By decree

On February 19, the Spanish press is again fixated on the Trump show.

Mr. Trump has discovered a way to avoid being bogged down with the pittle and sandbox fights in the Senate. He governs the nation by presidential decree! Why do we need a Senate?

If our Leader reads, I would recommend that he at least buy, to leave visible on his desk for others to see, The Fierce Reality of Now. I am sure that the information found there would make it easier to support Mr. Pence´s postures and attitudes as he showed them in Munich.

The leader is being contaminated by the subtle lying of the US media.  All of us, including the Swedish government, were at a loss about the supposed problems with immigrants. The Swedes think he was referring to a traffic incident in Lapland.  The Swedish prime minister suggested that Trump was smoking something real bad down there under the Florida sun.  Maybe, just maybe, Trump´s liberty with the truth comes from his belief that if he says it, it is probably true. Hey, that sounds like his charges against CNN.

In Munich yesterday the German chancellor and the French president among others clearly indicated that the serious doubts in the reliability, the will and the  determination  of the Trump regime to march with Europe in issues of mutual defense is a serious thorn. Echoing the concerns across Europe, she let it be clearly understood that the NATO/EC prefers to count on th USA as an ally, but in the era of mistrust fomented again and again from Washington , other measures made-in- Europe will have to be analysed to put a real shield in place against we know whom.  Mr. Pence made a  positive impression in Munich but then the leader at his campaign rally in Florida shot him out of the saddle.

AARP is leading the battle to win support in Congress (among Republicans, mainly) to block Trump´s efforts to murder Obamacare.  On the campaign trail he casually remarked that the rejection of Obamacare would be partial and that within just a few days a full new  and far better plan would be in place. From up there in the Trump Tower in the Land of Trump did he realize that there was something called the democratic process down there in the streets of Senate and House-land?

Have a nice day
