Hi Ray
Well at least you have let me understand why there are the sustained personal jibes on Mr Trump.We have such a similar scenario in Britain. The day the Referendum count announced Leave had won the phones were ringing off the hook, with companies all over the world wanting to do business.It was on our national news, and it nonplussed the remain faction. We were set to get going. Then Cameron resigned and the rest is extremely bad history.They have been so used to obeying the EU and there are few statesmen around.
I agree that everyone looks to America, but please don't think that Mr Trump is not popular with ordinary people. Hillary was hated and very, very dangerous.I sometimes left a comment on Mail Online and if anti Hillary it was downvoted by 100s in seconds. I know something was attached to my log in profile as it carried over to the next 2 comments, one where I wished an elderly couple a long and happy marriage. Pro Trump comments, even if the best rated just vanished.
Don't forget that we are a small country, we get more all round news here from all over the place so possibly we are a jump ahead, rather than diverted by home issues, when it comes to a foreign government planning to do something, and maybe it is easier to see where America slots into that. e.g. recent events re Turkey.I think as we have so often, and easily,travelled to so many of the key countries we relate more ?.
The Internet censoring is worrying. It is recently not possible to read the Russian newspapers online and many American sites have been unavailable due to EU regs for a while.I can no longer access a highly threatening American site I like to use...a Craft Suppliers, maybe they sell dangerous wool.
I just hope we are not all heading into engineered chaos.There is going to be one hell of a fall out from the UN resolution re Israel for a start.For the first time America has not opposed it.
