If I amuse you then fine. You must have an odd sense of humour. I don’t find Trump the least amusing.

The big difference is that I am enjoying an active retirement in which any work I do is primarily directed at trying to help those less fortunate than myself. Whilst Trump, who is almost my age, is seeking to become the leader of the free world again, after him presiding over 4 years of chaos and trying to subvert democracy. Now that’s really scary.

The Eisenhower 8 year presidency is often compared to the Kennedy years critically.

Yet Eisenhower gave America stability peace and growth albeit he was seen as an boring old man.

Kennedy on the other hand brought sexy to the White House and Hollywood glamour yet he almost brought America to nuclear war and failed to do anything about civil rights.

Eisenhower is seriously underrated as a President and Kennedy the opposite.

I don’t think you really believe that!

No democracy is perfect or incapable of improvement. That is not the issue. What matters is whether it is better than the alternatives and history emphatically suggests it is. You surely don’t need me to explain why? Whilst a benign dictator might be an effective way out of a short term crisis they invariably evolve into despotic regimes, crushing opposition and free speech.

The biggest problem we face with our democracies is whilst the need for improvement is clear the pathway to acquiring it is blocked, often by those who would benefit most from it. Especially in the USA where sheltering behind the constitution is seen as an imperative.

Your description of Trump made me smile! Sure he has a proven track record. A very, very bad one. He is a liar, a bully, is impetuous, doesn’t listen and most importantly doesn’t accept the judgement of the people. That you have swallowed the bs being dolloped out by the right in the USA that his legal troubles are all politically motivated is embarrassing to read in the UK. If there weren’t cases to answer no cases could exist. Justice works slowly and at arms length. That the system they have there means that politicians appoint the judiciary doesn’t mean that the judiciary cannot do their job. It just means that, especially in the Supreme Court, politicians can appoint those they believe are more politically aligned with themselves.
