Yesterday's VOA/NPR reaction, for example, to Trump's one-liner was ridiculous, nothing but assurances that Trump cannot unilaterally "wipe that out," PR debt.
EX.A Trump's Remarks About Erasing Puerto Rico's Debt Jolt The Markets LISTEN
...The president appeared to walk that back ...
US press response is ridiculous, not only because Enemy of the People piled its story of his DEPOTISM, NEPOTISM, & TYRANNY into a corner from which there is no logical exit; The likelihood of these paid pubic intellectuals finally admitting, Trump alone is not responsible for US gov predicaments, is nil; and "our" assets are sacrosanct. Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
Well, it takes both in a lot of cases, and then it has to get past the judiciary. But there are instances in which executive discretion can be a worry: waiving the Jones Act and declaring national emergencies being two recent and obvious examples. And then there is prosecutorial discretion. In this case the Attorney General reports to the president, but we can be comforted that most attorneys general will feel considerable constraint from the actual law. And that may or may not apply to Jeff Sessions - depending... "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
