Trumpenomics

Subject: Trumpenomics.

Donald Trump is like an echo chamber. We hear part of our brain in his pronouncements that part which hasn't been swamped by the prompting of the libertarians.
Build a wall to keep em out is his response to the influx of drugs and crime from Mexico and through Mexico, Latin America. There is no doubt that Mexico, a poor country is in part bandit country with a government hardly able to keep order. We know this is true of other countries to the south of Mexico and we know what a magnet America is to that element which trades misery to millions of people. We know these things but we shuffle the overt facts into some parking space in our minds as we struggle to think of ways to defeat their trade at source. Sadly there is just too much money in their business and all attempts to find different economies have failed to offset the ease of making money through drugs and extortion. So build a wall says Trump this at least will reduce the easy passage into the US through a porous boarder. No one had had the temerity to say the obvious because it offended the sensibilities of the libertarian who's desire is to see the best in all of us.
Suspend immigration from those clearly defined terrorist hot spots where Muslim extremist thrive.  We can't do that say the liberal voice from whose stories of equality and fraternity which we have been fed for decades now. The need to bind the world together in the economic experiment of globalisation has meant that we had to become mindful of our need to be everywhere and have a finger in all the worlds societies, we had to be accepting of barbarity for the sake of a trade. Frightened of our own shadow, morally obliged to others and forgetting our own needs and values.  Obviously in a perfect world this type of altruistic thinking is preferable but in the tormented world of extremism particularly religious extremism one has to accept that you are not dealing with the norm. Cutting the conduit through which the trouble maker comes seems a perfectly acceptable solution until the source of the extremism is sorted out. But of course the libertarian sees in such a move the thwarting of all they hold dear and their belief that good is at the heart of all human beings and we must strive to unearth it.
Trump of course has denounced that aspect of an economic club, a fraternity, a brotherhood. His concept is of bilateral agreements, one on one, takes out of the equation the need to be the same to all men. You can pick and chose, like we did in the old days. Places and people who were deemed a problem you gave a wide berth to there was no sense that you had to help them out with regime change there was no world wide imperative, you chose your friends and respected your enemy's by staying well clear.
The advantage of Trump is that he has been sleeping through all this "world order" stuff  and like a 1950s child sees everything in terms of black and white. No over complicating, no cozying up to despots, he might be one of their breed and knows full well of their corruptibility and avarice.
Perhaps a wall, perhaps calling a spade a spade is what we need in this world where the reconciliation of the bad guy has been seen not to work and it's purely down to the survival of the fittest.
