Trump thinks he's "King of the World" - and it makes for many more problems for America

He'll never figure out the collective powers of the world... are talking with each other... and they are not going to sit idle while he acts like he's King Shit!!!.... America just as well get ready for the rest of other world nations to build bonds that won't have such reliance on America.

They (Foreign Nations) know we (America) is a crumbling nations, with over $20 trillion and rising debt, they know our infrastructure if falling apart, and they've seen the bankrupt rural town an bankrupt cities and they know we don't have the industry to sustain ourselves
They know we can't invest in our schools system, and we have greedy people who can't respect the need for Universal Health Care and To gain some controls over the Hospital Systems and Pharmaceuticals. They watch as American Greed Continues to Bring Down The Nation.

American now is reliant on Banking, Insurance, Advertising and Tech Companies driven by social media, which is connected at the hip with advertising.... and a stock market that can't be trusted, because everything is over inflated, and the game of derivatives has become something that is at the point of being unbearable, because its a fragile game, that fractionalizes everything in America.

We can't fund and improve our infrastructure and we have let our public schools fall into chaotic challenges, and we just gave the wealthy a 1.5 Trillion Tax Give Away. Iraq and Afghanistan has proven we can't win a war, which was really proven back in Vietnam.
We might have Nukes, but so does many other countries. They also know, the "American White Male" will sell anything for short term profit for himself, because he has no sense of Industrial Legacy nor its value unto the stability of a this nation. OPEC is strong enough it does not need to bow to American Drama Aggression, and China and Much of Asian know they can produce, market and sell anything they need to support themselves.

Trump is trying to cling to a Post World War II ideal, when that has long since changed, as is the domestic system where there is to be no return to Jim Crow.

If China stopped right now, their buying of American Securities, Inflation in America would skyrocket, and interest rates would be beyond the reach of the average America to borrow and buy on Credit.

These Foreign Nations are not stupid, "every nation now has computers" and that means "information"!!!

Facebook has shown how American Greed abuses it people, selling their personal data to any bidder; its a devastation that it can't unwind all the damage it has done in giving people info away for the sake of its own profit.

The selling to Billion Dollar Social Media Apps, will meet much challenge, when people get tired of their life history and every act they do in living being sold to advertisers. this Billion Dollar value is based solely on the projected benefit it sees in selling advertising access unto the populace.

IF AND WHEN the world figures out how to adopt a New Lead Reserve Currency... we will find out the truth of what arrogance can and will bring. As well we will see what unbridled greed does in bringing down nations. (Sadly, our wealthy are not different from the Despot's who loot countries from within their governance system, we have now the wealthy using congressional approvals to loot the nation, and we sanction every means to support the continuance of hiding money offshore; and now we have allowed the taxation on the wealthy, to have no mandate to invest in America nor the American system or to invest in the American people.

The world is not waiting on us, not on Climate Change, Not on Tech Development, and Not on how they build their global cooperative agreements. The world has watched the mass of right wing society fall for this Trump madness, and they watch as the Democrats allowed Republican not only to take Congress, but to Take the Whitehouse, even during a time it had a Democratic President who restored the economy and set out programs to help "the people", still they allowed the Republican to take congress, and in doing so, deny even the rule of law to fill a supreme court vacancy. The impact of such tells the world of nations many things, because the world of nations see the results. Those results showed them that many who voted for Obama, turned tails when he fixed the economy and voted for the same Republican who crashed the economy. They watch as the Republican have attacked every element of government, and now do a full press attack on our justice system, and seek to infer the powers of a dictator upon Trump, with sick madness of speaking of pardoning himself, as well as supporting his incessant attack on every system that supports the independence of this nation.

This does not send a good message around the world about America.

They (the world nations and of people) watch the NEWS spin every utterance into a 3 day drama game, and by the time the 3 day spin game is over, they've (Liberal Pundits) caved in to what ever the Republicans have done, and its hidden behind the next Republican Utterance that spins for 3 days and the cycle has been going on since Republican Took over congress during the Obama Administration.

They watched Americans not stand behind the Diplomacy that Obama worked hard to rebuild, and they allowed Republican to come back in and damage every element of Diplomacy Obama rebuilt. Until now we don't even have Ambassadors in all the locations we need them, and the have a foolish madness in the office of the Secretary of State.
We are hanging on by the Foreign Nations who want to see us be what we once were, but everyday, they are finding out more and more that it may likely not happen. We can be certain they have contingency plans.....

The things often time the average person ignores because they buy into thinking we are the greatest in everything, yet, unaware we can't even cover ourselves with clothing, except from imports, we can't even cover our feet without foreign imports, and now... we can't and don't even make the appliances in our home, or the cell phones we are obsessed with.

Truth is Real.... its not about whats in the Department Stores, its more about "where did the stuff come from that is in the Department Stores. That's a story we ignore... because we get overly excited about the imagery of the stuff in the stores.

