Emma Ashford does a fine job summing up the flaws in Trump’s handling of foreign policy issues:
Indeed, it is nearly impossible to tell whether he actually believes these statements, or is simply monumentally ill-informed. Based on his comments to the Washington Post, Trump is apparently unaware of European sanctions on Russia, of the fact that Iran and ISIS oppose each other, and believes that America’s GDP is “essentially zero.”
I need your help, readers. Well, it’s not me, but it’s a young woman from a Muslim country who is here in the US on a visa. Her family has decided that she must return and enter into an arranged marriage. She doesn’t want to do this. The family’s relatives in the US are threatening to kill her if she doesn’t do the will of her family. She is terrified, and doesn’t know what to do.

Ten years ago, a major Hollywood film entitled “Idiocracy” was released, and it was an excellent metaphor for what would happen to America over the course of the next decade.

Donald Trump is on a roll, election-wise, in the United States. While his support grows, some may be shocked to find that one of his former top publicity and communication strategists has not only quit, but she has a dire warning for America: DO NOT ELECT TRUMP. Stephanie Cegielski, has strong words for those, like she once was, who are Trump supporters. She claims that what started as a “protest” Presidential run, not meant to make any impact, has morphed into an incredibly scary monster.
