Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[cookie2]

We're in "phony war" stage of the battle.
Trump is setting up his fortifications before he starts building his castle..... while under constant attacks from his opponents.
Whether that castle ends up being Camelot or Mt Doom remains to be seen.
Now is the best time for the opposition to attack, throw a whole lot of negatives out there that can be used to undermine him down the track, before he's too entrenched...especially when he's making decisions that re-inforce some of the worst fears of his incumbency.

The problem is it's creating uncertainty and hysteria.
Sure there is a lot of outright lying that can be seen, but there is also exaggeration and misinformation that clouds the issues on both sides.
We read an outrageous claim and then spend time researching whether in fact it's true , false,  a half truth....or who bloody knows!

I'm not certain which side is actually benefiting from the protests....while it makes a lot of noise and grabs a lot of attention, how is the general American population feeling about it?
Does criticism from the UK, Germany, Australia etc add weight to the protests or does it have the opposite "mind your own business" effect.

A lot will depend on where they sit on the spectrum....
It's that middle ground who voted for neither Trump or Clinton, or who were on the fringe in terms of support, who'll determine the future of the USA....and the length of Trump's role as President.

An interesting point of view is the one that states that the the real solution to the refugee crises is to stop perpetrating the devastating wars that create the refugees in the first place, and the US is behind a lot of these (aided and abetted by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain to name but two), Syria being one example. It is interesting to note that the protesters are nowhere to be seen as far as these slaughters are concerned?
