individual, group and mob phobia and rampage attacks, as well as all forms of social, institutional and economic discrimination by overt and covert "gatekeepers," categorically against and on black people (to kill, eliminate or rid for some and to subordinate and disenfranchise for others), sometimes openly declared or brazen and sometimes unsaid, at all levels of white society, and by their collaborator non-white others, including other black people, males and females, "lowly" to high.

By MAGA Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas and non-majority-, small-plurality-vote elected US President Donald Trump as well as many others (formerly the mentality of the Southern states wing of the Democratic Party whose hardcore rank-and-file membership switched over to the Republican Party during the Richard Nixon Presidential Administration of circa the early 1970s in reaction to the bi-partisan US Congress under the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Administration having legislated and enacted into law the 1964 and 1968 Civil Rights outlawing racial discrimination in employment, education, housing, public services and accommodations, and more), race war against black people is conducted by the weaponization of the legal system and government new Jim Crow policies and practices that are conspicuous and obvious, or obviously implicit, but not explicitly so, viscerally and sadistically motivated, whether primally (like tribal-racial identity for many, though not immutably, but not for all folks) or via social conditioning or both), discriminatory, dismissive, derogating, disenfranchising, marginalizing and disempowering of black American ambitions (fully applicable to Native Americans in many locations in the USA, and to women, in general, and other racial minority US citizens, too, less so) for upward mobility and just that, DEI, in the form of black American citizen equality of opportunity and social democracy inclusion in the social, civic, political, worker and vocational skills training, education, economic and progress in individual and collective uplift life in United States of America society. They demagogue woke (democratic rights, and their fair and egalitarian enforcement, political consciousness and activism) and DEI, the equivalent of racial, ethnic, gender, creed and religious affiliation or non-affiliation equality of rights and treatment under the law and participation in USA society, aka E Pluribus Unum, the national motto of the USA, as reverse discrimination against white people, as being against and undoing of traditional white preference, preferential treatment, privilege and monopoly or virtual monopoly ownership, power and control.

Trump is a politically, strategically showmanship, two-faced double dealer fitting bard William Shakespeare's trope "False face doth hide what false heart doth know" and what in political psychology is known as the duplicitous Machiavellian personality. Figuratively, he will look you in the eyes earnestly and shake your hand firmly or smile broadly and affectionately or intensely in your face and thereafter stab or shoot you mortally in the back, gut or brain without a hesitation, wince, pang of conscience, pity or a scintilla of remorse. Latino, black, white businesses affected by international trade or tourism and poor white people who voted for Trump in his successful bid to be elected US president a second time, you are now learning this.

Political Commentary on the 'America Party' Newly Launched by King of the Billionaires Elon Musk

Political Commentary on the 'America Party' Newly Launched by King of the Billionaires Elon Musk

Who Knows, Who Knows, Who Knows What in Effect This Bodes and Which Way Its Wind Blows for American Politics in the Near Term?

New update, as of 07-10-2025

If the America Party that has been launched by billionaire Elon Musk takes root and is viable and credible in election politics in the USA, as an ideological offshoot of the Republican Party (the GOP), it will compete with, suck strength from, split up (or detrimentally siphon off an impactful degree of the GOP’s grassroots voting bloc and draw of independent and swing voters), weaken, shrink and undermine the competitiveness of the Trumpian-MAGA GOP in election politics in the USA -- with a probable adverse election effect on the GOP akin to that billionaire Ross Perot and his Reform Party had on the GOP in the 1992 US presidential and national elections. For the GOP and Trump, it is an election-politics foil and spoiler. To their opposition, it is a bitter-sweet, love-hate conundrum of a godsend and possible salvation at this time of precarious constitutional democracy in USA politics, in view of top GOP federal officials, in all 3 branches of the federal government, speaking and acting brazenly in breach and threatened breach of the US Constitution (of our constitutional citizenry-unalienable-bill-of-rights republic) and their oath of office in loyalty to it, with smug and arrogant impunity.

The America Party expectedly will be worse on the GOP than was billionaire presidential candidate Ross Perot and his Reform Party in November of 1992 because it won't be the presidency that this party is imminently out to capture but it is seats in the House of Representatives and Senate of the US Congress in the US midterm elections of November of 2026 that it is seeking first.

