No, this isn’t a pitch for a new sitcom, it’s really happened, Donald J. Trump IS the US president.
Assuming President Trump isn’t assassinated, impeached or starts World War III, America is stuck with THE Trump for at least the next 4 years and possibly 8 years.
Hmm, I might be making a huge mistake assuming President Trump won’t change the Constitution so he can run for a third term, who knows, he’s not exactly your typical politician!

It’s hard to have any sympathy for Americans who keep voting against their own interests.
Didn’t Bernie Sanders echo the same words as Trump?
Unfortunately the Democratic Hierarchy didn’t listen and served the nomination to Hillary Clinton on a silver platter.
Clinton was a flawed candidate from the onset.
Isn’t politics like sales you need a good product to sell and unfortunately Clinton was a very, very bad product.
Let’s hope the Democrats will learn next time.
President Trump is a Terrible President
Most of the violence today in the Middle East is not fostered by the US but by the inability of the Shias and Sunnis to live in peace.
It does not help that the Arabs – with rare exceptions like Jordan – choose not to take care of their own – the refugees who are fleeing the area. It is also telling that the same refugees prefer the West to neighbors with more cultural affinity.
So, the issue becomes – when will the Shia and Sunni nations of the Middle East forge an understanding that allows them to live in peace and use their abundant resources to develop their wasted human talent?
That is the only way to prevent any meddling from others. Oh, and along the way accept that Israel is a permanent reality. Pretending otherwise does not help anything except cause misery. Given an opportunity, a lot of us Americans believe that Israel will be a true friend to her neighbors.

America Should Get OUT Of The Middle East
