Trump’s arrival is a great danger for Australia

Many Australians persist in believing that Trump’s USA is still the friendly ally that would get them out of trouble immediately if ever any nasty event were to occur… such as, for example, an Asian nation trying to force its way into their vast unprotected treasure-trove. If such an attack were to take place today, Australia would be totally incapable of looking after herself. Today, the world observes the way in which Trump is going into action in the economic world, removing the USA from the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). Trump is changing the long-established US role in trade with Australia. Tomorrow, similar destruction could well occur in the traditional US role in Pacific defense. In that domain, seeking assistance from China, say, would be a little like jumping from the frying-pan into the fire. Help from Old World democracies such as France and Britain would be a more reassuring solution. The best solution of all for my land of birth would be an accident from God that chased away forever the ginger-headed Fascist tyrant.
