(1) re trump, who seems to be solidly underway applying his life-long i-am-the-smartest-richest-and-loudest-you-are-fired protocol to a nation (god best bless the nation and its near-enough neighbours)am figuring - he has been a life-long bully, of employees, associates, partners, and counter-parties - he is loud - he does not read - he does not do 9:00-to-5:00 work - he does not give a [__choose noun__] therefore i suppose collation of others' noodling may collectively be spot-on (1-i) greater uncertainty of interim, am biased toward neg outcome (1-ii) at the center, affecting the periphery (1-iii) antagonising everyone, as a protocol, is hard to work into positive, even and especially if all supplicate, thus explains the serial bankruptcies post new ventures. it is good that trump was / is ultimately based on real estate, that which is very forgiving, unlike a manufacturing operation. let us see how well the protocol works out domestically and internationally, those which are not real estate based (1-iv) putin is the leader of the year by obama default. russia is supposedly on economic collapse, is not a super conventional power, yet apparently achieved objectives everywhere, and perhaps even in america (1-v) trump’s making america great and nation building of usa first and not rest of the world would mean that indeed domestic usa should be beneficiary of policy; watch and brief to see how bullied companies do as a result of america being great (1-vi) trump perhaps doesn’t support american exceptionalism; america no longer intl cop, but ... (1-vii) trump tweeted and drew a red line: “not going to happen” for n korea to develop icbm to hit continental usa. the folks around trump may feel differently, and would either have to change trump, supplicate, retire self, or get fired. the resultant theatre should be a hoot to watch. (1-viii) core comrade xi jinping is a understated but strong leader, particularly for this year’s party congress. this is a collision course with trump who has gone off on a) taiwan b) n korea c) hitting china with heavy import taxes. (1-ix) europe? who knows. will have to find own way, sustain existing platform - socio-political, socio-economic, geo-political, etc - or change tactics, adjust strategy, or make new friends. let us watch and brief on france and germany. (1-x) japan? just devalue yen and keep going, and deal w/ neighbours as seemingly intent on doing the same old way (1-xi) there may be a fight between trump and silicon valley on fronts of security, social media and jobs. because silicon valley companies don't typically have big defence contract jobs like a boeing, trump can’t bully these companies around as much and therefore the conflict can be nastier (1-xii) trump fails because he’s either and/or incompetent, corrupt or authoritarian? in any case he certainly shall probe and test every check&balance that usa has setup. should trump not get his way as he has all of his life, what would he do? we shall find out. ... continued
