Came up with a fun exercise.

I came across a term: Manifestation of All Defect. Which means: "The manifestation is the apparent condition of the structure, a component, or the materials that is caused by the construction defect, and which provides evidence of a deeper problem."

I know it's a legal term. As I'm understanding it, it means there are faulty parts in a product that make the entire product unreliable?

If I'm correct, what manifestation of all defects, will convince voters that something is wrong with the Trump Administration? It wasn't the obvious one, Trump himself. For the Latinos, it wasn't the promise of mass deportations. For the Muslims, it wasn't his obvious pro-Netanyahu stance.

So, what can we do about now? Now that he's going to become president? Will it be these crazy nominations that he's trying to get in without vetting? Is it their tough talk, like the guy who wants to cut social security with the pea brain idea to lop off everyone who has a SSN with an odd number? (Reminds me of a character written by Kafka (I think) where the judge was so disassociating from his job that he was counting the defendant's steps as he approached the bench, and if the defendant's steps landed in an even number, he was going to judge one way, and if it was an odd number, it would go the other way.)

So, what will be the defect in Trump's administration, that will finally wake up these voters?

I know several people who keep chickens in the city. It's a lot of work but the eggs are better than the farmed ones.

It's almost comical how small business owners voted for Trump, and then took money away from their employees to prepare for the tariffs.

Almost comical.
