When Nations Are Plagued by Foolish Leaders: The Democratic Party as a Case Study

By Teddy Awad
In recent years, the United States has witnessed a growing wave of internal political tension, reflected in erratic economic policies and questionable institutional interference. One of the most prominent manifestations of this trend is the Democratic Party’s use of its influence within the federal judiciary to obstruct the policies of elected President Donald Trump—particularly those aimed at restructuring foreign trade and imposing tariffs on imported goods.

Political Interference in Economic Policy

Trump’s efforts to impose tariffs were designed to protect American industries and reduce the chronic trade deficit with countries like China, Mexico, and Germany. However, these measures faced fierce opposition from left-wing factions aligned with the Democratic Party, under the pretext of protecting the American consumer. In reality, their opposition was not rooted in sound economic reasoning but rather in a political agenda aimed at sabotaging Trump’s economic program ahead of the 2024 elections.

Is the U.S. Economy on the Brink of Bankruptcy?

The cost of servicing the U.S. national debt (i.e., annual interest payments on federal debt) has now surpassed $1.1 trillion per year—a figure comparable to the combined military budgets of several nations. This number is expected to rise as interest rates remain high and public spending continues to grow.

Today, the U.S. economy faces a three-pronged crisis:

A growing federal budget deficit (over $1.5 trillion in 2024).

Persistent, though disguised, inflation despite efforts by the Federal Reserve to contain it.

A relative decline in industrial output, due to increasing dependence on cheap imports.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party’s leftist elite insists on expanding public spending on welfare programs and foreign aid, while avoiding serious reforms like cutting expenditures or imposing protective tariffs—effectively becoming partners in dismantling the country’s economic foundations.

A Global Leftist Conspiracy?

The crisis cannot be viewed in isolation from broader global trends. Under slogans of social justice and environmental responsibility, the global liberal left has been pushing an economic model that thrives on unchecked globalization, weakens local industries, and floods markets with cheap goods from China and Asia. In the U.S., the Democratic Party is at the forefront of this agenda.

The Real Threat Isn’t China — It’s Washington

Much of the American media focuses on the “Chinese threat,” while ignoring the greater threat from within. The political elite—particularly within the Democratic Party—continues to adopt economic policies that encourage more borrowing, less productivity, and higher taxes on producing sectors, precisely when the nation needs a bold reversal to rebuild its industrial and financial independence.

Conclusion:

China may be a fierce competitor, but America’s potential downfall will not come from Beijing—it will come from Washington, if the reins of power remain in the hands of a small group of ideological and economically reckless leftists. Like many nations before it, the United States may soon pay a steep price for leaders who prioritize slogans over sound economic policy, and ideology over facts.
