Trump’s Speech On Wednesday

Trump's statement this morning about the Iranian missile attack was the best presidenting I've ever seen in terms of clarity, intention, persuasion, tone, and likely effectiveness. This one goes in the text books in terms of technique, no matter how things turn out.

I concur.

In straightforward, lucid terms, Trump hit all the right notes.

As Andrea Widburg noted,

Thanks to all who have served and have kept us free. Enjoy the song.

On Sunday ABC News ran dramatic video footage of a Kurdish town under bombardment by Turkish forces just one week after PDJT announced the withdrawal of some 50 American troops stationed between Turkish Forces and the Kurds who had fought beside us against ISIS. Good Morning America repeated the story on Monday.

A Speech For The Ages

Some 20 years ago Howard Stern asked Trump if he would run for president. Mr. Trump said,

“Personally I don’t need it, I will be ok. But I really worry about my children and grandchildren, the world is moving in the wrong direction. If, in the near future, the next Reagan does not become president, then I will try. See how much support I get, and then decide”.

On Tuesday President Trump gave a speech at the UN. Without a doubt this is the best speech he has given as President. In all my decades of life, I have never heard as good a speech as the one PDJT gave. It was the most honest speech that any world leader has ever done. He came to an organization that is used to hearing how important they are as leaders. President Trump set a new tone to world politics. Presidents serve people, not people serving presidents.

Stunning!

PDJT wants to transform U.S. relations with North Korea. And it certainly appears that PDJT made big gains on Sunday. Remember “Peace is the Prize.” The world is waiting to see the outcome.

North Korea has released a remarkable 16-minute video that was broadcast in their country. It simply overflows with praise for the meeting at Panmunjom. The tone, narration, music, and cinematography all point to selling the public that a new era is dawning. The full video is embedded at the end of the article.

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”

I was watching history being made overnight on Saturday into Sunday. So did millions of other people around the world. We all stayed up to watch the first sitting U.S. president cross into North Korea (3:45 AM ET). PDJT and North Korea’s Chairman Kim Jong-un took another step towards peace. And South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in was grinning from ear-to-ear.

Their meeting “constitutes a step further in the walk of peace, not only on that peninsula but in the entire world.” Pope Francis.

May God guide them and watch over them.

It has been an interesting week in US-China relations. As recently as a few of weeks ago, China had been threatening to blacklist foreign companies that “sided” with the US in the ongoing trade war.

The move to establish the blacklist came after the United States hit Huawei with an export ban, effectively barring US companies from doing business with the smartphone and telecom equipment maker.

The ban was designed to keep the nation’s networks secure from foreign adversaries. The concern is that the company’s products could offer the Chinese government a way to spy on sensitive US communications. Huawei denied the accusations.

In the middle of May, Xi Jinping, China’s leader, had warned his people of a new “Long March.” “We are here at the starting point of the Long March to remember the time when the Red Army began its journey,” Xi told cheering crowds in Jiangxi province. “We are now embarking on a new Long March, and we must start all over again.” Jiangxi province is the site of the Red Army’s retreat in 1934-36. Xi appeared to be warning his people that hardships lay ahead.

Xi Jinping To Visit North Korea

As noted yesterday, Asia, specifically China, is providing some interesting bits of news this week. On Sunday some 2 million Hong Kongers protested in the streets over China’s attempt to subvert their rights within their legal justice system. Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s chief executive officer, may have been the target of their immediate anger. However, clearly China is their concern.

The heavy-handed response by Lam, rubber bullets and tear gas, against protesters who were peaceful has brought at least silent condemnation from most of the civilized world. This was no UC-Berkley protest. There were no fires in the streets. There were no broken windows. There was no looting. Emergency vehicles that needed to get through were allowed to pass. There were more than 70 injuries from the police response.
