Just Saying | The world must learn to wean itself off Donald Trump’s crazy new America
Yonden Lhatoo says Donald Trump’s ‘America first’ policy in motion is a wake-up call for the world to stop depending on the US and find its own feet
It’s compulsory viewing to get an idea of the New World Order and what’s happening as America walls itself in and shows us all the middle finger.
Watch the man who was once a national and global laughing stock wipe the grin off everyone’s face as he is sworn into the most powerful office on the planet and sends a finger-wagging message to the rest of the world: “From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first. America first.”
The entire ceremony, capped by Trump’s belligerent barrage of invective putting the world on notice, came across as a dystopian, autocratic, fascist scenario of the type that popular culture loves to depict in comics and movies.
In foreign policy, energy, jobs and trade, Donald Trump’s key plans put ‘America First’
Hence the comparisons with Bane, the grotesque Batman villain, when he takes over Gotham City, which could well be Washington, DC, in Trump’s apocalyptic vision of “American carnage”.
