Izzy Posted 6 June 2019 Share Posted 6 June 2019 I reckon the bottom line with Trump is that he just doesn't give a shit about the rest of the world. He's just cba to educate himself which is why he keeps contradicting himself and looking a twat. Even the Irish PM had to defend him yesterday when Trump talked about the Southern/Northern Ireland 'wall' by saying there were over 200 major countries in the world and it was unrealistic for Trump to know everything about all of them. Maybe our expectations of him are just too high. We see him as the leader of the free world etc. but he's really just the POTUS and maybe the domestic US agenda is his only focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite plausible, but if it is the case then it isn't good enough. The US is the most powerful economic and miltary force in the world by some distance, and the way it does things does shape events around the world. As such, any leader of a nation that powerful really ought to understand the effect the decisions they make and the things they say have in other places as well as a purely domestic sphere.

Oh I agree, I’m certainly not defending him. I also wonder if those who voted for him give much of a shit about the rest of the world either. My sense is they voted for him to ‘make America great’ again rather than his interest or expertise on foreign matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's also an extreme probability, and glad you agree it's an explanation rather than an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he was just being diplomatic. At the very least Trump should have appraised himself of the politics of the country he was visiting.

Or you’d think at the very least his expert advisers would bring him up to speed. Maybe they do and maybe he just doesn’t listen or take it in. I can’t work out of its laziness, denial, lack of intelligence or all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sense is they voted for him to ‘make America great’ again rather than his interest or expertise on foreign matters. Generalizations about a large share of the population are, I feel, misguided. I and many of my fellow citizens care very much for the rest of the world. I voted for Trump for many reasons. https://dedona.wordpress.com/2016/11/10/donald-trump-and-the-politics-of-resentment-john-michael-greer/ it takes a some time to read but if your interested is the best explanation for the Trump presidency. I voted because of it. This article on the other hand shows exactly the kind of crap Trump is dealing with in the government and media. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2019/06/odd-nyt-correction-exculpates-british-government-and-cia-from-manipulating-trump-over-skripal-novich.html#more That said. I still think Trump's a scum bag. But it's complicated and changes, day to week, speech to twitter. As the saying goes "I'm from Missouri. Show me." Crazy but I think the US and the UK have more in common than most people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough, harassing and threatening the relatives of children who died in mass shootings (though I know that's not all they got up to) was evidently an awful lot of fun.

I love Alex Jones, but not for his content, but for the way he managed to upset the Young Turks in particular. He's just so good at ruffling feathers. Look at his face - he loves it.
