There is an old saying in Washington that if you want to understand politicians, look at what they do, not what they say. On that front there is no ambiguity. The Republican president is imposing big new taxes, and he is doing it in a way that does not require congressional approval.

Destabilizing our government and the global economic superpowers to serve his Russian overlords? Or, equally as likely, to make his next successor seem like Jesus in comparison?
Take your pick. My money’s on all three…
