I must admit to getting sadistic pleasure watching the PR manufactured leaders of the world’s major economies get their collective arses kicked and their noses rubbed into a dose of reality by a businessman from the real world who speaks and acts on behalf of the people who elected him.
Their hysterical reaction to the measures taken by President Trump to redress the one-sided trade deals that have been screwing the American people for decades is illuminating. A straight talking, newly minted political leader fulfilling the promises he made during his election campaign is obviously an alien concept to these people.
Perhaps these world leaders expected President Trump to adopt their modus operandi and make different promises to different demographic, ethnic and religious groups to get elected then renege on every promise the day after the votes are counted.
Apart from building a big beautiful wall, candidate Trump reiterated at every rally, debate and press conference that he believes in free trade, but it must be fair trade. He followed this up by stating that he would pull out of the unfair Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), renegotiate the unfair North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and pull out of the Paris Climate Accords which punished America but let countries like India, China and other third world polluters off the hook.
