Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[basilio]

One good thing about Trump, is he is shaking up mediocrity, we have wallowed around going nowhere for 20 years.
The rich have got richer, the poor have got poorer, the middle class have been decimated by once in a lifetime economic shocks every 10 years.
So even if all he does is rattle the can, at least it isn't more of the same.IMO

He is certainly not more of the same. He is just a xxxxxing, disaster intent on maximising the Trump fortune as a reward for getting elected.

Ivanka went along with daddy on his first big trip and managed to get $100M from the Saudis and UAE for her women's charity.

yup. She's just your typical Mother Theresa, Eleanor Roosevelt type. Just don't judge her by the fact that she does not pay her interns with cash [only with valuable experiences] and wear dresses in the tens of thousands each.

How could Donald Trump score a very big win ? One that could move the American and world economy into a marked upward cycle ? Regain American leadership in Europe and the rest of the world ? Roll back some of the overwhelmingly negative press he is facing ?

How about endorsing the Paris CC agreement ? Just reading an article which unfolds a range of exceptional outcomes for Trump if he endorses the Paris agreement and sends the signal to investors that a low carbon economy is the next big thing.

Endorsing the Paris Agreement is Trump’s best opportunity for a big win

There is only one part of President Trump’s agenda with real opportunity for a big win, right now, and that is infrastructure. And the Paris Agreement—the strongest ever signal pointing toward transformational infrastructure investment—is the only way to mobilize the capital necessary to get to that big win.

The common misunderstanding about the Paris accord is its impact on business and investment. Opponents fret about costs and economic change, but achieving the Paris Agreement’s goals will unlock capital investment at a rate no other policy initiative can match.

Here’s why:

• Right now, an unprecedented amount of actual wealth is “sitting on the sidelines,” awaiting the next wave economy—the transformational moment of world-building investment potential.
• More than $8 trillion tied up in negative yield bonds, along with another $5 trillion in corporate cash holdings, are waiting for a go sign. All that capital is looking for reliable growth and secure returns.
• Climate-resilient investments, high-efficiency new energy technologies, and services that build value in local communities, hold far more growth potential than any old-style industrial production standards.
• The International Monetary Fund estimates that $5.1 trillion per year in direct and indirect assistance to high-carbon energy is not only a waste of public resources, but qualifies as “destructive spending” that undermines value across whole economies.
• The opportunity to move that money into the building of a new economy of sustainable prosperity open to all is what the Paris Agreement is designed to activate.

Having overseen major building projects in his business career, President Trump has said the cost benefits of energy efficiency are clear to him. Energy efficient infrastructure will not only mobilize capital and add to GDP; it will activate major new property investment opportunities, create a new kind of flexible property market, and revitalize credit and banking.

How does one develop a more disciplined and focused President Trump?

The Twitter world and the internet is falling over as speculation rages on the Dons latest , yet to be fully analysed, tweet. It says and has not been corrected or adjusted :

"Despite the constant negative press covfefe."
Analysts, computers, cryptologists, proctologists, are searching frantically(! ! ) for the meaning of this precious nugget. To date all efforts have failed. It seems the Don has outfoxed us all.
What could this all mean ? Really ?
One observation has already been made by an anonymous staff member.

The news site Axios had reported on Thursday that the president’s current device was an iPhone with only one app: Twitter.
It cited anonymous White House officials who said that limiting screen time was key to “forcing a more disciplined President Trump”, as witnessed on his overseas tour:

"In Trump’s case, it’s curtailing his time watching TV and banging out tweets on his iPhone. Trump himself has been pushing staff to give him more free time. But staff does everything it can to load up his schedule to keep him from getting worked up watching cable coverage, which often precipitates his tweets. It has worked well overseas so far."

I'm surprised he would make typos with such tiny hands.

Heard the CIA Director somewhat confirming rumours that the Donald want his national security briefing summarised in one page, preferably with lots of pictures. OK, charts.

Sometime you got to feel sorry for the guy. He only wanted to join the presidential race to promote the new season of the Apprentice and look where it got him.

Donald is fantastic fiction masquerading as fact. He's the Chauncey Gardner of the real world IMO.

I sometimes feel I am living in one of those alternate reality worlds, a simulation like the latest Doctor Who episodes if anyone is watching them.

The world doesn't seem real now that the "The Donald" is President.

Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display in this thread. He will go down as a greater President than Obama and Clinton (Bill or wannabe Hillary).

Let's spend our money fighting terrorism says President Trump, instead of putting it up against the wall on futile climate gestures. For this he incurs the full wrath of the Left.

Do the climate catastrophists understand how many coal-fired power stations China is currently building? Or how many nuclear-powered electricity plants there are in France?

No, it's more important to trawl through every sentence of Trump's Twitter account.

