Valhalla or Wall Street? A Leader's Dilemma
Hark shield brothers and shield maidens! Ragnar Lothbrok here fresh from navigating the treacherous fjords of… well let's call it 'politics.' I hear tell of a chieftain across the great ocean one Donald Trump who speaks of… taxes! Aye even chieftains must grapple with the spoils of conquest but this Trump speaks of taxing the richest among us. As I once told King Ecbert 'Power is always dangerous. It attracts the worst and corrupts the best.' Perhaps Trump seeks to test this truth. He is thinking to tax the rich...well that is something to consider. I always preferred to raid England.
Read My Lips? More Like Read My Axe!
Trump fears the echoes of an old chieftain Bush who promised no taxes and then… lied! A broken promise is like a shattered shield – useless in battle. Trump fears the 'Radical Left Democrat Lunatics' will cry foul shouting 'Read my lips!' Bah! I say read my axe! A true leader stands by his word or faces the consequences. I've seen men fall for less. What a strange battle the USA is involved in. Not like the ones I used to fight for sure.
The Perot Predicament: A Jarl's Intervention
Trump in his writings claims another Perot felled Bush. Intrigue within intrigue! It reminds me of the squabbles amongst my own sons. Each vying for power each with their own… eccentricities. But Trump then proclaims 'Republicans should probably not do it but I'm OK if they do!!!' Is this a leader or a weathervane? Decision decision! He is now indecisive. What is wrong with him? I'd have raided Paris by now.
White House Whispers: What Does the Allfather REALLY Want?
The White House a place of much whispering. A woman named Leavitt speaks for Trump claiming he wants 'the largest tax cuts in history,' yet wouldn't mind paying 'a little bit more.' What is this madness? Is this Trump a shapeshifter a Loki in disguise? As I always said 'I believe that Odin guides me. That my path is chosen. That one day I will sit in Valhalla amongst the great heros!' But even Odin speaks with more clarity than this Trump!
Capitol Hill Chaos: Crafting a Bill Fit for the Gods (or at Least Congress)
This 'bill' they speak of...it must be a mighty weapon indeed! Trump demands tax cuts for all yet fears the deficit. It is like demanding a feast for all your warriors but having only a handful of fish to offer. These Republicans struggle like I once struggled to navigate the seas to England. 'Life is a struggle,' I always say. 'Not just in the face of death but in the face of life.'
Overtime Tips and Social Security: The Spoils of War… or Labor
Trump promises to eliminate taxes on overtime tips and Social Security. He wants to reward the workers the thralls of the modern age. A noble goal perhaps but can he deliver? He also wants to extend tax cuts to the wealthy ah...he is as unpredictable as the sea. I wonder what the Seer would say about this?

Trump is playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
