Reactions to Trump are mostly over-blown and unhelpful : Comments

By Mal Fletcher, published 1/3/2017

The reaction to President Donald Trump's first weeks in power says more about us than it might about him.

The reactions to Trump have been childish and demonstrative of the fact that the evil Left are shockingly bad losers, too stupid to realise that decent, normal people are fed up to the back teeth with their rantings and ravings, not to mention their desire to control people they have nothing but contempt for.

Sorry Mal, but I think this air brushed article that tries to claim Trump as a latter day Mother Teresa, says much more about you and your very second rate penmanship, than any perfectly understandable reaction to Mr Trump and a patently purloined Presidential election?

Yeah, its over blown at this stage, he hasn't even done nothing anyway. Could be more about the fact that 6 multinationals control 90% of the media and they might worry that globalisation will change under Trump in favour of craftsmen and women.

I don't know whether to be terrified about what the ramshackle Trump circus troupe might do next (or try to do), or simply sit back and enjoy the comedy of it all.

One inevitable effect of bad policy-making - often even of good policy-making - is its unintended consequences, which in this case could be catastrophic, certainly for America. For example, Trump's sucking-up to Putin AND attacks on Chinese economic policy could drive China, Japan, South Korea and Australia into a much tighter relationship, perhaps with Europe as well - a sort of Transcontinental Trade partnership excluding the US.

And does anybody really think that jobs will come back to the US if Trump imposes tariffs on goods from China (and other producers) including those produced by US companies ? That firms won't simply re-locate to countries without the tariffs ? Sure, jobs will 'come back' to the US, but they won't be the jobs which 'left': what enterprise won't be using more robots etc., i.e. totally different production techniques ? (Why do I always think of the last dung-beetles hanging around the arse of the last dying Diprotodon, vainly waiting ?)

So let's see: he's pissed off most of Europe, China, all of the rest of the Americas, bungle a raid in Yemen, threatened Iran - and kept sucking up to Putin.

He's threatened half the US population to make their health care less affordable. He's pissed off most non-whites in the US itself and put the wind up its migrants and refugees. He's alienated almost all of the press, not just in the US but around the world.

He hasn't even begun to Drain the Swamp, and probably won't. He may be facing opposition from some of his own appointees over who they can work with. He may have to face a multitude of legal charges over the links between his financial interests (and those of his appointees), his family and mega-insider trading.

All in barely six weeks. Onya, Donald !

yep group think has almost destroyed Italy. No reporting of the 100000 or so protesting against UN policy of forced illegal immigration. Also group think and deceit conned the gullible with man made gw nonsense. Trump is a breath of fresh air even know the facist are still throwing tantrums and causing violence usually funded by Soros and his sick borderless and immoral agenda.
