As we are all aware, the dominating event in recent months is that the
good citizens of the Divided States of America have seem unfit to elect
as president a great brain, who is loaded down with couth and charm.
This brief article was written on January 25th; by the time you read it,
he may well have done many more stupid things. "Exactly" what will
occur, we don't know, because capitalism is an unplanned, anarchic
system where sanity is proverbially told to get out of town.
Be that as it may, we can make a vague forecast of what decisions Trump
may make and what problems he will have to deal with. He may well, as
he said, abolish NAFTA and kill the proposed Trans-Pacific partnership,
which, since Canada is a big trading partner with the U.S, will cause
loss of jobs here.
Furthermore, a trade war will harm the interests of American capitalism. Will that stop our lad? Perhaps, even he isn't crazy! Or is he? We'll have to wait and see. There's been plenty of talk about the Trump-Putin mutual admiration society, but Russia is reemerging as a global super-power and economic realities must, inevitably, hit home. Didn't that old lush Winnie Churchill praise Hitler to the skies during the 1930s? Again, we'll have to wait and see. No relationship is more important to the interests of U.S capitalism than China. Yet, no country has been attacked more by Trump. Why? Only he knows that.

Trump,
recently, spoke directly to the leader of Taiwan and indicated he would
scrap the "One China Policy", if the U.S. doesn't get a better deal with
China. Challenging China over Taiwan would risk war. Just how gung-ho
is our lad? Far right political parties in Europe will probably make
election gains by propagating racism. How this will affect the U.S. we
don't know but these populist movements may lean towards him,
considering he won by playing up to the same sentiments.
Trump said, he
will scrap America's nuclear agreement with Iran. He obviously doesn't
trust Iran and who can blame him? Could this result in a nuclear war?
Who at this time can tell? But we can't rule out the possibility. If
there is one, it may be started by the North Koreans. Kim Jong Un said,
on January 1st, that soon they will be able to fire a long-range missile
capable of carrying a nuclear warhead into the U.S.- and a very happy
New Year to you, sir! Trump's response was a tweet, saying, "This won't
happen". Thanks Donny, you're so reassuring.
