US Politics

So what exactly all you Trump supporters expect by Trump?
as a non American, all I want is for him to come good on his foreign policy ideas of not supporting the Syrian "rebels" and work with Russia to knock the hell out of the jihadis in the middle east.

world peace and all of that :) v
 
I doubt that anything essential will change behind the scenes where the power lies but I will always prefer a more liberal conservative candidate rather than a proponent of liberal socialism.

Trump has a tendency to praise the infrastructure in the GCC and as we all know he loves a good solid wall so I suggest that King Salman shows him the Saudi Arabian-Iraqi border and the Saudi Arabian-Yemeni border.

Likely bad news for the Mullah's too and those states that have enjoyed and benefitted from the catastrophic foreign policy of Obama in the region.






Remember who basically owns Fox News and many conservative media, lol.

"The latest filing from Trump Victory, his presidential campaign committee, reveal that Trump now receives donations from lobbyists associated with the very regimes Trump denounced on stage.

Marc Lampkin, a lobbyist for Saudi Arabia, gave recently to the Trump campaign. Lobbyists for BGR Group, another firm representing the Saudi government, have given to the Trump campaign."​

KSA essentially supported both candidates with symbolic sums of money. Smart business. Can't lose that way.

Trump understands the importance of money, power and influence.

Not to say that KSA always had better relations with the US whenever a Republican president was in power.

Trump is just another tool of the system. He will do nothing different

Agree. No current US allies will be left "to themselves". In fact I predict that the US will do more to keep allies in their camp given the rise of China and what has been happening lately with a few traditional US allies (Philippines, KSA, Israel etc.).

As for Syria it was Obama's deliberate policy to prolong the madness in Syria and destabilize the Middle East. Trump will likely change that for the betterment of all countries in the region overall. Syria is a lost cause anyway and destroyed at least for the next 1-2 generations. Too late to fix it. Let Russia and the Mullah's continue to waste billions in the swamp and on a lost project. KSA has done well to mostly keep out. Besides Yemen is the by far biggest priority and the US is on the side of the legitimate Yemeni regime and will continue to be that as it is in their interests as well.

So all in all, a good result. As for internal US matters, Blacks, Latinos or whatever, none of our business as non-Americans.

I think these are all good signs as we may now be reverting back to the long-weakened Westphalian nation state. Multiculturalism in extreme porous form is better be stopped because it breeds social uncohesiveness and creates pockets of areas with social ills are abundant.

The political correctness of not calling a terrorist a terrorist, but some sort of angry youth or freedom fighter may now be stopped.

No more every unhappy group of people deserving a state of their own.

I began to sympathize with Trump's ideas when he clearly referred to himself as being anti-globalist. The MSM has subdued most of his messages, but, he has very strong opinion of nation state and cultural clarity.

Perhaps, with Trump elected, the old regionalism is entirely dead (EU's disintegration might speed up). Now, the room is more open for new regionalism such as the OBOR.

It may have some positives, but also many negatives. Heck, I have no problem with Trump being the leader of the US and I have said this all along. In fact, he should win it because in my opinion the American people deserve a leader like him. The Americans have for too long supported wars and interfered in other nations. They have killed scores of innocent people including my native Pakistan. If Trump really means what he says, the US won't interfere in Syria and other places and that can only be a good thing.

Trump isn't bad news for Pakistan, China or Mexico. Trump cannot do jack sh!t to these nations. He will only shoot himself in the foot by opening new fronts.
 
They expect an awful lot!

and Trump promised a lot. I'm afraid though, that once he gets into the White House, he's going to find that it's going to be much easier said than done to accomplish some of the things he said he wants to do.

I certainly hope he can affect some change for the better, that's for sure!
At least Hillary will go to jail for her corruption, this is a good thing.
