Tinwins: The only tossers in the world are those who allow their personal hatred of the Potus to blind themselves from his achievements domestically and his stance internationally against the relentless march of Chinese communism intent on ruling the world. He is the only western figurehead who has shown any guts in confronting such aggression whether it be from :- China, Russia, Iran and its network of terrorists organisations, Syria, North Korea and /or Cuba.

He is a master of the carrot and stick style of negotiations as evidenced by the threat of tariffs which brought both Canada and Mexico back to the negotiating table to address the imbalance of trade which disadvantaged the USA . His threat of tariff increases with China has also brought them to the table though negotiations are still ongoing but importantly, that is more about stopping the relentless theft of American technology from companies seeking to get access to Chinese markets than just balance of trade. He is also not afraid to walk away if the deal is not in the best interests of the USA. Cases in point is North Korea who were never serious about desisting from nuclear armament. Their latest rocket launch, is testimony to that and the US withdrawal from the Asian Pacific trade treaty which was a very poor deal for the USA. Australia was lucky to keep its deal with the US because of our long term support in previous conflicts notwithstanding it disadvantaged the US in terms of the deal..

As for Cuba, this Helms-Burton Act implementation is, in my view, another stick in giving Cuba grief for its long term involvement in Venezuela. Supporting fist Chavez, and now Maduro, democracy in that country has been decimated along with is once thriving economy. The population don't want Maduro but he is being propped up by Cuba and the local military chiefs. The recent shooting of local civilians who were trying to get humanitarian aid into the country is deplorable but nevertheless, par for the course for Communists and despots around the world. If the USA had not elected Trump but Clinton instead, I would hate to think how much more aggressive the Chinese and Russians would have been in their efforts. The annexing of the Crimea by the Russians and the South China Sea by the Chinese, along with taking over the uninhabited islands long claimed by surrounding nations are evidence of what the inaction of previous Potus's have permitted. Also, don't forget it was OBAMA that drew the red line in the sand when Syria used chemical weapons on its own population. When they did it again he did nothing other that talk. Yet! when they did it under Trump's watch, he immediately sent a strong military message by bombing the airport, and when they did it again, he unleashed a massive seaborne missile attack. They haven't done it since.

As for Trumps domestic achievements:- lowest unemployment figures since Regan, highest job vacancies in decades which has led to increased wages for workers as companies seek to retain their work force. Ndew trade deals with Canada and Mexico (mentioned above) and the rebirth of the mid American States, whose economies were devastated under Obama as companies took manufacturing offshore, as Trump's policies have reversed the exodus. There is more but his detractors just need to get out from the fog of hatred of the man to see what the President has achieved in just 2 years. Cheers! .
