       Before The Age of the Donald -  Part Thirteen

     Anyone who's been patient enough to read this blog, should know by now that the U.S."s foreign policy isn't going to change when Donald Trump becomes America's 45th president. The U.S. of A.'s foreign policy workers will still work overtime to topple any left wing government anywhere in Asia, Africa or Latin America. The Donald hated Fidel Castro' loathes progressives in Venezuala and will be happy to see most progressive governments vanish from the face of the globe.
     Mexican refugees in the U.S. will be shipped back home, Moslems will be demonized and so on.
The wars in Syria and Iraq may be wound down but the U.S. will remain the number one military power in the world. The Donald is planning to boost spending on the country's $540 billion annual military budget.
    The Donald is also planning to make big cuts to taxes on the rich and the super rich. These people are folks just like Donald Trump. If his administration slashes spending on Medicare, Medicaid, social security and food stamps, no one should be surprised. Past Republican presidents from Ronald Reagan on, have done this also.
     Yet in contrast to when previous Republican presidents were in the White House, anti-Trump protestors will have nowhere to go but into the streets. Republicans now run everything at the federal level: the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Presidency and soon the Supreme Court. Judging from the promises Trump made on the campaign trail, a Trump presidency will be brutal and totally top-down.
     "America has imposed some terrible governments on people around the world," a friend of mine said. "Now the U.S. could get a government as bad as those ones." Donald Trump can do a lot of bad things. In any case he now runs the most powerful company in the world. It's called the United States of America. And he is now its CEO.
