✧ Theodore Roosevelt ✧

Roosevelt previously was involved in New York politics, including serving as the state's 33rd governor for two years. He served as the 25th vice president under President William ...

"The Foreigner Pays the Tax".

Cartoon by J. S. Pughe for "Puck" magazine, 1895, about William McKinley's high tariff policies.

Caption:
"JUST WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED -
He built his house on a sand-heap; and the rising tide is making short work of it."

It sorta feels like someone might have taken inspiration from the top half of this cartoon without bothering to look at the bottom half.

Klar rufen der Prof & ich in "Blume & Ince" 33 auch gerne zur heutigen Bundestagswahl auf!

Außerdem klären wir, warum der nun 40jährige Inan Ince als Schwabe "weise" & "gescheit" werde. Und was es bedeutet, dass Donald Trump sich auf die Zollpolitik von William McKinley beruft.

Zum Schluss auch noch einige Ausführungen zur medialen Aufmerksamkeitsfalle in der Medienpsychologie und Medienethik.

As Trump Targets AP, Media Urged to Resist Moves Like 'Gulf of America' Renaming: "It's at times like these that journalists need to put down their pens and advocate for accountable leadership," asserted one campaigner. (Common Dreams, 2025-02-14)

"AP ... has explained that, because the gulf is an international body of water, it will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico because Mexico ... and other countries do not recognize the new name.

"In contrast, the AP said it will call Denali, the highest peak in North America, Mt. McKinley following a name change by Trump because the Alaska mountain is located entirely inside the United States." 🤔

#Denali #McKinley

De overeenkomsten tussen #DonaldTrump en zijn grote voorbeeld #WilliamMcKinley. #McKinley was dol op handelstarieven (50%) en heeft met geweld diverse stukken buitenland aan de #VerenigdeStaten toegevoegd, zoals de #Filipijnen, #PuertoRico, het Pacifische eiland #Guam en #Hawaii. Tevens zette deze president de eerste stappen voor de aanleg van het #Panamakanaal.

O, en hij werd uiteindelijk vermoord tijdens een massale rally, maar dat zal wel een verschil zijn. 😊

#Trump

#Alaska lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved a resolution that *urges* #Trump to halt his plans to change the name of the continent’s largest mountain from #Denali to Mount #McKinley. The state Senate voted 19-0 on Friday to pass the resolution, following a 31-8 vote in the state House last week.

Why #Trump admires President McKinley, the original ‘#tariff man’

President Donald Trump says #McKinley made the United States prosperous through tariffs. Historians say that’s an incomplete understanding of the 25th president. #History #USpol

Meanwhile, in the normal world:

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/ecuador-president-says-new-trade-deal-with-canada-finalized-2025-02-02/

"#Ecuador president says new #trade deal with #Canada finalized"

Apparently, #Trump admires President #McKinley's #tariffs (same guy Trump replaced #Denali's name with)

This fucking moron is trying to recreate antiquated #protectionist bullshit from the #GildedAge that doesn't work in the modern world

#China will expand its trade

Canada and Ecuador and others will bypass the #USA

And the USA will suffer mightily

So fucking stupid

L'inspiration de #Trump qui le pousse à imposer des #TarifsDouaniers à ses alliés vient de son admiration pour l'ancien président William #McKinley.

«Vous savez, ils ont eu un débat en… C’était le grand débat sur les tarifs de 1888», a raconté [Trump] lors d’un discours-fleuve de deux heures devant un groupe de #conservateurs, en 2019. «Et le débat tenait au fait que nous ne savions pas quoi faire de tout l’argent que nous gagnions. Nous étions si riches.»

#Google Maps will rename the Gulf of #Mexico to "Gulf of America" and #Denali to "Mount #McKinley" in line with a #POTUS47 order. In Mexico, users will still see "Gulf of Mexico," while users in other countries will see both names.

"It’s not surprising that Donald Trump thinks the 1890s were a golden age. For people like him — the lazy sons of the New York wealthy — the era had a lot to offer.

But for everyone else, it was an experience that ranged from bad to horrific. Anyone who’s actually studied this era should be terrified of a politician who sees it as a model to be replicated."

"Meanwhile, nearly half of the country had no savings or investments at all. The wages they made in an industrial economy whose rules were stacked against them were barely enough to keep afloat. As a result, a full eleven million of the twelve million households in America — a full 92% of the country — lived below the poverty line."

"The wealthiest Americans — the ones regular folk called 'robber barons' — made off like, well, bandits. A full third of the nation’s wealth was owned by the top 2% of American households in the late 19th century; three-quarters of it was owned by the top 10%."

"and in cities across the country, the wealthy dressed their horses and coachmen in expensive livery, threw costly dinners, built seaside mansions they called 'cottages,' and wore diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. When the daughter of a former senator married, she wore a $10,000 dress and a diamond tiara, and well-wishers sent 'necklaces of diamonds [and] bracelets of diamonds, sapphires, and rubies.'”

"The McKinley years were those of the Gilded Age, in which industrialists amassed fortunes that they spent in spectacular displays. Cornelius and Alva Vanderbilt’s home on New York’s Fifth Avenue cost more than $44 million in today’s dollars, with stables finished in black walnut, cherry, and ash, with sterling silver metalwork,"

Both Heather Cox Richardson and Kevin Kruse, accomplished historians each of them, comment on Trump's recent paean of praise to President McKinley and the Gilded Age — an age to which he promises to take us back if we give him the presidency again.

"By pointing to McKinley’s presidency to justify his economic plan, Trump gives away the game."
