“Plainly millions support Donald Trump. That’s how he got elected.”
Indeed they do and it is my view that not only will he last his first term but he will be re-elected and serve a second.
Many Americans (and, for that matter, people in other nations) are fed up with having all the major issues about which they are concerned kicked into the long grass by politicians who are terrified of making decisions lest they might upset a few people. They are tired of endless “inquiries”, “reviews” and “in-depth studies” which are pseudonyms for prevarication and dithering so that the decisions can be left until the present incumbent has sailed off into the sunset with a wheelbarrow full of dosh. More and more issues are failing to be addressed because career politicians care more for their own careers than they do for the people they have been elected to serve. In one respect at least Mr Trump is like Mrs Thatcher. You may not agree with what he does, but in the main he has set out his stall and does what he says he will do.
The constant attacks on Mr Trump (for which it has to be said there is ample ammunition) stem from the fact that he is doing things which some people don’t like and they’d prefer “one of their own” was in office. That’s the thing with democracy – you don’t always get what you want.