Political elections history reflects that political party weak, weakened or weakest candidacy incumbents and challenger candidates and political party-leaning weak-link districts or states are the most vulnerable and susceptible to contestation. The insurgent America Party undoubtedly knows or will shortly come to know this, as does the Democratic Party well know it, and will leverage it to its benefit. It will do so knowing that the US Congressional GOP's and Trump's legislated post-Big Beautiful Bill and Trump-tariffs' adverse-economic-effects fallout, immediate and politically strategically and self-defensively scheduled by the majority GOP membership of both houses of the US Congress to phase in and be painfully most felt following the November of 2026 midterm US Congressional and national elections, differentially has heavily struck or is legislatively structured to soon strike production, agricultural and retail businesses (Trump's constitutionally illegal presidential tariffs, which are import-export taxes/duties that only the US Congress has the US Constitutional authority to levy) and pink- and blue-collar workers and their medical and natural disaster infrastructure and services (Trump's presidential tariffs and his and the MAGA-GOP's Big Beautiful Bill hereinabove defined) across all red, purple and blue states and the within them rural, urban and suburban geographies of the USA, and so will expose MAGA-GOP members of both houses of the US Congress to their diminished electability from the voting anger and backlash against them of these victims.

Elon Musk, in saying that he would run challenger candidates against and to replace congressional members of the House and Senate of the US Congress who chose to vote, and actually did vote, for economics incompetent and personal serial bankruptcy businessman US President Donald Trump and his 'Big Beautiful Federal Government, MAGA Fiscal Policy Bill' for supersizing the national debt and budget deficit at the cost of decimating the social safety net and scientific national security infrastructure for the public of the USA and bankrupting the USA (governmentally, if not also, unintentionally by highly possible collateral damage, the economy) in order to attempt to pay for, or fund, and make permanent hefty and special tax cuts favoring multimillionaires, billionaires and big business, excluding the green-and-clean energy business sector, has said in effect that he will be fielding a slate of candidates, now of this new the America Party, to compete for those seats up for reelection in the House and Senate of the US Congress, which happen to be GOP seats since it was exclusively GOP members of both houses of the US Congress who voted for the bill to make it law, in the November of 2026 midterm US Congressional elections.

**Musk is not much of a positive alternative to Trump, but he is the better of these two bad choices within the whacko MAGA sadomasochist, oligarchy-populist madcap political camp in that he is a tried-and-true enormously successful green-and-clean energy tech doer-producer and leader on his own initiative, naturally as a person, to his credit, and the America Party through his leadership and influence in it, very importantly, can at least effectively advocate for, promote and protect the viability and advancement of this industry in the chambers of the US Congress as well as in right-wing USA and beyond it, in the best interest of our planetary and climatic health, nationally and globally.**

For a jogging of the memory function of mind-wiped MAGA voters who selectively forgot it in their United States of Amnesia social-political bubble, get this: at the end of Trump's first term as US president in January of 2021, he left the US economy in a wreck with mass business failures, understocked stores and store shelves and disrupted and broken-down domestic and international commerce supply chains for supplying goods to stores and businesses in general, soaring price inflation for products and services, spiked unemployment, the end to the longest, on autopilot, boom economy in US history that he inherited, and tried to claim credit for it while it lasted under his mismanagement, from termed-out President Barack Obama as the elected successor US president to President Obama, and well more than a million casualties in COVID-19 pandemic-related hospitalizations and deaths, of which there were more than a million deaths alone.

