The Donald said: "I will focus my main efforts on the military. We are a great nation with 50 states. We are at war. The federal government cannot handle day care, Medicaid, and Medicare—these matters should be taken up by state governments, who should manage them themselves by raising their own taxes and funding them independently."
Interestingly, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said: "Imagine if Iran had used the tens of billions of dollars it spends supporting proxies and weapons to help its people instead—its country would be vastly different."
Let’s use Rubio’s spear to pierce The Donald’s shield—let’s see what happens.
The Donald’s claim, “I will focus my main efforts on the military,” sounds familiar, doesn’t it? In the movie *The Great Decisive Battle*, Chiang Kai-shek once said exactly the same thing. History truly repeats itself—today’s Donald is learning from Chiang Kai-shek on how to become an outstanding micromanager.
But even more dangerous for the United States is The Donald’s assertion that the federal government won’t handle issues like day care, Medicaid, and Medicare, leaving them entirely to the states. His words amount to offloading the federal government’s responsibilities—but the problem is, once these burdens are dumped, the federal government’s authority and control power diminish significantly, while state powers grow stronger. Many American citizens might think: if the federal government doesn’t want to take responsibility for anything, then what’s the point of having a federal government at all? So now, as The Donald targets Iran, he may actually be laying the groundwork for splitting the United States apart. Truly brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