 

[Knobby22]

At least he is politically done what he was doing in reality e.g. cutting the EPA budget by a third.
His achievements so far include reducing medical help to the poor and reducing regulation to the banks that was put in after the Depression but previously removed by Bush Jr who then watched the banks blow themselves up within a year. I hope they are a bit smarter this time.

Now if he can only get through tariff walls for US industry and increasing isolationist policies, tax cuts to the rich while greatly increasing the national debt as planned then he will undoubtedly go down as a memorable President. I have no pity for the USA, they voted for him. I actually hope he is allowed to do everything he wants. I want the USA people to learn a harsh lesson.

Yea, it is a bit surreal. I get deep into that state once when I was watching MSNBC and the news readers was fawning over the president, how he replace the Oval office's curtain to gold, use Reagan's rug, and have two scoops of ice cream for desert. awwww, so cute, he want two scoops while everyone else at the table only get to have one.

Though it's a good thing this Trump. Might drive into the yanks that they shouldn't take their president seriously or with any respect. But then it does reinforce into any idiot that they too can become president.

His next move will be to cut down on financial support for the UN......22%...What a joke in comparison to what China and Russia pay....It will be the beginning of the end for the UN.

Yea, do that and it's going to be rebraned the UNC - the United Nation of China.

Trump is one of those rich idiot that grew up in the heydays of the United States. The days where it was honestly that shining city on the hill. He still think the US is that nation. All it has now are vast military power and a crap load of vassal states and colonies around the world.

Vassal states and colonies are only loyal and obedient once the imperial city still have the military and financial might. The moment it stuff that up and pizz its wealth away, that's the moment another power came to take its place. $100Billion a year on military bases is one great way to spend the country into oblivion.

After WW2, the US have about half the world's wealth. That figure almost immediately go down and down.

Now, US corporations own half the world's wealth. The US, maybe a quarter.

How loyal do you reckon multi-national corporations are to any one country? Know why Coca-Cola also produces Fanta for the Nazi? Just in case the Allied lost it'll still have a footing in that 1000 year Third Reich.

Look up how many multinationals are operating in China.

And Trump cannot bomb its way out of this one. China and Russia can actually fight back.

So keep this up and one day when the US say it'll quit something, the whole world could just shrug and say, alright.

China will welcome the chance to build a new U.N. building on their soil.

If Donald Trump continues to smash global co-operation through the UN, the spectre of a fundamental realignment of political power has to be on the cards. A very big part of the political process of setting up the UN after the war was cementing the power of the big 5 and the US as Chief honcho. Hence the UN being set up in New York.

When the US decides to pull out of a critical global initiative supported by 99.5% of the rest of the world, can it still be seen as an international leader ? Let's see how this plays out.

The rest of the world could not possibly support 99.5 % of the UN when the USA is providing 22% of the support.

The USA cannot withdraw completely from the UN but it can reduce the financial support by 50%.

The setting up of the United Nations after WW11 was a great idea and was to be used to prevent any further wars and to help impoverished countries, but over the past 70 years it had been infiltrated by socialist left Greens and has become so corrupt that it is now almost bankrupt......Furthermore it has not prevented further wars and has done very little for those stuck in migration camps around the world.

Australia is one of 27 nations assisting in any migration program....What are the other 180 nations doing about migration?......Bugger all!1

Donald Trumps response to ISIS terror attack in London reaffirms the character of the man who is now President of the USA. And it isn't attractive.

London terrorist attacks: Trump again embarrasses himself and US with his tweets

Washington: The stoic determination and decency of the British people and their leaders was on full display in the hours after the latest horrific terrorist rampage.

The Brits fought back, launching drinking glasses and chairs at the savages who attacked them. The police acted with lightning-fast precision, killing the three assailants within eight minutes of the emergency call. And, God bless him, a man returned to the bar where he experienced Saturday's horror - to pay his bill and tip.

Trump blasts London mayor on Twitter
US President Donald Trump has responded to the terror attacks in London by taking aim at London's mayor, political correctness and gun control.

Civilisation is not going to be driven out of Britain by three, or 300, killers.

Meanwhile, and it pains me to write this, our President acted like a clod, a heartless and dull-witted thug in sending out a series of tweets.

Russians agents hacked US voting system before election

Well that certainly gets everyone's attention. Particularly when the Liar in Chief has been so adamant that stories stating Russian involvement in the 2016 election were fake news put out to discredit his magnificent, fantastic, overwhelming victory over the infidels.

The next headline tells the full story of this evil man.

Reality Winner facing 10 years jail for leaking hacking of US voting system by Russians
This information was known to the Trump administration when the Liar in Chief dismissed the allegations of Russian interference in the election. The report was in the NSA files. And yet we only know the truth because one brave soul has spoken out.
The price of truth could be 10 years jail time under the Espionage Act. Meanwhile the Liar in Chief continues without challenge.
