TrumpUSA: The War Market Dread?

[Abishai100]

War is hell, and TrumpUSA is representative of capitalism-gauged competitive international politics. Did consumerism-zombies elect a casino-owner as its President, or could Trump be another 'symbolic' leader like our last 'celebrity-president' (Ronald Reagan)? Reagan was a 'man of the times,' a movie-star-turned political orator leading his nation in a time when consumerism was really taking off (the so-called "Big '80s" when Oliver Stone made his iconic consumerism-intellectual film Wall Street).

There has been some talk about President Trump leading strikes in Syria and dialogue about potential hot-spots (e.g., North Korea/Russia).

The new age is marked mostly by commerce-driven politics (e.g., European Union, NATO), and America has responded by electing a finance-shrewd capitalism-baron as its President (with the optimism that citizens want leaders who understand the commercial yearnings of the people of the modern world).

Reagan took us through the Cold War, so will Trump lead us into a free-market motivated 'global-war' against anti-Western 'forces' such as Syria and North Korea in an age when the biggest hurdle to commerce and trade-driven political alliances is fundamentalist terrorism (e.g., Taliban attacking World Trade Center on 9/11/2001)?

I like thinking of images of war-minded vigilance and even comic book stylized 'vigilantism' art (e.g., RoboCop, Maniac Cop, Army of Darkness), since modern media reflects a new pedestrian and political interest in fantastic 'mobilization daydreams.'

Who is the enemy if commerce is the only lighthouse for peace (and what do we make of Adam Smith's commerce-treatise The Wealth of Nations)?

Here's a mock dialogue between a fictional patriotic paramilitary American democracy-crusader named 'Duke' and a fictional terrorist about commerce threatened by war.

You decide if TrumpUSA makes you feel 'warm and cuddly' about globalization (and the new free market)...

Will Samsung save the world?

DUKE: Finance and commerce can bring peaceful cultural exchange.
TERRORIST: You forget that immigrants fantasize about profiteerism when they think of Chinatown.
DUKE: New age organizations/institutions such as the European Union use commerce to inspire treaties.
TERRORIST: Different cultures look at mercantilism differently...
DUKE: Israel and Palestine have differed on methods towards globalization but agree about trade.
TERRORIST: The Middle East is not happy with America's brand of 'petroleum politics.'
DUKE: The Gulf War was intended to solidify a peace in a region seething with non-commercial unrest.
TERRORIST: Why do Americans love comic book stories about passionate war?
DUKE: Various war-themed comics/storytelling reflect a citizenry vigilance about 'pedestrian patriotism.'
TERRORIST: Are you saying there is no threat created by natural feelings of mistrust towards commerce?
DUKE: People may be 'cynical' about Starbucks and Burger King, but everyone respects the 'bazaar.'
TERRORIST: If merchants and trade represent human relations, who governs over the tycoons (America)?
DUKE: The United Nations was established to seek balance between nations competing in new markets.
TERRORIST: Something about Wall Street reminds me of piracy and heresy...
DUKE: Fundamentalism should be tempered with considerations about manufacturing goods.
TERRORIST: Are you saying that Industrialization is a 'shield' against theft?
DUKE: I'm saying that the European Union represents a modern focus on commerce-driven sanity.
TERRORIST: Why do I feel threatened by NATO and the USA?
DUKE: You're not thinking about the trade-relations applicability of pragmatic developments such as NAFTA...
TERRORIST: Well, I'll try to remain 'idealistic' about your Hollywood films such as Syriana!

Our Electoral College proclaimed our "real estate guy", Chief Magistrate of the Union. The left, has an excuse.

And,

We have a Commerce Clause, just "call us on it"; maybe AT&T can help.
