Trump's sovereignty doctrine

Although many seek to find something sinister in this idea, Trump is right. And it is good that he used the words “sovereign” and “sovereignty” 13 times.

The U.S. Constitution is an experiment in self-government, deriving from a longer tradition of social contract theory. It presupposes that the moral legitimacy of any government depends not upon its fulfillment of obligations to foreign powers or international standards or a world popularity contest, but upon its commitment to and protection of the natural rights of its own citizens.

If the federal government is taking actions that don’t directly or indirectly promote American citizens’ common interests and natural rights, then whose interests and whose rights is it promoting? Any such exercise of power is wrong.

When a government fails to fulfill this essential obligation to its citizens, it loses its legitimacy, and those subjected to it are justified in rebellion. This was the theory behind the Declaration of Independence. With each passing day, members of all three branches of the current federal government should be thinking of how to make sure America does not slide away from this principle.

The nation is nowhere near the point at which armed rebellion could be justified, but it has suffered a lot under rulers who failed to put America first. There is broad agreement today that officials of both political parties in Congress and in the administration of President George W. Bush chose the Iraq War. In hindsight, this was a war of choice that did not promote American interests in the region or secure the liberties of citizens at home.

Foresight also showed that the Iraq war was "ill-advised"...there was no idea what winning would be....same thing in Afghanistan.

I am 100% positive that if you check the way back machine the Washington Times and every far right wing freak on here was foaming at the mouth in approval of both wars.

As for the rest of the article and for Trump..

Trump's trade policies, as the article states are "misguided", are a distinct negative for this country and do not "promote American citizens' common interest". Other things about the speech that don't "promote American interests" include:

*belittling our allies.

*lying to the point of evoking laughter from the audience

*praising or failing to call out our enemies

Trump is a disgrace. The world is now laughing at us in real time...not just in the tweet storm fantasy vision our of inept, incompetent, and unfit president.
