The thing about President Trump: He's a monarchical maniac!

Trump is a Nineteenth Century romantic; and that's why he thinks the Jewish homeland is to be only in Palestine when the plain truth is the Jews have a homeland wherever they live.  Even in the US!  I saw his speech on C-SPAN last night.  He did not do the US proud, but became a spokesman for Zionism and in that capacity relegated Judaism to a sect.

But that is precisely the point: he wants the world to conform to his image of what the world should be; and for him there is no dialogue possible with those who do not go along with vision.  In his recent talks with other NATO members, he became a laughing-stock amid the chagrin expressed by representatives of other countries that their security should be taken so lightly so to accept his demands for their continued US concern for their protection throughout Europe and environs.

Reportedly, his stance for a Nineteenth Century Romanticism is equally netting a fake-moralistic stance of a "take-it-or-leave-it" deal.  This man is a hindrance to diplomatic discussions and places the US in a position that the US constitution has become threatened and will be non-enforced.

I tell you my position.  It is that the US should learn to cooperate with China and not accept Trump's Romantic notion that he is always "the Father who knows best!"  It will be a miracle if China accepts his demands for a trade deal.
