As a country there may have always been the underlying belief that the United States does have a certain power and influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, I do not believe any President of modern times has flaunted that belief or wielded it to get what he wants. At least not blatantly and disrespectfully.
Trump has put all this in a whole new light. He is bringing us back to the ancient days of how the Romans, the Norsemen and Vikings operated. Greedy lust for power and control, wealth and riches driving them to conquer other lands and other peoples.
He has not restricted his hunger for power to our closest or smallest neighbors in this hemisphere. Trump is all over the globe. He wants to take over Canada (not a small or weak neighbor!), Greenland, Gaza, Iran and Cuba. His greed has no boundaries and no end. He is not only destroying our democracy and our country. He is well on the way to mass destruction worldwide.
His lack of regard for the consequences and price of war and alienation of our allies is that of a deranged maniac who is out of control. His offhand comments and levity regarding his deep rooted plans and desires is more of his desensitizing and brainwashing. He must be stopped, what is it going to take. His attack on Iran is resulting in widespread war with devastating consequences to life, infrastructure, world economy and planet. We need this chaos and the man causing it to stop.
I only read half of this, because I was afraid that the comments I had in mind couldn't be entered if I didn't subscribe. I don't. I very much like the Coffman Chronicle, as I very much like other accounts, but my resources are not unlimited, and given everything else, there are only a certain number of $80 subscriptions to which I can commit.
In any event, my first impulse was to point out what was to me a glaring inconsistency: the government that is in the throes of anti-immigration now fancies itself arch immigrants. In Venezuela, imaginably in Greenland, and now in Cuba. (If Rubio, or the clown, is so eager for Rubio to head Cuba, why doesn't he just go home, and run for president, supreme leader, or whatever they call their head of government?)
Second, however, and keeping in mind your focus on the Monroe Doctrine, it appears that it's a one-way street: we wouldn't want any other country invading us, but the current American "government" has no inhibitions about invading other countries.
It's ashamed that it is all to "normal" to be still hearing. This country's people and our government have for the last 50 years been at odds. The people want peace and reassurance from our government that we will be able to support and take care of our families and the government tells lies and breaks campaign promises!
It is because of this two party system that was hold so dear. But, there does need to be changes so that big money, gerrymandering, and electrical college is removed from our governmental elections! We need to have more parties on every ballot in every state so that the people are the ones who choose who is in office that represents a true people's government! Also, there needs to be a limit on how many terms a government office can be held, meaning that Senators and Congressmen and women can only hold office for say 4 years than they can no longer run for office. Too many of our Senator and Congress men and women have been in office way too long and have become complacent and have lost touch with what their constituents voted them into office for in the first place! Especially this administration and the MAGA party!
I would prefer the "DonGo doctrine," as in Don't Go there. Of course, as a serial predator, he is all in on grabbing whatever he can.

I'll read the second half. My apologies.
And we will never gatekeep comments to paid subscribers. I promise.
I know, but my concern was because I am not a paid subscriber. Your post accepted my comment anyway. Thank you.
I appreciate the feedback.
The orange stain thinks he can't be held responsible for his crimes. He will find out that his next impeachment will be his last .
PS: There's something larger than the clown's personality? Or are you categorizing arrogance as separate from personality?
Stop it!

This President, and his adm, is not capable of running our USA, let alone running Venezuela, or Cuba.
WE NEED to take back our White House and our Congress
