One thing you can say for President Trump -
he'll certainly go down in history! Can he deliver on his promises? It seems hardly unlikely - But we'll have to wait and see. Fingers crossed that his attitude of "Is it for sale?" won't have a devastating effect on the rest of us. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 22 January 2017 4:10:26 PM

Hi Foxy
Trump's shenanigans may easily be the bread & butter subject for http://gentleseas.blogspot.com.au/ for the next 4 years. He is at heart an attention getting entertainer. By adding "President" to his list of characters, he has a guaranteed audience of 340 million/week in the US alone. Add 4 Billion non-Americans. In our region maybe he'll sell Tasmania and NZ to the Chinese running out of Lebensraum and farmland. Pete Posted by plantagenet, Sunday, 22 January 2017 4:36:45 PM

Hello Pete,
Interesting times ahead that's for sure. However, I hope and pray that Congress does not allow him a free hand - especially as far as his obligations to American allies are concerned. Also I am concerned about Mr Putin's interest in his neighbours namely Ukraine and the Baltic States. Trump's admiration for Putin is a worry. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 22 January 2017 6:51:45 PM

This was written before his inauguration. Now, after a week in office would this author stick by his assessment?

Definitely sticking by.
Trump has the good sense to back away from a goodly part of his more unsustainable positions. This is after Trump's well chosen Cabinet persuades him to the sensible. Its those who don't like a white man* running America who cannot accept Trump. * Not screeching Hillary or apologetic Obama the Moor. Posted by plantagenet, Monday, 30 January 2017 1:08:03 PM

and all his moribund, as thick as two planks, believers?
You mean the deplorables do you ?