Already approximately midway within the first six months of Trump’s return as the incumbent US president on January 20, 2025, there is a variable per exporter foreign nation and import-product-type comprehensive, called an "across-the-board," national sales tax, the same as and also termed a such consumption tax, in the name of a tariff or tariffing and tariffs, on all imports coming into the USA that is/are in net effect paid by US user, producer and distributor (wholesale and retail) companies and retail consumers -- that is, ultimately paid by the US citizenry taxpayers and their taxpayer entities. It is/they are a de facto, as just said, US presidentially imposed, federal, national sales tax and substantial new and extra subtraction of money from the citizenry's incomes, upon each citizen's or citizenry entity's, directly or indirectly, almost every purchase, in addition to their federal income taxes as well as and in addition to miscellaneous other federal taxes and fees and state income taxes and state and local sales. This new tax regime of variable yet across-the-board presidential tariffs constituting a national sales tax concurrent with and in addition to traditional and ongoing federal, state and local government income and miscellaneous taxes and fees, is largely for paying for the tax cuts of Trump's and the US Congressional MAGA-GOP’s federal budget and solvency busting big and special tax cuts favoring millionaires, billionaires and big business and to super fund US national defense and fund US support of the military and civilian society of foreign nation Israel, the latter with the US presidency, Congress and treasury serving as Israel's personal and direct servile and philanthropic banker in preference and priority to and over the US taxpayers' and domestic citizenry needs and common good, in which US taxpayers are involuntarily the source of this permanent financial favoritism and support of a foreign nation, the foreign nation of Israel, with US funding taxpayer tax money.

The statistically pruned and weighted realistic average of this new Trump-tariff-based national sales tax is a new and high extra tax on consumer and affected business incomes and is and will further drive up all-around prices for consumers and costs for businesses and consequential inflation and reduce buyer, household and business purchasing power and business profits and compel business workforce layoffs. The mainstream consumer middle class (with household incomes less than $500,000 annually, mostly well below it) and under class, are already experiencing these mounting adverse economic effects. Trump and the MAGA Republicans will ravage and crash the US economy again, like Trump has and they invariably routinely have again and again before, opening the way for another Democratic Party president to repair and restore the economy, if our constitutional bill of rights republic form of government survives intact until the November of 2026 US Congressional and national elections and our economy can be repaired this time around, starting from January 20, 2029, which, if this happens, for it to be followed by Republicans running a candidate for US president in November of 2032 to cut taxes again skewed primarily to the benefit of high liquidity cash-value multimillionaires and billionaires, like Trump's Big Hunk-of-Bunk Bill for tax cut favoring multimillionaires and billionaires, super funding the US military and sugar-daddy supporting foreign nation Israel because its leaders and people say it is financial sugar-daddy USA's best friend and is, cringe, a democracy, entailing increasing the US national debt and budget deficit again by the Republicans that they complain so much about but are their cause.

When the crash or deep slump of the US economy comes, the private equity firms, hedge-funds companies and major stock-market short sellers, like the bandits and vulture capitalists they can be or are, will feast and glut, at big bargain acquisitions and gains, on the losses.

After Trump signed into law July 4, 2025 his wish-list ballyhooed Big Beautiful Bill legislation passed by the GOP majority memberships of both houses of the US Congress, you learn from public legislative, financial and economic experts and analysts in the news media that there are disqualifying income amount thresholds for being eligible for tax-free tip and overtime earnings and that there is an exemption amount of income from taxation on Social Security pension income, an income qualifying threshold, for seniors. None of these sources of income is/are tax free for all (but may be limitedly entirely tax free for some, with definitively low income), as deceptively and falsely implied and publicized during the Trump-candidacy presidential election campaign of 2024:  Trump Made A Massive Campaign Promise That He Did Not Keep, And Now He's Pretending He Actually Did (yahoo.com)

Musk's indicated currently personal DOGE is apparently now venturing to conduct a cleanup and cleanout of the waste, fraud, abuse and corruption, the breathing, walking, talking and posturing [politician] kind, in the US Congress and White House, too, and soon.

Surmise on a Possible Relationship Between Theoretical Tachyon Superluminal Quantum Particles and Normal-Matter Quantum-Particle-Entanglement Instantaneous-Information-Synchrony Spooky Action at a Distance

Surmise on a Possible Relationship Between Theoretical Tachyon Superluminal Quantum Particles and Normal-Matter Quantum-Particle-Entanglement Instantaneous-Information-Synchrony Spooky Action at a Distance, as the “Hidden Variables” Accounting for This Conjectured Instantaneous Spooky Action at a Distance by Physicist Albert Einstein

