Look up Nixon and his windfall tax.

The president is not powerless.

so the options are "powerless" and "magical wizard". what a world you live in.

Hardly.

I just gave you an example of precedent and how former presidents successfully navigated similar circumstances.

You're just content to ignore it because it's too hard for you to face the fact that Genocide Joe just doesn't give a damn about the poor and working class.

The actions you are taking and have announced you will continue to take, will work toward significantly increasing the misery of Palestinian people. It's not guesswork. It's just basic observation of past events.

So yeah, I don't really buy that you care about them, if your reaction is a toddler tantrum that will definitely hurt them...
