“Trump attacks globalism, urges pressure on Iran” (Associated Press, Sept. 25) covered Trump’s speech before the U.N. General Assembly, in which he confirmed his dedication to nationalism over globalism and ignored climate change as if it didn’t exist.
On the same page, in comments before the same body, the secretary general warned of a global economic slide caused by trade wars (“UN chief warns of U.S.-China divide,” Associated Press, Sept. 25). While on the front page was an article describing how Port of Vancouver operations support over 24,000 jobs.
So what is our president suggesting we do? Close this globalist port, send Dollar Tree, Subaru and Harbor Freight packing, tell our farmers to produce only what can be consumed domestically, and direct laid-off port workers to seek employment picking pears and chopping lettuce? Sounds like a good plan to me. Get rid of all the cheap products from Asia and replace illegal farmworkers with unemployed port workers eager for new opportunities. Perhaps we need a slight expansion of Medicare to cover the onset of major back and neck pain. Our president is doing his best to make this additional coverage quite necessary. To the rest of the world we must look like slaves to ourselves.
