The naivity of Donald Trump

This is what Donald Trump said about the defence of its allies and his intention to make them pay for US protection.

‘On September 2, 1987, Trump published full-page
advertisements in The New York Times, The Washington Post and
The Boston Globe that were billed as an "open letter from
Donald J. Trump".

     "Make Japan, Saudi Arabia, and others pay for the
protection we extend as allies," he said in the advertisements,
which cost him a total of US$94,801. He said the US should
"'tax' these wealthy nations" and allow the US economy to grow
by relieving itself of "the cost of defending those who can
easily afford to pay us for the defence of their freedom".’

The big question or big deception is that do these countries need the Americans to defend them? Saudi Arabia is the most powerful country in the Middle East with the most modern military weapons money can buy. Japan was the world’s top military nation, conquered the whole of Asia and nearly conquered the USA. Do the Japanese need the Americans to protect them and to protect them from who? Which country in Asia wants to conquer Japan or is able to conquer Japan or has the intention to conquer Japan?

The hype about North Korea is purely an American red herring. The North Koreans would have problems dealing with South Korea let alone thinking of attacking Japan and getting away with it. The tension or threats of war in Asia is an American creation, an American myth created to force Asian countries to embark on military expenditure, to buy American weapons to fatten American coffers. Without the Americans inciting and raising tension, Asia is peaceful and does not need to keep buying expensive weapons to protect against an imaginary enemy created for them by the Americans. The threat to peace in Asia is actually Japan, that the Americans have supported its remilitarization. Japan is the threat, not the victim.

Trump can keep all the American soldiers and weapons back home and no one would miss them except one or two little puny countries. Donald is still so innocent about the American conspiracy to force Asian countries to spend extravagantly on unnecessary military weapons, to buy weapons from the Americans. The war merchants and war industry will murder him for that.

Trump is ‘trumping’ up more contentious issues and is attacking China on all front as if he is the only one that is holding all the cards and China has nothing to play with, that China does not know what to do or how to hit back at Trump. China building military fortresses in the South China Sea? I think he would faint if he sees the American fortresses in Diego Garcia, Guam, the Marshall Islands and Okinawa. He has no imagination or clue of what a fortress is all about. And China is lost, China is hapless, does not know how to respond, how to deal with Trump,  and waiting to be knocked the daylight out of them.

 

To all those in the western camp, they could only look at the issue from only one perspective, the superiority of the West perspective, that they can do anything they want and China is at their becks and calls. If things were so simple, then the Americans would have swallowed up China long ago. If things were so simple, ISIS would still be running wild in the Middle East and all the Arab countries would be on fire. If things were so simple, the South China Sea would have flared up into a full blown battle field with silly puny American cronies fighting China.

If things were so simple, the Americans would not be owing trillions to China and the rest of the world. If things were so simple, they would not need to vote for Trump, the best of the worse presidential candidates they ever had in American history. And how could such a poor quality candidate yesterday becomes a savior of the American dream overnight? He is now the Superman, the American hero from the comic books.  It is good to live in a lie, that Trump has all the solutions to all the American problems and he would dictate to China and to the rest of the world what he wants, take it or leave it. China and the rest of the world would be on their knees begging for mercy?

Keep living with the American fantasies, that the rest of the world is just dumb folks and the only clever people are the Americans with Trump the super ‘knows all’ genius. Didn’t the Americans forget what the media were saying about Trump during the run up to the presidential election? The two rejects but the winner is now the maverick they were waiting for?

PS. China told Ford Motor, you want to sell your cars to 1.3 billion people, build your factory in China. Ford said no, we will build factory in the USA to sell to 300m people. This is Donald Trump’s brilliant advice on how to do business to Ford.

I stand corrected, not sure if Ford is building car factories in China or pulling out of China.
