Unless, of course, they punt to the WH and give him blanket authority to manage tariffs. The President is supposed to carry out (the “execute” in “Executive Branch”) the directives of Congress, suggest to them what they should tell him to do, and say “_no, I don’ wanna do_ **that** (_unless you really, really insist_)” (veto power). It was not intended to be top-down, the dissenters do not want it to be top-down, the proponents do want it to be top-down, and the precipitous change of sides every cycle promotes societal instability. ---

It later was adopted as a general sign of peace internationally. I’ve heard it called a “crow’s foot” many times, never a “chicken’s foot”, which is funny because I was a conservative for a long time and consumed a lot of conservative media. Then again, this was long after the Vietnam War, so that meme may have died out before I was old enough to have heard of it. ---

The problem to show that Trump is a chicken is multifold. I suspect that he was bullied by his father and classmates. I mean, come on, he’s a worm. But NOW with the power of the Presidency he may say ‘Oh yeah? I’ll show you’. No one will stop him. SCOTUS and Congress continue to examine their belly button lint, while a ‘man’ destroys the United States of America. ---

He’s taking credit for the core inflation rate being at its lowest in four years. And, of course, his believers are convinced that this means he’s right about everything economic.

> [@OttoDaFe](#): > > [Unca Cecil chimes in](https://www.straightdope.com/21341612/what-s-the-origin-of-the-peace-symbol). Awesome! I love the person trying to “correct” Cecil to say it was designed to represent B-52 bombers in Vietnam and Cambodia, despite the symbol predating those military actions by a number of years. Also, I don’t know why the British would have created it to protest American actions in SE Asia. ---
