Chill Out

The world is headed in the wrong direction. It's getting really scary. I don't know if North Korea has the capability to launch nuclear missiles. I hope they don't but let's be honest, we really don't know what capabilities are in their arsenal. 

North Korea is not an open player in the global community. They spew out a lot of propaganda which is so blatantly over the top, it's hard to know what actual technologies are at the North Korean regime's disposal.

Here's the thing, I don't think that North Korea is the biggest wild card.

Donald Trump is not doing a very good job of being President of the United States of America. He cannot seem to get any of his legislative agenda moving. He is losing the faith of the Republicans in the House of Representatives. It has be making him question himself. However, just because it's going poorly, you don't try to pick a fight with North Korea. 

The 'Fire and Fury' rhetoric has got to go. It does not make President Trump or his nation look strong. In fact it makes them look weak. President Trump looks like the kid who was bullied and all of a sudden his parents won the lottery. Now he feels like he can say and do what he wants.

Blunt force democracy can work in some situations. When you are dealing with simple people on simple issues, you can simply force things through. The world of geo-political posturing is much too complex and much too important to be handled with blunt Trump diplomacy.

Donald Trump won the general election by using a very simple message to a very specific audience. That's what the Trump Organization is good at. They know a lot about branding. Most of the products with the Trump name on them are licensing deals. They come from the world of hype. They really don't spend a lot of time operating entities. I'm not saying they don't run anything but they put their name on a lot more than they operate themselves. 

The world needs President Trump to dial it back, take a measured approach, listen to the experts and most importantly, delete his Twitter account. He can't be spewing any more garbage. Everything coming out the White House needs to be reviewed and vetted. It needs to go through all the experts.

That's the first step.

Next, America needs a new President before the next election. That's all I can really say about that.

The world needs to chill out, especially Mr Trump. If we are not careful, we are all going to pay dearly.
