[kj] A Year of Trump

[Jim Harper]

I don't think anyone can possibly believe that the world isn't in a much worse situation than it was last year. My Japanese in-laws  were initially worried that Trump wouldn't be interested in helping to defend Japan, but now they're petrified that he's dragging them into a war with North Korea and enabling their own whackjobs at the same time.

His obvious stupidity, utter naivete, incompetence and personal corruption are given daily proof, but few people seem to notice. I never thought I would yearn for the glory days of Dubya et al.  It's hard to imagine how the situation could be even remotely worse including under a hypothetical Hilary Clinton presidency. Whatever horrendous flaws she may have had, saying at this juncture "Well, Hilary would have been worse!" is nothing short of ridiculous.

Jim.

 To be honest, I thought he was a
 clown who would be out after 100 days
 
 
 But I am amazed that the
 American people haven’t reacted stronger than they have.
 Just shows that your system is so corrupt that all this shit
 can fly about and no one seems capable of doing anything
 about it. The Russian thing alone is horrendous. 
 
 
 But his
 ineptitude as a leader is shocking. And your system allows
 him to carry on. The present of the USA tweets all his filth
 and hate and yet nothing can be done. But park your car
 wrong and you go to jail!!!!
 
 
 He has truly made the world a
 more dangerous place and it is horrifying what he is doing
 and getting away with. 
 
 He
 is antagonising the Palestinians by shifting the embassy to
 Jerusalem and this will only inflame the issue with the
 radicals (they ain’t Muslims. They’re cunts)
 
 Everything he does is vile.
 
 
 Chop his thumbs off to
 stop the tweets and keep going until all the other things
 have been sorted.

 Also, curious that no one in Camp Killing Joke has made any

 into as much at his recent appearance?
