So it is silly to go on about, what we wish the world were and not address it in a sensible way. Everything has been said concerning the man's boasting and campaigning. The media should get on to the issues and stop wasting time and space on whining. Ask the policy questions. Show that free immigration works in a country with a social system works. But don't let Trump make the press look like dupes.
"The media should....." I don't know where you get news, me it's foreign press, CBC, BBC and sometimes CNN on line. To the first bold, who in the media is "whining" or did you mean Trump's whining? I hear widespread confusion as "the media" tries to accurately report and interpret because Trump is all over the map on "policy." He one day says one thing and the next either his chief of staff or some advisor conflicts with him, and the dolts hired to be the mouthpiece end up covered in egg. He often ignores questions altogether, which you don't see, and frankly more has been written along the lines "Exactly what is his policy" than an example of his policy, showing that the questions are being masked but not answered or given conflicting answers
First you are "ripping up" NAFA, then Trump got a moment of clarity and learned of the possible dangers by Sen McClain, and that was the end of that talk, but NOT ONE WORD on any goals the US wants to achieve. He has never given an answer...so the questions ARE being asked, the questioned appears to have no idea of an answer.
Then, the repeal Obamacare bill tanks, McClain is now "the enemy" and we are back to "tearing it up" as the first official talk open in DC. Did you know that?
So now teams of experts on everything traded between the US, Canada and Mexico cool their heels while your own team tries to figure out what the **** you want.
I doubt many Americans know this, but the Canadian portion of that trade represents the largest between free nations in the world. In 2015 Canada consisted of US$295.2 billion in imports and US$280.3 billion in export.s.
Did you know that?
"The Media" we love to bash is a whore. It will only give you what you want the most and then in ever-teasing promos of "still to come". I left it with the words "television news is an oxymoron". In these days there appears to be ONE topic for Americans: Donald Trump. He is so over the top, so bellicose and often vile, so much so you can't stop watching.
But are you getting "news"?
No.
What the media is doing with Trump is all that you can...keep shoveling his bull**** out there and wait for people to find a new interest. Frankly, were I in the US, I would sleep better at night knowing what's going on with NAFTA than the daily comic as it represents 100's of thousands of jobs in both countries and for the first time in my life, Canadian negotiators have publicly discussed the need to "walk away" should Trump try for a quick PR boost and ram down a bad agreement.
Most economists say the US will take more of a beating than Canada and Mexico if the two remain in agreement and the US opts out, but in this day and age, and after 150 years of peace and prosperity is it necessary to destroy a way f life for a few points in the polls?