Tachyons might be force carriers of a superluminal energy source and universal fundamental force field, analogous to that of the electromagnetic or magnetic field, of the universe and thereby escape detection and visibility by and of their interactional experience with the baryonic matter, as well as normal energy sources, of our baryonic energy-matter state of the universe. According to the mathematician Karl Schwarzschild, who collaborated with Albert Einstein on Einstein's famous 'General Theory of Relativity' and mathematically perfected it, speed exceeding light speed, asserted by Einstein and empirically confirmed to be the speed limit of mass in, or the mass of, our universe, is possible, but, according to Schwarzschild, anything moving faster than light would be invisible and undetectable. If superluminal tachyons exist, they might mediate the quantum entanglement and quantum-entanglement effects of quantumly entangled quantum particles and atoms and molecules of the baryonic matter, or mass, state of the universe. They could be Albert Einstein's conjectured hidden variables explanatory of superluminal spooky-action-at-a-distance instantaneous information synchrony between separated, in distances modest to vast, quantum-entanglement and quantumly entangled quantum particles.

Trump and Team's Underlying Strategy for Unconstitutionally, Thus Federally Illegally, Presidentially Federalizing State of California National Guard Troops and Deploying Them to a Local Policing Crime Scene, Small Riot, in the City of Los Angeles, CA

Trump and team's underlying strategy for unconstitutionally, thus federally illegally, presidentially federalizing state of California National Guard troops and deploying them, in the absence of their deployment to enforce violation of a federal felony-related law by the state, along with expressly combat US Marine troops, whose officially designated use is for foreign combat, to the streets of the city of LA, CA,, in response to a local crime scene of a comparatively small and police-contained riot, which, were it not readily containable by the LA police force, could have easily been contained by reinforcements of state police, the county sheriff's department and neighboring city police forces, standard practices for riots in CA and elsewhere, as well as, immediately put on high alert, if necessary, deployment of state National Guard troops by the governor of the state of California,, is:

  

'Operation Making a Mountain Out of a Molehill'

[for political-grandstanding strongman, authoritarian presidential military might and power display and their publicity and promotion of his strongman political persona and, further, for his thereby winning (subduing and silencing the political counterpart opposition) by intimidation and replicating this field test, if it is not deterred henceforth, by upholding and enforcing established federal law against it, by the GOP-majority US Congress or such Judiciary, [of] the president's constitutionally and federal statutory-law illegal discretionary use of the military on the local level as the standard, as the model, wherever chosen applicable].

Trump's modus operandi is to try to go as far as he wants or must, however legally and ethically wrong, at least fightback harm against him, to get his way, and, if he gets his wrongful way, for him to gloat and carry on, go forth, with it.

Trump will do everything that he can get away with, beforehand, to induce fear in and intimidate opposition votes to MAGA-GOP candidates in the November of 2026 midterm national elections so as not to lose his compliant MAGA-GOP majority memberships in the House of Representatives and Senate of the US Congress. He knows that with a majority membership of Democrats in either chamber or, for him, worse, both chambers of the US Congress that he will become a lame-duck president and might be impeached again as US president and possibly be removed as president in a presidential impeachment trial of him in the US Senate in which he is impeachment convicted. He is desperate and determined that none of this happens and will do everything he can meanwhile to avert it.

Another such extreme action underway in preliminary Congressional legislation originated and passed by the MAGA-GOP majority in the House of Representatives and sent to the Senate for its reconciliation and passage by the MAGA-GOP majority there, quite possibly or probably intended to impact the 2026 midterm national elections, is an unconstitutional Congressional statutory law stripping the Constitutional third co-equal and independent (separate) Judiciary branch of the federal government of its constitutional power to punitively sanction presidential violations of US constitutional and Congressional law and compel the president's compliance with them, wherein Congressional law is subordinate to supreme US Constitutional law and cannot violate the Constitution in order for it to be valid and existential, and the US president constitutionally has no law-making authority, as distinguished from federal law-enforcement authority, whatsoever (presidential executive orders are not laws but are federal executive policy directives and practices, which must be compliant with both US Constitutional and Congressional-statutory law in order for them to be legally valid -- they are applicable to federal executive branch agencies and personnel for their implementation and practice)

(See Pertinent Clause [16] of this constitutional article, Article 1, Section 8, below, highlighted in bold and underlined, and its clear constitutional link to the aforementioned Second Amendment (Amendment II)*

 

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States enumerates Congress's powers. It grants the following powers to Congress regarding war:

 

"The Congress shall have Power . . .

