Trying to stay on top of all the craziness coming out of the White House these days is kind of like trying to drink from a firehose, but if we take a minute to look a little more closely at what Trump is doing, it forces us to ask some rather serious questions. Sarah Burris of Raw Story explains:
RICK: Also, I understand we have changed the eagle seal or we were going to change the eagle seal. Walk me through this. Walk me through Seal Gate.
SARAH: OK, so - I had not heard about this until this weekend. And it was a really obscure kind of thing that I read. And I was like, wait, how has nobody talked about this? And it is one of the executive orders that Trump pulled back, that he repealed, is the executive order that changes the direction that the seal, the eagle on the seal of America faces.
When we were - the eagle has in its talons arrows and an olive branch. And when we are at peace as a country, the eagle faces the olive branch. And when we are at peacetime as a country, the eagle faces the olive branch. When we are at war, it faces the arrows.
We are not at war.
And so the fact that he wanted to change it to facing the arrows makes me just immediately go:
Wait a second, are we going to war with somebody?
Now, it is quite possible, and even likely, that Trump rescinded this order for no reason other than it was Joe Biden’s order and therefore it had to be eliminated. After all, calling Trump petty is not a jab; it’s just a statement of fact. But when dealing with MAGA-world, where literally anything, no matter how nonsensical, can happen at any moment, no one can dismiss the possibility that Trump could declare war on anyone, anywhere, for any reason, or for no reason at all. That’s just the world we all live in now.
