Should we be worried.........

Hi and Welcome to Kylie's Life

You may be wondering what this post is going to be about and it is about a topic that is more than likely going to cause some discussion.  Now normally my stance on Politicians is that they  all lie, the the only way they can get a lie straight is if they had a pine board strapped to their back.

As those who read this blog know that read this Blog know I am in Australia and we are Allies with the United States of America we watched the electoral race - I remember where I was when they were counting the votes and making projections.  When it was announced that Mr Trump had been Elected my first instinct was to cry, my first thought was the world has just changed and we will never recover.  The day after the results the world felt - well my part of the world felt different and then all of the news reports of the protests of people holding signs saying he is not my President, immigration websites of Canada and Australia crashing seemed to bring home the reality of the situation.

As time went on I became more upbeat, I understood why he got voted in and I sincerely hoped that he would do a good job.  Then as time went I started to wonder if this man  who cannot seem to control what he says on twitter, in speeches to Scouts, doesn't seem to be able to negotiate his way though some high profile meetings of foreign leaders was the one for the job.  There were brief moments where there was a glimmer of hope and then he manages to say something and the light dies.  As this squabble with North Korea escalates I can't help but think that he has done more to add fuel to the fire than to hose it down  to the point where my son is terrified  that Australia is going to be bombed and for a 11 year old to be thinking that instead of wondering if Batman is better than Superman is not good.  You see North Korea's biggest supporter is China which is on our doorstep, it used to be that Australia was so far out of the way that there would be no chance of us being attacked but that has changed and well it is very scary.

So Mr Trump please please pull your head in, stop inflaming the situation by tweeting rants, going off script that the speech writers have spent many hours working on.  Please be the President that I know you can be, one that is uniting the world not one who is trying to tear the world apart.  I know you want to make the USA great again but do it by being proactive - embrace changes in the many different colours that make up America, yes start producing things in America again but remember those people that make the products you use come in all shapes, sizes, colours, religions, economic backgrounds and gender.
Please remember that you work for the government you don't run the government, get out onto the street, talk to the people - not just as their President, not as a Billionaire but as their neighbour somebody that they can respect.


I promise that this is going to be my last foray into the political areena, and on Monday I will be back to my normal self.
