I Am Not A Fan Of America’s 46th President

The American political landscape is complicated. The last I checked there
was some other bloke in the White House calling the shots, and now all of
a sudden everyone’s taking orders from John Bolton.

To be perfectly honest, I don’t even remember the US having another
election. I thought it was every four years, but who knows? I used to
think the US had a Constitution and that turned out to be a myth.

Maybe Robert Mueller’s investigation got rid of the last guy like the
Democrats promised and the Americans elected President Bolton after that?
I know I’m supposed to be a political commentator and all, but there’s
too much to keep track of and it’s all very confusing.

So now America has a new president, and you know what? Not a fan. Not a
fan at all. He’s always trying to start wars and interfere in the
affairs of other nations like he’s some kind of psychopath or something.
I know Americans aren’t fond of foreigners criticising their government
officials, but to be perfectly frank I don’t know what you Yanks were
thinking electing this chap.

I could understand why you all elected the last guy, the fellow with the
reality TV show. I didn’t agree with a lot of his policies and his
personality was often downright oafish, but I could understand. He
promised to end interventionist wars and bring all the wasted money and
resources back to America, which if I recall correctly he wanted to make
great and put first or something of that nature. How does a country go
from selecting a president like that to President Bolton?

I mean, look at what your new president is doing in Iran. Your last
president campaigned against wars in the Middle East, correctly pointing
out that they “have unleashed destruction, terrorism and ISIS across the
world,” and frequently criticized his predecessor for excessive
hawkishness towards Iran. Now your 46th president is weighing the
possibility of sending 120,000 troops to fight Iran, which former National
Security Advisor Colin Kahl said is an operation that would only be used
in the event of an invasion with the goal of regime change.

Or how about Venezuela? Your last president’s inauguration speech
criticized US interventionism, and won the primary and general elections
largely due to his criticisms of his opponents’ interventionist foreign
policies, but now President Bolton is actively pushing to topple
Venezuela’s government and install a puppet regime there.

Or Syria? What’s going on with Syria? Your last president was saying
he’s going to bring all the troops home, then next thing you know Bolton
is in charge saying it’s basically never going to happen.

Look, Americans, I don’t want to tell you how to run your country, but
in my opinion you’ve got to be more careful about who you elect to
control the most powerful military force in the history of civilisation.
This Bolton fellow is a deranged maniac with an extensive history of
catastrophic war peddling and downright sociopathic behavior, and you
should never have allowed him to be in charge.

Next election, whenever that is, please make sure you turn up at the
voting booths in record numbers and make sure your voice gets heard.
You’re lucky enough to live in a nation where you get to directly
participate in your government’s behavior by voting for who will
represent your interests in your government based on their political
positions, and you should take full advantage of that wonderful blessing.

There are nations in this world who have their leaders selected for them,
or where they get to vote as a symbolic placebo but their votes don’t
matter at all when it comes to the way their nation is actually governed.
Count yourselves lucky that you don’t live in one of those.

That's how he became president. Nobody was paying any attention to people who didn't like the status quo. The Democrats thought they could throw Clinton out there and it would be a landslide. They weren't paying attention. The Republicans thought they could throw a Bush or similar Republican out there. They weren't paying attention either.

Trump was fought first by the Republican party, then the Democrat party. Neither party had a clue, but Trump did.

That's an "interesting" take on the platform of Trump, who notably made a show of being willing to nuke Europe, and the value of voting in the US, where several people responsible for the votes that actually count swore they would vote for him without regard for who the people did. Is this some kind of Bizarro alternate reality post? 45 has never been about peace or sense in any form that I've heard from his fans or anyone else, only bullying, bigotry, and ignorance. Remember when dove Trump responded to North Korean threats with an olive branch made of war vessels? I guess people forget everything the instant another crisis or some covfefe bullshit comes up.
