Trump, oh Trump!

Trump,  oh  Trump! What happened to you, suddenly attacking Iran, while the talk on that nuclear thing was still going on between you and Iran. Even if the outcome was not to your liking. it is really shocking to see what you did on the 28th February  2026. Your friend Isreal also joined in immediately. Luckily, Russia is preoccupied with Ukraine and China seems to be more concerned  for its economy. 

The whole world, maybe with the exception of a handfull of countries friendly to you, is cursing you. You did not even consult  your nation's Congress, as is the norm, before you did what you did. The people in your Congress are pulling their hairs out  in dismay and confusion.  Even many of your supporters in your country  seem to have illusions about you now. It almost looks like these attacks had been preplanned long before between  israel and you.The reason you  gave  also varies. At one time, you said the reason for attacking was to disable the nuclear capabilites of Iran. Then, when their Supreme  Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed along with atleast 20 other personnels, you said the Iranian regime had been killing thousands of protesters in their country, protesting against the regime's rule, and that you were paving the way for them take over and form the government they desired. Again, later you said Iran has been  threatening  USA all the while, with it shouting " Death to America! Death to America!" 

So far, about  over 1000 had died in Iran, sadly, including 165 primary school girls,  which you blame on Iran itself. Another 400 were killed when your  friend Israel attacked nearby  Lebanon, the target being the Iran-backed Hezbullah militant group. I am afraid  the casualties may increase as Iran, in its moment of madness, is also attacking the those gulf countries with USA military bases, namely, Qatar,  Saudi  Arabia,  Kuwait, Bahrain,  and UAE. 

Another thing, you did not even discuss your devastating action with your European allies and they were aghast at seeing Iran being attacked and were feeling  dismayed and disgusted. And you have the gall to tell them that they were not helping you with your...well, misadventures. You said you are cutting off trade with Spain and subsequently, belittled the Prime Minister of the UK, Keir Starmer, saying he is not Winston Churchill. Actually, in response, Keir Starmer  should have said you are not Franklin D. Roosevelt either! Ha ha! That would have been funny, hitting the headlines, next day! I am sure, as the President, you would have analysed his work but just to remove any unintended confusion, Franklin  D  Roosevelt or, FDR, as he was conveniently called at that time,  was the 32nd President  of USA, when Sir Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of Britain during World War 2 . 

Coming into the presence, it is strange that you seem to make leaders of nations nervous to speak to you by your daring and don't-care type of talk and attitude. Their awareness of your old age and your consistant boasting of possession of power, and your glee in demeaning people don't help matters.

Come on, Mr President Donald J. Trump, sir. Yes, you are getting on in age, will be 80 in about 2 month's time. Take a rest. Occupy yourself with something beneficial. Former presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama are making themselves engaged in philanthropy, civic activities, writing, giving lectures in universities etc, etc. Maybe, you can go back to your real estate business which you were so good at and which made you a billionaire. Or, since you are so fond of firing people, you can produce a sequel to your once popular reality tv show - The Apprentice. You can name it, The Apprentice 2!

Trump, the final apprentice?

 There is an untold feeling like the whole world is heaving a great sigh of relief of Trump having left the office of the Presidency of USA, the reason being, many of his decisions have been very controversial and hurting to many nations. I am sure many of the posts in the blogs and the media would have covered that.

That aside, talking on a slightly different aspect, but quite relevant to the subject, the fact is, money really talks. See. It made the multi-billionaire Trump the most powerful man in the world - the President of America! Being fair to the man, it is very certain Trump made shrewd use of his money to achieve the thing that he so desired. He got power and fame. Fame and popularity, he already had, when his television reality show, The Apprentice was ardently followed by eager viewers, serial after serial, on most parts of the world, including my Malaysia. Ironically, his reality show phrase “You are fired”, used in The Apprentice, continued to be used in his real life as President and many of his staff were the victims. In a way, quite sadly, on January 20, 2021 it catapulted back to him.  

He, Donald John Trump, had been a man of determination all right - determination to win anything, by hook or crook and fought tooth and nail to get it. His life showed it. It seems to be not in his blood to go down tamely. Yes, he fought to the bitter end. The end of his Presidency.

I think many men and women will follow his in-built good traits – determination; that you will finally succeed if you really put your heart into it. And strength. And the capability to withstand and absorb the whiplash!
