I have heard that, if Trump takes the seat of POTUS, his son would be involved in the development of Gaza, nearly 90% destroyed and more than 30K Palestenians killed, into a resort area. I felt nauseous at it. Does this news mean that?
I don't think such a project would come true. It would become a cause of further and more massive conflict.
I still recall that a lot of industries in the US have been involved in the reconstruction in Afghan and Iraq after war. The biggest one was a division of Halliburton which was managed by the former vice president of Bush administration, Dick Cheney.
The US still exports arms to Israel. I heard that it had been amounted up to 20 billion USD. I know it has all started by the Hamas attack last fall. But Israeli counterattack has reached the level of ethnic cleansing as this report says. Endorsement and support to Israel by the US seem to aggravate the situation. If some faction of the US should be involved in this horrible project in the Middle East, it would leave incurable injury in the area and the faith in the US might fall down on the ground, I am afraid.
My friend wrote from England to say they were aghast that America has elected a convicted felon. What people believe depends on which cable news channel they watch. Democracy depends on the electorate being engaged and knowledgeable about civics, history, and current events. There is so much noise, and not enough light. We need sobriety and sadly, that is not what our people chose.

Susan,
DeleteTotally agree with you. I believe those in the rust belt have approved that president. I don't think he would work for those poor people at all. He works for such super rich as Musk. I am sure it will be evident very soon. It still scares me such a person holds the button of nuclear war. Let's hope division won't be carried on in your country as well as in the world.

Hi Shin,
DeleteIt’s a scary time. There is a group of psychiatrists led by Dr. Bandy Lee of Harvard who have said Trump is a malignant narcissist. The label seems to fit his behavior. He’s not stable enough to be granted this kind of power over people. I don’t know why voters didn’t figure this out already.
We can only hope for the best. I’m sorry for the danger our country’s dysfunction poses to the world. Thank you for your good wishes.
Susan
Susan,
DeleteUnortunately, it is an era of internet fascism. Here in our country, such a case is happening in various local election as well as the national election. I believe it is due to the economical disparity. It is causing fascism based on popilism. It is really scary that such as Trump is holding the button of nuclear war.
Let's do our best to leave the world as a better place for the generation upcoming.

PS;I have just finished cooking sweet potato cake. Wish I could upload the photo.
I just wonder why Trump voters won't understand his high tariff and illegal immigrant policy would bring them bad inflation. Now the interest rate in the US is rising with the expectation o inflation in the near future, I am afraid.
