Curiously last night, I woke up at an ungodly hour, and found Trump live on the BBC. Bemused, and thinking that his nonsense would soon send me drifting off back to slumber land, I decided to watch... Trumps speech was dazed abd confused, and full of contradictions. It was as if it had been written with one eye on Infowars. Long on personal attacks, bravado, wishful thinking, and at times, pure fantasy, and short on actual facts, and solid commitments. My interest was piqued when he said he would end the power of lobbying groups in Washington, I remembered Obama promising similar things back in the day. Further into his speech however, that interest turned into a full-on facepalm, when he more or less got into bed with the NRA. I guess when Trump said lobbyists, he did not mean ALL lobbyists. Then there was the economy. He noted that Obama had doubled the national debt, without admitting that half of that debt was a result of previous administrations. He made a point of highlighting the $18trn debt, but gave no answer on how he was going to tackle it himself. He also promised to fix everything wrong with Anerica, without providing anything more than the fact that he was going to do it fast. Then there was the confused stance on illegal immigrants. One second he was attacking them, next thing the camera cuts to someone holding a 'Latinos for Trump' placard. Then he highlighted the case if a three girls who had all been killed by illegal immigrants, one of which had a Mexican sounding name. I was not sure if he was denouncing illegal immigration, or making a stand against Latino on Latino crime. Far from dozing off, I was wide awake by the time he claimed that he was going to destroy ISIS.. again fast. What magic strategy does Trump have that will instantly fix the issues in the Middle East? It was was that kind of gung-ho mentality that got the world into the state that it is in right now. Trump also does not understand asymmetrical warfare. ISIS want this confrontation. It will bolster their ranks, and renew their cause. Fighting valiantly against the crusader nations, and all that. I am telling you this straight, if Trump puts troops on the ground to fight ISIS, Syria will become the morgue of the USMC.
