A realm is governed by ordinary acts,
A battle is governed by extraordinary acts;
The world is governed by no acts at all.
How do I know?
This is how I know.
Act after act prohibits
Everything but poverty,
Weapon after weapon conquers
Everything but chaos,
Business after business provides
A craze of waste,
Law after law breeds
A multitude of thieves.
Therefore a sensible man says:
If I keep from meddling with people, they take care of
                   themselves,
If I keep from commanding people, they behave
                  themselves,
If I keep from preaching at people, they improve
                  themselves,
If I keep from imposing on people, they become
                  themselves.

  The Way of Life According to Lao Tzu

And his lust for unlimited power, Donald Trump turns republican precepts of limited government and states’ rights on their head!

Vladimir Putin plays Donald Trump with the finesse of Itzhak Perlman bowing a pawnshop fiddle.
