John, please, more compassion. "Fu¢k the USA" is too much, dear. :(
Unhappily, they are already fu¢ked. The rest of the world too. It's the end of the globalization era and the world will change a lot. Not for a better stage, probably. :(
This corrupt guy really will create new jobs. He wants workers building "The Great Wall of USA", more cops, more army, uff... Good luck, USA! :(
Current top comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12907201 is insightful, I think. Albeit defensive ;) Trump is basically an isolationist, I think. | It is possible to view this as an isolated event or a trend. | Coming on the heels of BREXIT this is a trend. | | The attempts at building an interconnected globalised world are | beginning to fail. A bunch of elites decided to create their own | trans-national utopia unchecked by borders and dismissed all | criticism as racist or bigoted. The globalisation project has | been rejected by a majority of the population. Whether it is for | economic reasons or just plain bigotry is something for the | sociologists to study and not something I can pontificate on. | | Also people seem to care a LOT about immigration and preserving | their culture. Instead of patronising these people it's time we | tried to understand their concerns and try to assuage them. | | There is no genuine leftist alternative. It's a choice between | center-right "left" that's sold out to the establishment and the | far right. Economists need to stop acting like priests in the | medieval ages who justified the existing order . The rural voter | who lost his job doesn't care about the theory of comparitive | advantage. | | If this trend holds this will soon take hold in France and other | European nations. This is a return to the world of the 1920s. Not | gloom and doom but a much more unstable global order with every | country for itself. Not what we need when we face planet scale | threats like global warming. Get out of your bubble.
