So much noise in the media both main stream and informal.
What has bothered me for a while there is no middle ground.
Where did the centre go.
Not just in USA but other western countries like OZ, UK, France, Germany and Canada.
Trump may not be everyones cup of tea but i cant imagine the chaos the democrat candidate would have caused. USA has major issues within the two party system.
Sit tight for another 34 months of Trump doing what Trump does. Maybe mid terms will slow him down,

Iran has for as long as i have been an adult been a bad actor. They were everything that is wrong with extreme Islam. Trump pulled the trigger and it looks like some progress is being made. Time will tell.
Russia/Ukraine is a major problem ongoing. No one willing to do anything to stop the invasion by Russia another bad actor
China/Taiwan still boiling up to the top. But eventually China will attack. Who wills top them?
Israel/Gaza/Westbank/Lebanon/Yemen - may just cool down now that Iran is weakened or toppled.
Cuba has been a bad actor for 6 years and no one has taken them to task. Again boiling to the top.

USA will be loath to tackle North Korea. They are on the border of China and Russia. and serve no strategic value to anyone. The only threat they pose is to themselves.

For us that live on the tip of Africa we are dealing with 60% youth unemployment/ 32% general unemployment. Out of control violent crime. close to 100 people murdered daily. All skin colours. Corruption at all levels of government has crippled 8 of the 9 provinces and all State owned utilities. Migration from the rest fo africa through our northern land border, Puts Mexico and Channel crossing in the shade.
Me I would have trump over cyril ramaphosa or what comes after him, any day of the week.

Sadly Sylvester, the corruption Trump gets up to is on a much bigger scale that what is going on here in South Africa - challenge anyone to dispute that. Where has the middle disappeared to, when the truth is told about Trump, they are accused of being fake news or threatened will having their licenses revoked because it is now illegal to speak negative, albeit the truth, about Trump. I the House of Representatives their are not permitted to say his name or they will be censured, yet he is the cause of the all the kak - disprove that.

Hopefully the Midterms will correct this.
