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.
