The Trump administration has crafted a draft bill — ordered by the president — that would declare America's abandonment of World Trade Organization rules, according to Axios. The bill essentially provides President Donald Trump — who has argued for a better position for the U.S. in big trade pacts — a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and largely outside of the international rules governed by the WTO. The bill, titled the "United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act," would give Trump unilateral power to ignore the two most basic principles of the WTO and negotiate one-on-one with any country.

The modern Democratic party, or at least its machinery and all parts of it over the age of 45 or so, are dead. A lost cause. Worse, a festering gangrenous wound that's taken up so much of the body it can't be amputated. They did this to themselves in the late 60s and early 70s, and like all huge creatures, it takes the head a while to say ouch when someone steps on the tail.
