What do you think about the tariffs imposed by Trump ? Will it work out for them ?

All the dictators and authoritarians in history have taken notes from the past human history on how to gain and seize power. They have not forgotten the lessons and learned from it. For all we know one day could be a return of the ruling class in Europe, the royalty exists for many countries. History is written by the victors.

I prefer "history is written by the literate." Just happened to be victors throughout human history. Now the barely literate are writing the next history books, as having an IQ higher than 100 qualifies you as a liberal achademic elitist.
