  • He threatens to invade places like Greenland or Canada because it normalizes what Russia did to Ukraine.

    The only reason he doesn’t invade them is because he thinks he wouldn’t survive the politics of doing so back home.

    Perhaps near the end of hos “term” he’ll try something then site the conflict as to why the US isn’t going to have an election.

    … he’ll point to Zelensky and say “so it’s fine when he postpones elections for a war, but not me?” - Russia might hack a few things to give his claims of election insecurity appear valid.

    “We can’t hold elections due to the fact we’re under martial law, and due to the hackers from the other side, and due to the on going conflict. For these reasons and more, the election is being postponed.” - Donald Trump, 2028


  • Tying the mortgage repayment rate to the median salary of a single individual would go some way towards fixing things then, but that would mean putting price caps on houses which would devalue the currency and also need anti-cartel laws (eg. Laws mandating a maximum amount of homes one can own, as cartels might see artificially low prices as an opportunity to buy up more houses).

    Artificially constraining parts of banking and all of residential real estate is likely to have other unforeseen effects on the economy, but may still be worth it.

    Another alternative is starting a state bank in which citizens can be part of a rent-to-own mortgage, with minimum but achievable life time repayments. If they don’t meet those minimum payments, the house is sold and the profit from the sale is portioned out between the state bank and the mortgage payer in proportion to how much % they paid off.

    That’s a win win, as theyre probably getting a big cash payment when struggling, and the state bank then gets to relist the home.
