President Trump's remarks about looking at foreign 'dirt' and then thinking about telling the FBI was pure 'Trump'.....inanely stupid....and problematic in a number of ways. His continuous tweets are ripping this divide in America into another grand canyon. He really put a hurt on all the Republicans who choose to continue to unconditionally back him....and he definitely improved the chances of his being impeached. I tuned in to some radio talk and it is sad because no matter what Donald Trump would ever say.....they receive it as if they are employees whose primary job is to alter it and defend it at all costs. I doubt if they even for a moment actually considered that there might be a problem here.
It's another day of absurd tweets from the President of the United States. This for example...."The Trump Economy is setting records and has a long way to go....However, if anyone but me takes over in 2020 (I know the competition very well), there will be a Market Crash the likes of which has not been seen before!.... Any conservative Republican after Obama would have seen an economy similar to this. This is a man who when early on in his administration his economic advisers showed him a graph on how the national debt will implode just about the time he leaves office in 2024.....he said...."Yeah, but I won't be here." This threat was part psychological electioneering and part CYA in case the market collapses as he is being investigated. (Note: it is going to collapse....we just don't know the initial catalyst....for there are a number of lurking predators vying for that ignominious claim) His 'anyone but me' and "Trump economy" comments are just the latest sign of narcissistic personality disorder. And there was this...." 'President Trump to launch 2020 Campaign in Florida. Tuesday will be a Big Crowd and Big Day."......and rivers of tears will be shed by those who know how far we have fallen.
If you follow the problem with North Korea as one that may effect not only your own country but your own family then Anna Fifield's newly released The Great Successor...The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Comrade Kim Jong Un needs to be read by you. I won't tell you who Fifield works for because then you would yell....FAKE NEWS...and not read the book.....but I will say that she has extensive experience in covering China, Japan and the Koreas......including a dozen trips to North Korea.We finally get to see Kim Jong Un as he was educated in Europe. The author even talked to fellow students about him. We get a lot of detail on Kim murdering family members when previously we only heard a report of this or that murder. We understand much better now the Kim dynasty and how each father treated his son.....all the sons......and brothers and sisters.....and daughters that we know of....and aunts and uncles. The book follows Kim Jong Un right up until the failed summit with President Trump in Vietnam. So what do we now know. Who is this Kim Jong Un? Is he crazy. Is a war coming? It's not only Kim Jong Un and his fascination with pro basketball....it's other important family members and their equally odd fascination with Eric Clapton and guitars.....or Korean women's rock groups in short skirts. It's Disneyland....Kim style....it's high-end retail clothes in Pyongyang. Is the murderous tyrant going to give all this up......for it surely would all be gone in a war.....the palaces....all of it.....including his paradise getaway on the beach. No more fine dining.....or Hollywood movies.....if he were even to live through a war.....which he probably would not unless he escaped to China or Russia. There are no answers offered in the book....only information....a lot of information.....on what we are dealing with.
On Iran.....there was a bad movie.....heard about it but never saw it.....back in 1970 titled Suppose They Gave A War and Nobody Came. One significant problem today is.....suppose they gave a war and everybody came? Neither preparations for war with or around North Korea or in the Middle East can be done without the possibility of one following on the heels of the other....which if this did happen could very well....at the very least....lead to the need to reinstate the draft.
June 18 update: The New York Times ran an article today on Michael Savage titled....Conservative Radio Host Has Doubts About Trump. His Audience Doesn't Want To Hear It" I immediately went to the article for that's exactly what we need....a major radio host.....a major name anyway.....who actually is honest and critiques the President! Here's a Savage quote from the article...."Too many people (think) he's not a human being, he's a demigod." The jest of the article is that Savage's willingness to even say something negative about President Trump will alienate his audience. Well that may happen but on the other side.....today was the first day in quite a while that I went to Savage's web site.....and I actually listened to his podcast for the first time. And I went to his Twitter site for the first time also. His last tweet as of my writing this right now is...."Why did the New York TImes smear me?" So we'll see what that's all about. The Times quoted Ann Coulter in...."A lot of wingers are desperately hanging on to Trump as flotsam in a tsunami.....so loads of Trumpsters are beside themselves-but almost none of them will say so publicly."
