…or is it Trump against the world?
For example:
We need to prepare ourselves for
the following: From now on, the most powerful person on the planet, along with
his entourage made up primarily of billionaires like himself, will be regularly
stomping on that which the international community has spent decades
negotiating with effort and care.
Many hope so. That’s
why they voted for him.
Who thinks, for example, that
Trump's troupe will feel bound to the Paris Climate Agreement for the reduction
of greenhouse gases?
We can only pray that they not feel so bound.
That anybody in the White House
will still care for the protection of animals, oceans or forests?
I don’t see this in the job requirements identified in Article II.
Does anyone think he will support culture?
This is written in a Merkel-supporting German magazine?
Once it has pushed Islamic State
further into retreat…
Yes, I don’t like this one much either.
…the U.S. will withdraw as far as
possible from its role as the world's protective power.
Protective? Maybe you
haven’t heard about Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine,
Yugoslavia, Vietnam…. Ask the people there how “protective” the US has been.
This president will do everything
he can to weaken international organizations like the UN, the EU or the G-20 in
order to make space for bilateral deals…
Not thrilled about the bilateral deals part, but what’s not
to like about weakening these organizations?
The UN will need to show that it
can be a countervailing power in the civil sphere and an advocate for its
especially vulnerable members.
Oh, please, please, please
make this so. I suspect an executive
“tweet” will either defang or defund the UN within about two seconds of any
such action.

ReplyDeletethe ideological heirs of fascism are lurching about decrying "fascism" but not many, at that. If MSM reports are correct, a million persons (not individuals, mind you) internationally protested. Hell, the useful idiots and paid Kremlin operatives in the 1980s mustered far more than that in marches against placing Pershing IIs in Europe.
I think Trump likes having the world so openly against him. That way it is easy to see who his friends are.
ReplyDeleteAnd, like Gary North and Lew Rockwell say: Anyone with this much power and this many enemies can't be all bad.
We should just be handing out rope and petards.
ReplyDeletewhat are you talking about? You do know what hoist by your own petard is about? Don't you?
DeleteI'll take over the duties that Madonna promised Hillary voters if Trump bows to any foreign leader.
