    So one week in and the world is already changing.

    He is going to build the Wall, he is making real his threat to deport millions of illegal immigrants and criminals to Mexico, wants to build up the US military to near Cold War levels, has just banned citizens and refugees from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the US, and has all but stated that he would prefer that refugees from war thorn countries coming to America be Christian rather than Muslim.

    In one week NATO and the European Union are dreading waking up in the morning to hear the latest salvo coming out of Washington, the United Nations and the Muslim world is in a catatonic depression, and Mexico is facing the greatest political crisis in its history and Trump hasn't even started with the economic sanctions yet.

    What's going to happen when he starts dealing with real issues. ISIS, the Iran nuclear deal, North Korea and Chinese trade and sabre rattling in the South China Sea

    This is becoming mad comic stuff material but really how could you see Trump handling China.

    Xi Jinping: "Taiwan and the islands in the South China Sea are Chinese sovereign territory"

    Trump: "We will be moving the US Seventh Fleet from Japan to Taiwan and basing US nuclear forces in Taiwan, and BTW will recognise the KMT as the legitimate government of China.

    As regards Iranian and North Korean nuclear ambitions. " Close your nuclear facilities down or we will bomb the crap out of you"

    But at least Britain is a bit happier as Trump as put Churchill's bust back in the Oval Office and has announced a presidential visit to the UK this year were he hopes to play golf with the Queen at Balmoral Castle!

      Got to admit that I had serious doubts about Trump during the election, but I will say this, it has been one wild week in office!

      The major news networks are in full meltdown, Hollywood celebrities are showing their complete lack of education and utter disdain for "Middle Americans", college students are behaving worse then kindergarteners, and the professional protesters are getting busted and facing serious jail time and fines if convicted.

      Week Two promises to be even more insane!
      The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.

              One of my concerns right now is that the administration is still extremely raw and unaccustomed to the language used in crafting law, to the extent that the immigration ban had to be revised because (as originally written) it prohibited Muslim members of the US Armed Forces from returning to the United States if deployed in Iraq. Now, that was completely not the intent of the order, but it was so poorly worded that it was the effect. The law of unintended consequences is harsh enough without throwing in shoddy language skills to exacerbate the issue.
