The 11am President - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

THE President is on the job 24/7, it does not matter what time he gets to the Oval Office, there were critics of Reagan who started his job in the Oval at 9am, there is no pleasing some people.   The President has to deal with a crisis at any time, the World does not start or end with a 9-5 job for the President, Nancy Reagan used to complain that Reagan would spend hours at work at the Executive Mansion.   If this is the best the press can come up with then Trump will be a great President. 

Trump vs. TPA Part 2 - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that this move by the Trump Oval is part of a strategy to get his beloved WALL, the US in the past has taken in millions, the additional few hundred thousand should not make a difference.  In fact if the Trump Oval played it better it could be a plus, the Trump Oval should offer to make the El Salvador people citizens of the US, this would be so fair and kind, why should people have to suffer for political reasons, the US is better than that, as stated one can only hope it is part of strategy to get the Trump Wall. 

The last YEAR of OBAMA - Obama Era


Lets Get Real:

The Obama Administration when it comes to foreign policy failed when it comes to Russia, Putin outmanoeuvred President Obama when it comes to Syria and the Ukraine, he got the US to accept the word of the Syrians that they did not have WMD left after the removal of chemical weapons, also the Russians and Syrians bombed the opposition out of areas. The Trump Administration had to bomb Syria after a chemical attack.  On the Ukraine, the US did not back the Kiev Government when it was fighting the Russians, the Trump Administration after a delay decided to arm the the Ukraine.  On Iran it can be postulated that Obama appeased Iran, that was his policy from the start, he did nothing when the people of Iran demonstrated in 2009, he just wanted a nuclear deal at any cost. The Trump victory was a shock to them and the Trump Campaign.  The Trump Administration has sent the Iran nuclear deal to the US Congress, it await its final verdict this year. 

Trump vs. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This is another wrong move by President Trump when it comes to immigration, he should have done a deal with the Democrats for granting amnesty and citizenship to DACA and TPA people.   In return for granting citizenship the Democrats should have given Trump his WALL, perhaps the Trump Oval is playing HARDBALL, he wants the Democrats to come up with the idea, the political process is not nice, sometimes you have to play hardball.   The US is a melting pot, the Trump policy is without merit and will be challenged in the Courts.
