I think it was Laura Engels who had both Obama and Clinton clips when they declared triumph over NK.
The Clinton clip was strange.
He said that NK would have to get their energy from South Korea, which made it seem like it was more a punishment for SK than NK.

Trump referred to "mirror" in his steel/aluminum statement.
Mirror trade, or reciprocal trade
which makes me wonder
if it applies to other subjects as well
suppose he was referring to the democrats
as something of a "trading partner"
Thomas Friedman wrote a book on globalisation called "The World is Flat" (pictured)
about globalization of the supply chain supposedly keeping nations from waging war
with each other – they do not want to risk the economic consequences of waging war
because economies are inter-woven. This globalization theory is really just a half-baked
idea that makes nations more vulnerable to the forces of CORPORATIONS, who become
the SUBSTITUTE government in such a scheme.

Doing some research, I came upon this man:

"Political Parties: A Sociological Study of the Oligarchial Tendencies of Modern
Democracy" Paperback – September 2, 2016 (reprint of a 1911 book)
by Robert Michels
about "the iron law of oligarchy", political parties and organizations tend towards
oligarchy with only a select few in charge
one of the comments on Amazon:
"Michels was a member of a socialist movement who wondered if one could ever have
what today is called participatory democracy. The result is this wonderful book, in which
Michels discovers the "Iron Law of Oligarchy", that even in the most egalatarian
movements, elites will call most of the shots. Michels goes further than many elite
theorists who simply claim that this has always been so: he claims that elite management
is inherent to complex organizations. Whether you agree or disagree, you must read this
man and debate his ideas!

The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German sociologist
Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties.[1] It claims that rule by an elite, or
oligarchy, is inevitable as an "iron law" within any democratic organization as part of the
"tactical and technical necessities" of organization.[1]
Michels stressed several factors that underlie the Iron Law of Oligarchy. Darcy K. Leach
summarized them briefly as: "Bureaucracy happens. If bureaucracy happens, power
rises. Power corrupts."[3] Any large organization, Michels pointed out, has to create a
bureaucracy in order to maintain its efficiency as it becomes larger—many decisions
have to be made daily that cannot be made by large numbers of disorganized people.
For the organization to function effectively, centralization has to occur and power will
end up in the hands of a few. Those few—the oligarchy—will use all means necessary to
preserve and further increase their power.
The "iron law of oligarchy" states that all forms of organization, regardless of how
democratic they may be at the start, will eventually and inevitably develop oligarchic
tendencies, thus making true democracy practically and theoretically impossible,
especially in large groups and complex organizations. The relative structural fluidity in a
small-scale democracy succumbs to "social viscosity" in a large-scale organization.
According to the "iron law," democracy and large-scale organization are incompatible.

So – the answer to this "inevitability" is —
make our democracies smaller
under the umbrella and protection of the Constitutional guarantees
