All Things Trump

Okay, so Donald J. Trump is in Europe. A bit of a hit and miss affair.

Firstly, his manners. No, I don't think he needs to bow to the Queen. He is a head of state after all, he's not going to be subservient to another head of state. But his walking in front of her during an inspection of the guard? That's him being arrogant and putting himself centre stage. I'm sure he did it intentionally. The same applies to keeping the Queen waiting for 15 minutes. It's uncouth behaviour.

Then he showed his ignorance when appearing to not understand what the UK is, and that England is a separate country within the UK. This was revealed when The Sun newspaper interviewed him. It's cringe-worthy to be honest. In the interview he can be heard saying you don't hear England mentioned much these days, and when presented with an England football jersey, he remarks about it, saying something about how they do still have it. Wow, see it does still exist type of thing. A man this ignorant should not be in charge of anything. And I'm talking about even a merry-go-round.

But his call for NATO partners to ante up is correct I feel. Although the only thing is, he didn't originate the call. America has been calling for more spending from its partners for some time. Likewise the gas from Russia angle. It has long been pointed out that Russia can simply turn the gas off at any time and Germany would freeze.

But perhaps something President Trump is doing a little differently, is putting the EU and NATO together. I could be wrong, but I've never seen this done before by someone in his position. Yes, I do think they must be put alongside one another as the EU get to sell goods to the US off the back of the US paying to defend them. It's a tilted playing field in other words. The US has finally woken up.

But the real worry with President Trump is his erratic nature. That's where any defence of his actions begins to unravel. What course he sets seems to come down to how he feels when he wakes up in the morning. My concern is that the weaknesses inherent in the American governmental system are now being fully exposed. It could lead to a World War.
