The end of Trump’s presidency

 Wow! Well it’s been a while and it’s the last few days of the Trump’s presidency and what a real eye opener it has been! Culminating in the insurrection rally two weeks ago. 

Frankly I am relieved that the social media giants started to take action by removing him from their platform. It actually helped the last few days to be normal. 

I have never followed Trump on Twitter but I couldn’t help but to regularly check what incendiary things he was tweeting out. 

What I think is super sad about the Trump’s presidency our his enablers... there where clearly people in his inner circle who encouraged and turned a blind eye to his behaviour. 

This brings me to his family.. I am honestly think one of his biggest enablers was his daughter Ivanka Trump. She is one the few people that he listened to and to me did little to rein her father in. She came across someone who enjoyed being in the corridors or power and little about her father’s behaviour.

One person I couldn’t figure out for long time was Trump’s wife Melania Trump. At first I thought she was too embarrassed to do anything but has time went on I realised she shared a lot of his opinions.

The reality is when Donald Trump is long gone the likes of Melania and Ivanka will be regularly reminded how they contributed to crazy four years. 

Neither women maybe bothered now but at some point both women will hopefully be held to account for their actions and it will be interesting to see long it takes before both are made accountable for their role in Trump’s presidency.

US Politics

Well  it has been  a while since I did any blogging! But it is good to be back to the  blogsphere.. In my absence so much appears to have happened . This  post will focus on US politics and I  literally do not know where to start.

So recently  President  Trump was impeached and acquitted, however the whole impeachment  trial was flawed as the GOP refused to have witnesses . Trumps acquittal seems to have emboldened him and by reviewing his daily twitter he now feels untouchable.

What I find sad this that the only GOP senate member to step up and find him guilty was Mitt Romney. Whilst  the  others sat probably afraid of the repercussions of voting Trump guilty. Right  now I think  politically USA is staring  into the abyss and  only  come out if their own citizens  set up and find their voices  to speak out against  Trump's behaviour.

US Politics - Donald Trump

Wow I can't quite believe I am writing this blog and you may have noticed that I have not blogged for  awhile this was probably due to the shock of watching Donald Trump win the US Presidency. As a Brit I just did not see that coming but clearly his message really resonated with rural America. It was really sad to Hillary Clinton loose and I guess her message just did not cut acrosss middle America. I have to say that at times I was frustrated with her focus on women and I think that did not particularly go well for considering 53% white American women voted for Donald Trump.

Since his inauguration President Donald Trump has continued to play to his base. I found his inauguration speech to be full of hate and quite negative and no appreciation for all the work that President Obama's hard work..Trump has come across as unhinged and with little or no knowledge of how law and politics works in the US.

These are very scary times for the US and the rest of the world! President Trulp way of getting things achieved has been through Executive Order and his most controversial Executive Order was to ban se
seven predominantly Muslim countries from travelling to America. This alone sounded ridiculous considering that none of these countries had committed any terrorist attacks against the US.

Trump is totally out of this depth and what happens next will be interesting but I can
can impeachment on the horizon as his little knowledge of how things are find will be the undoing of him and personally I can't I would like the Office of Presidency to be taken seriously and not treated like a reality show.

US election - Election Day!

Wow its been while since I blogged! However I have been closely following the US election. I have to say it is definitely the meanest elections I have ever witnessed. 

I still cannot believe that hacked emails where allowed to be part of the election cycle. The insults that Donald Trump threw at Hillary Clinton where so un presidential. 

Donald Trump regularly called her "crooked" Hilary and his supporters where equally as rude. For me the video that surfaced on Donald Trump say he would one day date a ten year old that he saw in the lift was totally disgusting. 

Hillary to me has done so well to cope the barrage of insults about her family, her health and anything else they could have thrown at her. 

Hillary is not perfect but how many people are? If all they could find wrong with her conduct was the email server she set up then to me is definitely presidential material. 

So I will be keeping my fingers (toes) crossed for Hillary to be successful tonight. To me she has more than proved that she is capable and ready for the job as President.

US election 2016


Ok I have finally gotten over the disaster of the UK General Election. As this year US election, I though it was about time I started blogging about it. 

I have to say that I am surprised that Donald Trump is actually been taking serious and could potentially be the republican candidate. 

I am also surprised that Hilary Clinton hasn't been fast tracked to the democratic nomination. 

This US election has been quite suprisein get for me as I would have thought that Jeb Bush would be more popular with the republican voters. 

I am still waiting for Donald Trump to announce this was a big joke and he had no plans of running for the presidency. However I now realise he serious and I should take his campaign seriously. 

The little I know about Donald Trump I have no idea why he would be fit to be the President of the United States. 

All I can see is that he is running on an anti Muslim ticket and that seems to have got lots of interest. 

Bernie Sanders is another potential Democratic nominee who seems to be very popular. He comes across a little old school and a bit like Ed Miliband and look how that ended up. 

I have finally tuned in and taking interest it is an important election apart of me which that Barack Obama could run again.
