Well, President Trump, you’ve gone and done it again. 2018 is ending with a big downward spiral in everything political, economic and international. What’s really sad is that your narcissistic self has gotten the better part of your uneven temperament. Let’s see, your former Chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense are now gone over obvious in-fighting in the not so tranquil White House. American allies around the world are bewildered at your foreign policies, including the immediate withdrawal of American troops from Syria and Afghanistan. Your failure to condemn the leaders of Saudi Arabia for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi has brought disgrace upon the U.S. The November elections saw the Republicans loose control of the House of Representatives and numerous state legislatures. Your so-called protectionist trade practices have helped the stock exchanges head into the worst bear markets since the great recession of 2008. The American people are more divided then ever before. Now, you’ve caused the shut down of many federal departments and agencies just before Christmas, with some 300,000 civil servants going without pay for who knows how long. All over your squabble with Congress about including $5 Billion to construct a silly wall between the U.S. and Mexico, for which you had unrealistically promised during the election would be paid for by Mexico. Even members of the Republican Party are becoming frustrated with your irrational premise for a shut-down which you openly welcomed and endorsed on national television.
As we approach the start of a New Year, there appears that there is little hope for things to get any better. Your trade war with China has only just begun and we may be on the verge of another global recession. Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Japanese and everyone else will suffer as a result. I’m afraid, President Trump, that you are no King Midas. It appears that everything you touch turns to one big turd. Indeed, the best is yet to come! There are still the indictments of members of the President’s election team and the final outcome of the Mueller investigation which most likely will be the political story of 2019. There is also little doubt that the Democrat majority House will begin investigations into your behaviour and past transgressions. You may be yet facing impeachment proceedings. But don’t worry. You can always ask your good buddy, Vladimir Putin, to provide you with refuge in lovely Moscow. I hear that it’s nice at this time of the year.
