There was an hilarious bit on the local news (Ottawa, Canada)) last night about how Canada’s trade surplus with the USA was positive for the 2nd quarter in 20 years (or something, I don't have the details correct about the timing), and Trump was quoted as saying that he wasn’t happy with that because it made the USA look weak.
That’s not even remotely coherent.
I wondered something about the so-called Muslim travel ban. Shouldn't he have banned travel from Saudi Arabia, since that's where the 9/11 terrorists were from? Instead, he seems to want to pick a fight with Iran, who is Saudi's enemy. Needed a new enemy? Oceania not good enough anymore?
From what I've read, the USA has over 700 military bases around the world in over 120 countries. Lots of american citizens are armed, and yet to listen to the rhetoric, here and elsewhere, I get the impression of a country in constant debilitating fear of something or other? I don't get it, what are you so afraid of? And what makes you think that a real estate salesman can protect you?
The one thing that I would be the most concerned with if I was a US resident, is his reluctance to put his businesses into a blind trust or to reveal his taxes. Be interesting when the first welder in Wisconsin loses his job to some company overseas because of some back-handed sweetheart deal that enriches one of Trump's subsidiaries or buddies. There is a good reason why transparency in their financial affairs is required of politicians. The opposite of that is a banana republic. I understand that people pick sides in a tribal war, but isn't this going a little far?
