rooster59 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The world according to Trump; unashamedly white, and rightBy Robert HackwillUntil now Donald Trump has got to where he is, the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, with a mixture of bluster and boasts, a simplistic formula that chimes with Americans fed up with the established parties.He has been notably policy-light, but with the nomination sewn up, Trump is now making policy pronouncements to send shivers down the spines of many.America first is his credo, an America that is rich, and great again. He wants to run the country like a company; his critics say he will run America, and the rest of the world, into the ground.Recently speaking to the AIPAC American Jewish gathering he announced a significant change in company policy were the White House to fall under Trump management.“We will move the American embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem,” he promised, to huge applause.He has declared admiration for President Vladimir Putin, and says he is ready to talk with North Korea’s Kim jong Un, while he is already squaring up to take on China.“I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him. At the same time I would put a lot of pressure on China. We have tremendous power over China. China can solve that problem with one phone call,” says Trump.Trump’s simplistic vision of the world continues into radical Islam and the war on it. While Washington and the checks and balances in the American system ensure much of this should be watered-down, on this evidence Trump could be a wrecking ball in terms of foreign policy.On Thursday he delivered the cherry on the cake, promising to build a pipeline cancelled by President Obama on environmental grounds, and to ignore yet another international treaty.“So foreign bureaucrats are going to be controlling what we’re using and what we’re doing on our land in our country? No Way. We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement.”Trump’s populism and appeal seems undamaged as yet by polls indicating women loathe him for his sexism, and that latino voters loathe him for his racism.Despite writing off these huge sections of the electorate, some of those same polls suggest he could beat Hillary Clinton. For the hitherto hostile Republican bigshots, this is all that matters now. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2016-05-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this possible? the USA owes China $1254.8 billion dollars, how does this give the USA tremendous power over China? I wonder how many US citizens know this ? or that the Total U.S. National Debt: $19,214,128,824,849.92 Who is Trump kidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you have heard the saying : If you owe the bank $1000, the bank ownes you...if you owe the bank $ 1,000,000,000 you own the bank." So who owns who here?

mopar71 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 "He has been notably policy-light, but with the nomination sewn up, Trump is now making policy pronouncements to send shivers down the spines of many." It has been almost a year since Trump declared. If voters don't know much about his policy ideas it isn't Trump's fault. The media has only itself to blame. The Trump-hating media that for months has focused on twisting things Trump has said ("he wants to ban ALL Muslims!!", "Trump hates women!!") instead of focusing on his position on issues. During the debates, instead of asking his about policies, they asked about silly, tabloid crap trying to get the candidates to fight with each other just to boost ratings. Shameful, really.

I think he is drawing on his extensive knowledge and experience as a serial bankrupt. The old saying that if you owe the bank $500 you can't sleep at night but if you owe $5,000,000 the bank manager can't sleep at night. I don't think it works in this case though!

mike324 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 China and other asian nations are giving Americans the better life, not the other way around. Americans are able to afford stuff and live a decent life due to all the cheap items produce overseas. I still don't see how other nations are taking advantage of US like Trump claims.

The 'Jewish People' is not a country and no part of Jerusalem is recognised by the international community as sovereign Israel. Is he simply playing to the Jewish gallery? Well, let's see, "Possession is nine points of the law" seems to pertain. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, at least that is what the Israelis say. Most of the Israeli government buildings are located there. True, most foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv. Trump has stated he will move the US embassy to Jerusalem, the Israelis would likely welcome that. I doubt either cares what the international community says.
