  1. There is a clear fear and submissiveness to the dear leader a la Putin. How far Trump tries to take it remains to be seen .. but the fact that no one, or few, on his side speak about his crypto coin, the plane, the bypassing of laws on aspects of immigration, etc , doesn't auger well.

    But as of now he is no where near the Putin level of domination over his fellow men.

    Not sure he's got the wherewithal or smarts or focus to pull it off.

    They aren't studying, they're using it as a route to gain US citizenship.

    Pay the university a fee, get a VISA, then graduate and get US citizenship.

    Google told me:

    27 per cent of students at Harvard are foreign students.

    59 per cent of foreign students leave the USA after studies.

    To stay they need to work under specific conditions and then apparently need a business to sponsor them.

    They must of course be studying if they want to graduate. Opportunities to stay are limited - an employee would only sponsor you surely if you are highly valuable to them. 

    Not sure if this is relevant though.

    Did you take issue with Joe Biden's applying tariffs? 

    Tariffs can play a role of course as I said but you have to look at the circumstances , the outcomes - I have no information to say Biden used them corruptly .. what I can say is there is a well documented history of corruption with tariffs and Trumps actions to date don't give me confidence his aims are purely altruistic .. 

    The crypto alone is bizarre - I think one day all people may wake up .. even the Trump fans and say .. hey that was a step too far

    What does this even mean.   Lets talk about it. 

    Well tariffs are well known as being a quick and easy way to corruption. Look at countries fast tracking things Trump wants

    There's the plane.

    There's the crypto with many overseas investors who are now getting one on one  meetings based on their investment which has made him  huge gains 

    There's the family following dad around the middle east following up on business deals 

    I mean jeez Mike are you happy with all this?

    Why ?
    Thats what got us in this mess.

    Where I come from people expect the truth and are thick skinned enough to not get their feelings hurt. I would have zero respect for Trump had he not called him out.

    But it's a bit selective is the point. White farmers at threat. Shut down the meeting and show some likely biased video - biased as it is a fairly contentious argument he is making. But visiting rich countries or talking to Putin - human rights issues - no need to discuss. Come on - be honest - have I got a point.

    I will the first to admit that I am only a half-a** armchair psychologist hack job -- at best. 

     

    But why is it that these conversations keep going around in circles and never get resolved?

     

    If we were all logical creatures, we would analyze the facts and come to some sort of agreement on our perception of the world around us.

     

    What you describe is merely YOUR perception. 

    But millions of people have a completely different perception of reality. Millions of people do not see him as a dictator. 

     

    Is Aldous Huxley retired in Thailand? Who can we ask to find out why people's perceptions are so different?

    Aspects of the media and entertainment  I watch such as Washington Week with the Atlantic, certain newspapers often considered by the right to be beyond the pale leftist,  and say Bill Maher gave Trump some kudos for doing his own thing, not being a war monger, and trying new ways to find solutions in trouble spots around the world. The sucking up to the oil rich countries , the blatant self interest and corruption, the potential that he is being incredibly naive and misjudging the situation was addressed but there was a definitely a change in giving him some sort of credit. So find some less extreme media is a good start I think.

    Moody’s lost all credibility during the GFC.

     

     

    True - one would hope they've upped there game - but I don't hear them described as partisan as some suggest -  even if one party in their organisation has somewhat of a political background. Their own statement indicates it is a long term problem so now lets see Trump the great fixer fix it. Or not.
