I think there should be more people involved in governments that are not career politicians so that there is a view of how real people are affected. Career politians seem so far removed from normality. Blair for example was Labour yet had never a a normal job and is worth about $60m so is hardly going to have the same concerns as a family on minimum wage.
So Trump who has never had any political or governmental experience gets the top job. That is OK if you take advice from more experienced people. The people he is surrounded himself are not the people you look up to and respect. The woman that just got sacked for disagreeing withe the ban of people from those countries was sworn in on the basis of doing just that - acting as a conscience for the system. There are some truly scary people in positions of influence. It is hard to see them as doing it for anything but self gain.
Yes Trump got voted in. How many people didn't vote for Clinton expecting her to win? They should have a little bit of blame.
Wilst the media are never perfect they too should have been exposing all the lies Trump was spouting throughout the campaign. But media corporations are businesses too and their owners have political leanings. Clinton is not saintly either yet the email server thing seemed to be exaggerated and ultimately a non-event. But do the media of FBI hound any of Trumps team that are doing exactly that?
In this age there are so many sources of information that anything online can be retrieved. Trump used Twitter a lot during the campaign spouting nonsense and lies. Things that were easily proven wrong. But so many people are too lazy to check for themselves what is real and what is not. The likes of CNN and other organisations chose not to ask the hard questions during the campaign. They chose not to follow up on Trump's behaviour. Even now allegations just get ignored because there is nobody with balls to investigate them. They can be dismissed as fake like a lot of other stuff.
There are quite a few US presidents that have been less than perfect (JFK & Clinton spring to mind) but I never felt that they were inexperienced politically. Same for European leaders and politicians, most have experience that can be respected if not agreeing with their views. Trump has a niavity that is dangerous and not an asset. There is a real possibility that people do have a lot of influence over him because of information (or video
) they may have.
I hope there are people with nads to keep him and the rest of them away from the stupid stuff.
