Whether it is 'Donny' or 'Joey', just remember,...
Proverbs 21:1 KJV
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Colombia agrees to take deported migrants after Trump tariff showdown
He uses tariffs as a tool to get the desired effects, just as other 'capitalist' presidents have done in the past. It's a good thing if used wisely.

Ah, there is the point…. Unfortunately, that’s not going to work to control the PRC.
hamas backing down also now, and China will respond oince they relaise that Trump does both talk big and use a big stick, unlike Biden who spoke softly and wielded a roll up newspaper
So they are now kings? Really
China is a wide and diverse country with an economy that keeps growing, probably bigger than ours… so intimidating them with tariffs will not work. Remember the last time Trump attempted this already with retailers, computer companies, appliance distributors, car manufacturers all took hits with delays in deliveries & prices went up for the consumers. Then think about this, the US military relies on China to make the drones which has become necessary for war initiatives….LOL, all in, we are just stabbing ourselves in the eye.

Let's just say they are part of the 'higher powers'..Kings, presidents, Governors etc.So they are now kings? Really
Romans 13:1 KJV
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
You are preaching to da choir…so, tell me something I don’t know but again, I don’t consider politicians as higher powers. They are mostly crooks and grifters in reality that I have no allegiance to.

When they have executive power like the POTUS, then yes, they are considered a 'higher power' , what else would you consider him, a 'lower power'?
Are you in touch with reality?!? What level then would you consider Gavin Nusence…isn’t he your governor? OK tell me , was Christ an idealist? BTW, I repeat, I don’t consider any politician a higher power. Being humans, they are naturally prone to sinning… therefore I have no locality and I have no allegiance to them or anyone not Christ.

If you consider Christ your highest power don't you think it's time to start obeying Him and his word?..
Romans 13:1-2 ESV
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. [2] Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
.
Nuff said.

Exercise? Off topic!Good… doom & gloom. take a hike
My topic is Captalism. I’m a capitalist so I have little or no patience with liberal theories that pollute American freedoms to govern themselves. My great grandfather ran away from the Soviet countries and transferred his energy to creating his own business and finally to owning his own farm in Pennsylvania so he had control of feeding his family and extended family in times of economic caos. He never bought into this socialistic idea of having the State running his life thus interfering (ie., dictating his & his families existence). If my great grandfather had done that then we all would have been slaves indeed . So from my perspective and from the experiences of my ancestors, we choose freedom rather than slave mentality and that translates into the God given providence provided by our creator. I personally live by the scripture that asks, will not the Creator of the universe do right? And that question has extremely far reaching consequences beyond most human comprehension. So when I ask you to explain to me, “was Christ an idealist,”I am tasking you to consider your very understanding of God. You don’t have to answer that … rather think beyond that possible character trait of the Almighty.Then, what do you conclude?

You told me to'take a hike', so I responded with, 'exercise'? I guess you didn't get it, as you went off talking about your grandfather.
You are assuming I am some sort of communal living, drug snorting, anarchy supporting, free-love, free-sex radical hippy out of the'60's..from California. Well 50 years ago you would have been correct, but since Jesus Christ got hold of my life all that has been changed. So please don't be running around prejudging people just because they are from California.

Like that verse says,..
Genesis 18:25 NKJV
Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
..we’ll let the judge of the earth judge and trust His judgments.
If this is your question?…Once again Dude, ya didn’t answer the question…why are you evading the question?
I believe I did when I trusted Jesus as my only hope and salvation.
