Trumpspotting


Choose Putin. Choose tyranny. Choose racism. Choose narcissism. Choose stupid hair.

Choose American dream. 


“I’m a people-pleaser,” said Donald Trump in the latest Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. 



But I wonder whether Americans are pleased  with the revelations that the President has given Russian officials highly classified intelligence during a recent Oval Office visit and that he allegedly encouraged former FBI Director James Comey to drop an investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia.


The Trump-Comey turmoil triggered a heart attack on financial markets. S&P sharply dropped, volatility surged, safe heavens advanced, big bank shares declined, gold futures climbed and the single currency also caught a bid. Now the pre-election propaganda for strengthening the US economy is fading away, together with latest bad numbers from macro data on US economy. 


Apart from economy spots, which definitely can not be neglected, the agenda is whether Mr Trump’s decision to discuss highly classified intelligence with Russian officials appears to be within the law.

Trump’s decision to disclose this information might theoretically put American lives at risk or seriously risk intelligence sharing relationships worldwide. 

A simple act of carelessness which is proved by the giving up from the oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” and “faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States.”

Choose future. Choose life. Choose impeachment.
