A few thoughts on Donald Trump

A few thoughts on Donald Trump

Every day there is at least one news story on Donald Trump, most are negative. Apart from the obvious that he looks and acts like a prat is he also a self-fulfilling prophesy. He creates his own negative media and then complains about the media reporting on it. It is all so unfair says Mr Trump!

I suspect both sides are lazy. The media know that if they wait Trump will “put his foot in his mouth” and they can continue to show the world what a fool he is. Mr Trump gets frustrated that the media don’t show his successes and bursts into ill conceived comment.

From down here we don’t understand most of the policies that he espouses. They are so foreign to us. He wants to make America great again, we didn’t know that they weren’t great but now he has pointed out it is beginning to look more and more like a third world country masquerading as a first world company. I wonder if they now resemble what Rome became after the Roman Empire moved to Constantinople?  Living on passed glories?

Arming teachers seems so contrary to what education should be! This policy seems to be treating the symptoms rather than dealing to the disease. What creates the environment in America to cause these horrendous events and what enables them. Why do the American public allow it? 

I am also interested in the increase in protectionism, Steel and Aluminium are the latest. After watching the cultural invasion of Coca Cola and MacDonalds over the last few decades I do appreciate the double standard. It seems it is okay to sell product around the world but you can’t sell to me without penalty! The home of the free market seems to have put up its prices. It is these sort of actions that highlight the hypocrisy of the United States. You can’t be a thought leader when you are narrow minded!

It is easy to be critical from afar but sometimes afar gives you the best view.