[10] To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations

[11] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water

[12] To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years

[13] To provide and maintain a Navy

[14] To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces

[15] To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions

[16] "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress."*

 

This article provision of the US Constitution is the spatiotemporal textual explanatory antecedent of and verb-predicate for and interrelates with the Second Amendment of the Constitution in which the well-relegated militias of the states, renamed the state national guards, are constituted, selectively staffed according to formal uniformed physical-and-mental-fitness selection criteria or standards, equipped, provisioned and overseen (held accountable) by the state legislatures and the militia (national-guard) applicable legislation of these and led by their state commanders in chief, the state governors, subject to the laws of the US Constitution and laws and regulation of its subordinate the US Congress. Like the federal armed forces, according to this article provision of the Constitution, stated again for emphasis, they are subject to the constitutionally legal senior legislative and control authority of the US Congress, and not straightforwardly that of the US president independently of the armed-forces-related and state-militia-related laws of the supreme US Constitution and the constitutionally subordinate to it legislated statutory laws of the US Congress. State militias can be federalized respectively by the US president under emergency criteria established in federal law, including during a US war (constitutionally, a war formally declared by the US Congress), to enforce federal law, being Constitutional law or Congressional statutory law, that is compliant with Constitutional law, that state officials violate and fail timely or refuse to comply with, or when a governor requests or agrees to temporary presidential control of a state militia, for an acute and temporary law-enforcement support purpose or mission. The president cannot constitutionally or federally legally discretionarily take command and control of state militias, neither permanently nor temporarily.*

 

Not only does Congress have the enumerated powers listed above, but it also relies upon several other powers with regard to war. These include the following:

• Article I, Section 8, Clause 1: The taxing and spending powers

• Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: The necessary and proper clause

The U.S. Constitution grants Congress many war-related powers. Throughout American history, Congress and the president have offered conflicting interpretations of these and other powers.

The following sections describe some of these conflicts and relevant U.S. Supreme Court cases interpreting them.

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. -Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1385 Modern Exceptions: Title 18 U.S. Code, Section 831, provides that if nuclear material is involved in an emergency, the Secretary of Defense may provide assistance to the Department of Justice, notwithstanding the Posse Comitatus Act. Title 10 U.S. Code, Chapter18, authorizes military support for civilian law enforcement agencies for counterdrug operations and in emergencies involving chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction. The Secretary of Defense may provide information, allow the use of military equipment and facilities, train law enforcement officials in the operation and maintenance of military equipment, and maintain such          equipment. Support for law enforcement agencies may not impair military readiness, and military personnel shall not participate in searches, seizures, arrests, or similar activities unless such participation is otherwise authorized by law.

The US Congress Cannot Reassign Its US Constitutional Duties and Authorities, or Any One of Them, Such as Imposing Tariffs and Making or Declaring War, to the US President

The US Congress Cannot Reassign Its US Constitutional Duties and Authorities, or Any One of Them, Such as Imposing Tariffs and Making or Declaring War, to the US President or US Judiciary, But Questionably and Doubtfully It Might Be Able to Somehow Reassign Them, that is, Divest Itself of Them, by the Arduous Amendment Process of the US Constitution Specified in the US Constitution

Congress cannot reassign its duties and authorities prescribed and assigned specifically to it in the text of the supreme law of the USA of the governance supreme Constitution of the USA, with only the possible exception of an amendment of the US Constitution through the amendment process to the US Constitution specified in it to do so. Congress cannot, as well, legally delegate its constitutional rights, duties and authorities to another branch of government or a member or function thereof, which, if it wrongfully did, would be to breach or collapse the US Constitution's intended and delineated separation of the mutual checks-and-balances governance powers of the three separate and co-equal branches of the federal government it established and authorizes to exist as such.

However, Congress can delegate by legislation, without a constitutional amendment, areas of its rights and duties of constitutional governance jurisdiction, when it is in the national interest and service, for it to do so, to non-partisan experts where expertise is verifiably vital or highly beneficial to the nation in common, such as to its overall comity, health and/or welfare.
