OK. I'll start:

The Politico magazine tells us that -

Most of us will remember the Trump presidency as a four
year storm of tweets, rallies, and on air rants that
ended in a mob riot and a historic 2nd impeachment
and controversy.

But we're told that there was more to the Trump presidency
than attention hogging politics, drama, and conflict.

Trump and his administration actually did succeed in
changing some of the ways Washington works.

From imposing a ban on Chinese made drones to rolling
back rules on sexual harassment, from cracking down
on robotcalls to letting states legalize marijuana.
Trump changed some key areas of federal policy
in ways that may have lasting impact well after he's
gone.

There's more at the following:

A few of the things that Australians should be concerned about well before bothering themselves with other countries and their politicians. Things that make us look pathetically weak in the eyes of China and other totalitarian countries eying us off.

. Multiculturalism instead of assimilation and respect for the dominant culture
. Mass immigration of people who hate Western values
. The climate emergency scam ruining our economy
. Swapping cheap fossil fuel for expensive unreliable windmills and solar panels
. Indulgence of race-baiters and extreme Left activists
. Obsessions with transgenderism, alphabet people, rainbow flags and pronouns
. The increasing acceptance of puberty blockers for children experiencing sexual dysphoria
. Mutilation of young bodies, often regretted at an older age
. The idiocy that anything is going to change a person’s sex
. Same sex marriage
. Spending on NDIS near to outdoing defence spending (reduced just in the last few days)

That's just the most serious short list.

cont'd :

Many Australians are following the US 2024 Presidential
election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Trump's
reality TV approach to politics makes it hard to not
watch the news. Many of us are concerned about the
consequences for Australia.

But regardless of whether it will be Trump or Biden who wins
the Presidency the party that controls the US Congress will
decide foreign policy. The President may lead, but Congress
can impede.

Under the US Constitution, Congress has considerable authority
to push back against a president. Which typically happens
when a rival party controls a chamber.

We're told that Trump has no special animosity towards
Australia, like he does Europe. Australia's AUKUS deal
should be safe as it appears to benefit US domestic workers
and the defence industry. Therefore Trump would get
push back from Congress if he tried to renege.

These are good odds that the US will fundamentally not
change its relationship with allies like Australia.
Which just may be the best news during a time of disunity
in the US.

Foreign policy is so important. It would be unwise to
concentrate only on internal politics.

Our foreign policy:

helps Australia to adjust to external economic shocks
such as financial crises or an economic slow down in
our major trading partners which affects us domestically.
Foreign policy also helps to better position the country
to invest in substantial defence, security, and foreign policy
capabilities necessary to safeguard our interests.

Having a foreign policy is how a country uses different
strategies to guide its relationships with other countries and
international relationships. This means that foreign policy
is made up of different global issues, of relationships with
other countries and it affects - even domestic politics.

Vital for us in this region - when there are so many threats.

It's not about Trump as the Lefties are trying to twist it to, it's about revenue makers vs revenue wasters & Trump is for the former, git or no git !

I will be pleased if Trumpy returns to the White House, America deserves him.

ttbn, there you are singing straight from the Lovely Pauline's songbook. Those items on your list are all things Hanson has banged on about over the years, all straight out of far right field.
