We have Republican Donald Trump as president. He's never run for political office before because he was a businessman. We're trying to figure out if a former businessman, who went bankrupt six times, can be a successful president. President Trump really hasn't done much in his first 100 days in getting his campaign promises into law, concerning how he's going to make America great again.
Seems like his number one complaint is about the media, which he is trying to replace by using Twitter and his own undocumented comments, which have gotten him in trouble when he fired FBI Director James Comey, over the issue of how involved was President Trump with Russians during the election, involving WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. This mess confused both political parties so that the Justice Department appointed a special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, to solve the problem if President Trump was colluding with the Russians and having private meetings with them in the Oval Office without the press being allowed in.
This is something I don't ever remember Democrat President Barack Obama doing. In fact, President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were critical of the way communist Russia was being run, particularly when they invaded Ukraine.
All of these problems started way back when World War II was ending and they had many conferences, with Yalta being the biggest, letting Russia control the countries of Eastern Europe that they conquered during the war. Since the Communist system doesn't have contested elections like Europe, a Socialist continent and the United States, they are always going to have more turmoil than a democracy has.
Can you imagine Russia running something like C-Span, where all our important meetings are televised? And phone calls are being taken for three hours every morning rotating Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Communism has to improve if it is ever going to catch up to the United States or a Socialist country.
You'd come to that same conclusion if you read the book "The Man Without A Face; The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin," by Masha Gessen. Communist Russia, just like North Korea, haven't kept up with the demands of the people and a standard of living. I believe the big problem is that Communists don't let the farmers own the land creating food shortages.
They must have an open media if they are ever going to solve their problems.
