What do we need Trump for, old boy?
Not Lacanian, is he?
The political class in the West everywhere needs a massive digital disruption from the people. And Trump’s Election Will Be Biggest digital disruption (ie ‘F*ck You’) in Human History.
But the people don't want Trump. They say so. In every poll - trustworthiness, likability, honesty, etc, etc, etc, they give him the digital disruption.
But I'm still curious. What do we need Trump for?
What do you think he would do that we need?
He would be a circuit breaker. With Trump as president we would finally break from the Clinton/Bush/O'bama complecency of 'it cannot be done'.
America returning to its can-do nature, the so called 'free world' would also find its long lost cultural confidence. Wilders, Le Pen, AfD would be swept into power, the push-back against jihad, a la 'shores of Tripoli' would be reprised and China would collapse like Japan did in the 1990s - and not a moment too soon.
Americans do not want their jobs to go to low labour cost third world countries UNLESS they can get another, better paid job. So if globalisation means the depression of wages in America and the massive trade surplus of China, they do not want it. And they re right not wanting it.
American companies ditching their workforce, moving to Mexico and then bringing back good tariff free is nor right. It is bad, nasty, corporate citizenship.
Letting in untold millions of illegal immigrants is not right. It is against the law an Trump would imply enforce the law. You can't fault that.
Japan, Europe, Korea should pay a lot more for the cost of their own defence and should not simply let the American taxpayer pick up most of the tab.
Tax- if high tax means lower productivity, less participation the lower it.
Etc, etc.
What the world doesn't need is more of the same we have had with O'bama, the Bushes, Clinton.
The world needs to review its path from 1989
and take the other route because the one we have been on is leading to decline, decadence, degradation and
