Among the most important determinants of economic success are the rule of law and economic and political certainty, and Trump threatens all of these. https://business.columbia.edu/sites/default/files-efs/imce-uploads/Joseph_Stiglitz/23%20Nobel%20Economists%20letter.pdf

May 30, 2025, 7:06 p.m. ET - Still, Mr. Trump’s tirade strained an already uneasy relationship with traditional legal conservatives. Many share the president’s goals of strengthening border security, curbing the administrative state and ending “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs, said John Yoo, a conservative law professor. But, he added, they dislike some of Mr. Trump’s methods, whether that is prolifically invoking emergency powers or insulting judges who rule against his administration. “Calling for the impeachment of judges, attacking Leonard Leo personally and basically calling him as traitor as far as I can tell — Trump is basically turning his back on one of his biggest achievements of his first term,” he added, referring to the reshaping of the federal judiciary.

That REDUX quote you linked was from 05 FEB -- as to being OK, it seems OK to him.

It isn't all I remember although I left NYC in 1980. If you want to say that at any point I felt that this guy should never President -- even though until NOV 2016 that wasn't anything I was to seriously consider -- then nothing has changed only more so.

Like I said they left it out -- but if the outside agitator was from NY after a few syllables, everyone would know.

Argyle From NY Post Published June 1, 2025, 10:57 a.m. ET GOP Sen. Joni Ernst gives mock apology to lefty critics for acknowledging ‘we all are going to die’ during Medicaid argument Iowa GOP Sen. Joni Ernst has delivered a backhanded apology for acknowledging everyone dies during a town hall that included frustration over Trump Medicaid reforms. “A woman who was extremely distraught screamed out from the back corner of the auditorium, ‘People are going to die!’ Ernst also ripped into the “hysteria that’s out there coming from the left” over the blowback to her comments about death. https://nypost.com/2025/06/01/us-news/gop-sen-joni-ernst-gives-mock-apology-to-lefty-critics-for-acknowledging-everyone-dies/ __________________ But the NY Post let out the part that the 'the extremely distraught woman' was a paid out side agitator maybe from New Yawk.

Transcript of Ernst apology from DesMoines Register: "Hello everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for a statement that I made yesterday at my town hall," she began, before describing the incident. "I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that yes, we are all going to perish from this Earth," she said. "So I apologize. And I’m really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well. "But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ," she added. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/31/iowa-sen-joni-ernst-posts-sarcastic-apology-after-viral-medicaid-comments-we-all-are-going-to-die/83967492007/
