Hoping For Trump

IF PRESIDENT TRUMP can get North Korea to give up it nuclear weapons, and create economic prosperity and intercourse with the world congratulations to him.There are reasons, however, tone doubtful about his ability or willingness to accomplish this. is it too much to hope that our American president, when in the same room with the North Korean dictator, does not address him as "little rocket man"? That would be a good start. Trump, in a nutshell, does not have a good record of getting along well with human beings, either as president, or before. In fact, his life history is littered with personal conflict, adversarial, and broken relationships. Donald Trump likes to dominate conversations,, make deals on his and only his terms, and often ends up yelling unpleasantries about people after thy have long left the room. None of this bodes well for foreign policy in general, or for dealing with North Korea in particular. When trump backed out of the Paris climate change agreement, backed out of the nuclear weapons agreement with Iran, and backed out of teh Trans Pacific Trade agreement, he angered much of the world, to his apparent pleasure. Trump seems to enjoy making enemies. Now come the tariffs, enacted with "national security" as the pretext, in typical paranoid, adversarial, Hitlerian fashion. No one would have believed that it was possible to turn Canada into an adversary; Trump is accomplishing it with remarkable proficiency. Now, all of America's closest American allies in Europe, Canada, and mexico are blamed for America's problems, which, in fact. of self inflicted. Trump's ass kissing of Putin has a twisted appearance, almost remindful of Hitler and Stalin before 1941. if Trump can get North Korea to shed its nuclear weapons, and join the world economic and cultural community, then bless him. If his/our relationship with Mr. Un goes haywire it will be time to begin describing Trump's foreign policy as an unmitigated disaster, as it nearly is now. "America First" begins to look like "America Alone", or "America Against".
