    America does not allow ‘mob rule’ or a popular vote as many think today. America’s Founding Father’s created a Constitutional Republic as we have representative voting processes.

    Higher leaders are place in such a way towards a growing trend or threat. America is and has enter a major world war and still does not have a clue, they soon will.

    Obama had a ‘at ease’ presidency and gave comfort towards the enemy and they took the bait hook line and sinker. Job well done.

    The Trump presidency gave way towards the ‘legality of action’ towards the enemy. Laws are now and have been created to support such action towards the enemy. All wars have such as a government much lead or declare its intent in this way. America has done so with certain nation states not allow to have complete access to the homeland. Trump has place the gauntlet down on the issue. Job well done.

    We have had several 2 term presidency’s in a row and the likely hood of another has the odds against such. The next president will be very anti-Muslim and very vocal of his or ‘her’ intent towards the subject. It is this ingredient that one should observe in the candidates to be Americas next leader. Such a turn in American history of such an individual and gender change in leadership would do a total ‘head game’ shift towards the enemy at this time in history.

    The Trump leadership such as the Obama leadership has been all about the long war America is engage in. America has a great ability, which it does not advertise in fighting very long generational conflicts. The 65 year Indian Wars of the west is one of them.

    All trends start or have a turning point by the same process, it is ‘sentiment or public behavior patterns’ that expose themselves before the masses or the herd. The Muslim Brotherhood having supporting the Democratic Socialist and funding them is the main event. They are completely out in the open today and are quite comfortable in the halls of our American government. It does not get better then this in preparing in terminating an enemy.

    “Israel Denies Entry to Omar and Tlaib After Trump’s Call to Block Them”, is a major event towards America intent.

    America only after a decade of a ‘great depression’ had enough hate to drop the bomb on the worlds enemy at the last 4th generational turn in the 1940’s. The PC (political correctness) movement in America is a ‘2 edge sword’ and will be use towards the enemy but 1st it must infect the masses in how it thinks and operrates, to then shift and to create the thinking in making ‘right is might’.

    Have a great weekend Rick.

    Just a little fact checking, this from a 25-nation Pew Research Center survey.

    Trump’s International Ratings Remain Low, Especially Among Key Allies

    America’s global image plummeted following the election of President Donald Trump, amid widespread opposition to his administration’s policies and a widely shared lack of confidence in his leadership. Now, as the second anniversary of Trump’s election approaches, a new 25-nation Pew Research Center survey finds that Trump’s international image remains poor, while ratings for the United States are much lower than during Barack Obama’s presidency.

    So you see, it’s not just America where he can’t pull it off, in fact confidence in Trump came in at a miserable 27%, whereas NO CONFIDENCE was at a massive 70% !!

    Even if polls mattered, which they obviously don’t, I wouldn’t trust Pew any more than I trust pollsters who predicted Hillary would win in a landslide. Barring a recession, Trump will win again in 2020 no matter what the polls say, and no matter how shrill his foes. Anyway, how can you expect polls to accurately reflect sentiment when the media/entertainment complex has worked obsessively to shame Trump’s supporters into silence?

    And who cares what other nations think? Belgium, Spain, France, Italy? Let them suck up to the Russians. It’s obvious that whether they like Trump or not, he can make them “see his point of view” and, ultimately, coalesce. This requires no coercion at all where America’s Pacific allies are concerned. Who are the 25 nations polled? I’m sure the list is laughable. Most of them have hated America since the Marshall Plan outlived its usefulness to them. RA

    “Even so, no one, not even his most ardent detractors, is laying odds that he will lose in 2020.”

    How can he lose, though? The democRats don’t have anyone! Even if they did, ya gotta ask yourself: would he or she want to be the face of the party, given all that it represents now?

    But Jinping does want to make a deal… he wants to go back to where things were. Were. Something’s changed, whether anyone likes it or not. See? Trump’s already made the deal! Just the same…

    All these rich democRats who say they want to be taxed more? They do, but what they mean is that they want the rules to go back where they were: when they could deduct huge amounts of their state tax and get a Federal refund larger than what they paid in state!

    But since no candidate worth a damn wants to be the face of that wretched party now… Can there ever be any going back?

    Right. Keep on winning, Mr. Trump!
