"This Is WORSE Than The Roman Empire..." - Jeffrey Sachs

Jeffrey Sachs warns of a U.S. constitutional crisis over Trump's Iran war rhetoric, unchecked presidential power, and Congress's silence. In this interview, Jeffrey Sachs responds to statements he says President Donald Trump made at the United Nations General Assembly regarding Iran. Sachs argues that the American constitutional system is being undermined when a president claims the authority to determine another country's fate without meaningful congressional oversight. He explains why the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war and questions why congressional leaders have remained silent. Sachs also criticizes the financial cost of military action, the failure of political checks and balances, and what he sees as a deeper institutional crisis that goes beyond party politics. *Key Takeaways:* Jeffrey Sachs's warning about America's constitutional order.