The company known today as Burger King itself began as a franchise; the predecessor of the modern company was founded in 1953 in Jacksonville, Florida, as Insta-Burger King.
Grand Metropolitan plc was a leisure, manufacturing and property conglomerate headquartered in England. Wikipedia. Headquarters: London, United Kingdom

Circle K is an international chain of convenience stores, founded in 1951 in El Paso, Texas, United States. is now owned and operated by the Canada-based Alimentation Couche-Tard.
7-Eleven is a Japanese-owned American international chain of convenience stores


Most people have no idea of such things.... If they did, they'd understand how weak America has become, to be relegated to the likes of being a "supermarket system" for Foreign Goods.

Trump will NEVER stop advocating for Russia, and he will continue to do all he can to strengthen Russian's Global Position, and Much of its Agenda. The Race Minded Trump, only see's "Russia as being a lot of white people", and "oligarach's with a lot of money"... To him, its just like the Jim Crow ideals he was raised within. He's already make it clearn he has no concern or interest in any nation with dark skinned people, and he detest any nation that embraces broad diversity, we see that with his attitudes toward Germany and Western Allied European Nations, he is contention with Canada because Canada also embraces Diversity.

They truly need dialog that paints perspectives to help them see and understand the issues of great challenge being faced by America, its Governance, its systems and its economics.

Their future is at great disadvantage and made more challenging by the days. All the Republican Chatter is not just Chatter, it is examples of Republican not just Controlling the Public Narrative, they are Dominating it. In doing so, they continue to push policy, while distractions of drama and spin keeps the mass of the public off on tangents, as if playing a game of "wack a mole" at a County Fair, and "we" don't win the Teddy Bear !!!!

On a daily basis, people are going about their daily lives with the same ole premise of ideal, that "everything is going to be allright"... when truth and fact is; the nation's being changed and driven to the mentality and ideals of the disasterous past it once had, where the fiction and fantasy delusion of media depicted confabulation, make them think the past was better. When truth is American's Past was of many insults to the principles and premise of Democracy. It was a hell on earth for minorities and dire poor whites. The set up happening today, is seeking to recreate as much of that hell as possible.
Not to the point of nation wide slavery in the terms of what it was in the past. BUT.. a new form of slavery that turn the young into "indentured servants" by the label of "Apprentices".
Many have absolutely no concept or thoughts or ideals of what a tragedy that is.

College has been made unaffordable to the masses, the same as it was during the era of segregation, it invokes that same challenge upon dire poor whites and minorities in this day and age. The elite schools are so far out of reach, and the fictional claim of Median Income, is not a reality for a mass of the poor white and poor minorities in America, without two peoples combined income and still they fall short of the median income for a single well to do white male in America.

People often don't invest their minds to factor these things, some are caught in daily struggle to survive, and make they incessant "debt payments" for the life they have built on "credit". The poor can no longer go to even things like a Theme Park, because its priced out of their range, because they are not the desired crowds these places seek to attract.

Even something as simple as McDonald's meals are more costly than the average poor person earn for one hour's labor.

The average poor family cannot afford the cost of taking the family out to eat and to a movie, its expense is greater than their income and credit debt payments can afford to meet.

We simply have not awakened to the reality, but what keeps us perpetually asleep, it the use of "credit debt"... This is why banks earn $BILLIONS every 3 months, because the average America Carries a Debt Load, they cannot pay off, and the Average student who manages to get in a University to gain access to a "Get a Job Certificate" (called a Degree)... exit with a debt load that inhibits their life for the next decade and in some cases for the next 2 or more decades.

People are strapped with vehicle loans, they can never pay off, if they do manages to do so, the units they purchased has a short life cycle and a steep devaluation. They result to have a vehicle that is worth 1/10th of what they paid for it, and over time, they learn the real truths of what is a declining investment. They must then go and repeat the cycle.

We need a society that is far different from the past, for in the past, America lived without considering they had to Think, they relied on the Politicians to make the decisions that impact their lives. Only now to find out, the politicians of today are made up of "wealthy peoples' kids" and "men of high net worth"... and they buy and sell themselves for even more access to wealth as the base premise of their term in office. They fight to stay there, because it means even more wealth, the longer they have access to sell out the people and diminish the nation in doing so. Yet, we have not figured it out. They entertain the people with "Drama Games" and call it Campaigning, but its nothing more than "Drama Spins" which result to put in Office the people who sell the most Advertisements via their Commercial Advertised Drama Spins.

We are gullible and become willing participants, never knowing the difference. Because we don't give enough time and effort to think in terms of "Nation and National Value, and Societal Equality and Economic Equilibrium. We are still groomed in the mindset to "resent the successful economic equality among each other".

It may take us 25 yrs before a new society that is educated in "thinking and thinking in universal constructive terms" of what is the equality and economic equilibrium benefit to people and this nation. It may not happen, if we don't figure out how to "reform educations" and do so with "Ethic's" as a foundational premise.

We have challenges that extend far beyond the generalized attention span of the people. No one has the patience to read, and if they don't have the patience to read, they also don't have the patience to invest in thinking. Because reading should always inspire one's thinking. People now complain about anything over three lines of text.

It is such a costly deficit to what America can become and what it can be.

Trump is going to plunge the world into another Great Depression.

Check the history books to see what horrors were brought forth from the original Great Depression and be afraid because Trump is doing everything in his power to make it happen again.
