IT is impossible to predict Donald Trump’s actions except by working out what is easy to do that he will personally gain prestige or money from, according to political observers.
The world has entered a new era of head-spinning erratic leadership, with the one minor caveat that any actions will follow the simple rule of being achieved without difficulty and promising untold millions to the presidency.
Julian Cook in Washington DC said: “Who could have foreseen the assault on Venezuela? Anyone aware the CIA had briefed the White House they could snatch Maduro tomorrow and also that Venezuela was oil-rich.
“And what will happen to Venezuela now? Well, Trump won’t invade because that would be hard, but will be paid off so they can carry on roughly as before. Easy and profit. See?
“Will he fix healthcare? No, that’s hard and abstract. Will he put his name on the Kennedy Centre? Yes, that’s easy and he gets his name on a big building in gold.
“Canada can relax. It’s safe from invasion because it would be difficult. Greenland is f**ked because he can take it over tomorrow, assign himself 100 per cent of the mineral rights and change its name to Trumponia.”
He added: “Rigging a World Cup and Olympics on US soil and declaring midterm election results invalid? Easy. Don’t act all surprised when it happens.”
