Trump goes on.
Following the various posts on the subject of Donald Trump it seems amazing that he is still not only in position but ready to stand for re-election later this year. And it looks as though he might just get in again. I have the Fox News app on my iPad and every day he seems to be in trouble of some sort. And yet on he goes...on some of my cruises I have spent a lot of time with Americans whose views on their president are uniformly bad. So how has he decided to stand for re-election? Has he any idea of how he is viewed in his own country as well as in the rest of the world. I suspect his luck started when he was opposed by a woman . Nancy Pelosi is a congresswoman of some stature and in fact is the speaker of the House of Representatives. But this doesn’t seem to have done her much good in her wish to become president. Today we are told that Mr Trump asked for help in getting re-elected from the leader of the Chinese. Whether this is true or not is unclear...but it would surprise no one I imagine.... There must be better candidates available but on he goes...supported by most Republicans it seems. As we approach the date for the election in the Autumn it should get very interesting as we see the contest being played out in public. Well it won’t be dull! And it will make a change from Boris.

This is a case of sacking Mr Bolton his former Defence Secretary, who has had his revenge by releasing a "Warts and All" book.
But previous bad publicity about his character before the last election was ignored by the electorate who put him in power. Ongoing whispers that he is profiting from his companies, lending his weight as President to their activities, when he has supposedly relinquished all responsibility for them is rumbling on. He has turned off many of the Evangelical Christians, but seems to still have huge support in the more rural states. We shall see.
