Trump's Right

That's right, I said Donald Trump is right. Even if it seems America has just voted in the Unabomber.

Or at least about NAFTA, TTP (or TTIP), NATO, Russia and Syria. It's only a shame that it takes someone on the right to legitimately say these things without being denounced as a liberal-hippy-peacenik-conspiracy theorist. With regards to actually talking to Putin and Assad he says the same things Jeremy Corbyn would say. Yes, it's simplistic to say that "Syria is killing ISIS so we should talk to Syria" but it is right. We cannot effectively be fighting two regimes and Trump (and Bernie Sanders if he had been allowed to run) has tapped in to the American public's lack of patience with their government's foreign policy disasters.

The problem is the not-at-all liberal media. Because Trump is against a renewed conflict with Russia the warmongers who make the news cannot stand this. Instead he has to be described as a "friend to dictators". But this only exposes the double-sided racism of the media barons. Racism one because their biggest critique of Trump isn't his obvious racism against Mexicans, blacks and Muslims, it is because he doesn't follow racism number two which allows the United States the divine right to bomb all the brown people it can and call it promoting peace and democracy.
