malumbu Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Saw Trump by chance as his cavalcade came up the M11. For once something to thank Michael O'Leary for (yet another late arrival Ryanair). He didn't wave, in fact unlike our monarch I couldn't even see into his car. Lots of armoured vehicles and police outriders though.

malumbu Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Umhhh, I would judge that as quite well handled by Trump, probably one of his better interviews. Seamlessly moves from Brexit to his own election. And yes immigration was the main reason for Brexit. Generally poorly informed of course. Think there would be greater merit in showing clips of people in the UK sticking up for him (not Farage who also handles this well) but Reece Mogg......

JohnL Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Many of us have worked with people like Trump who like to cause chaos and destroy the current consensus - They are usually brought in to do a job (break down the current status quo so a new one can be set n place) then they're gone.They aren't builders.

The whole healthcare debate is sill raging and he?s embroiled in a tariff war with China. These are the actions of someone who is determined to shake things up and like a snow globe we are a long way from seeing where the dust will settle. The USA is a remarkably fractured society socially and racially, and he seems reluctant to drain the swamp as much as he promised too so this seems unlikely to change. By far the highest driver of equality is a *lack* of mistrust and bigotry, leading to a level playing field, something the USA manifestly lacks. America is far from being the land of milk and obey for all its citizens.However, pretty much everything he has done is domestic US policy and as such very much their business and not ours. Internationally he?s been a much more divisive figure and has failed to actually deliver much. His summit with Putin will be an interesting test.As far as the truth is concerned, you seem to only be on speaking terms with it when it conforms to your narrow little echo chamber, so I?m not sure I?m taking lectures from you there.

Just> one.The dangerous achievement IMHO is he has destabilised what is called recently "the rules based international system" meaning that something else can be readied to take over. This is what Change Managers do - break down the old system before establishing the new.You suspect any new system won't be good looking at history.

malumbu Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 In 1983 I went for an interview as a medical products rep. The chap posed a question - you've got the trots and take some of our product. It doesn't work.A pharmacist you are trying to sell to asks you how good the product is. What do you say?It's brilliant I say.Integrity young person, integrity. I'd never used that word before but it has stuck with me for 35 years.Trump. Integrity.
