'' 'PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PRESCIENCE' ''

PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP  has a master point : the world should get off its back and start  solving its own problems.

The World Students Society agrees, and stops to pay respects to this great super power, this great nation, and the American President, and has the honor to add :

That The World Students Society, [for every subject in the world], with great student-founders from America, is the exclusive ownership of every student of America, just as its the exclusive ownership of every great student in the entire world : OneShare-Piece-Peace.

PRESIDENT TRUMP has become a phenomenon. Like Samson in the temple, he seems able to topple the entire edifice of policy.

Down crashes America's government machine for the sake of a wall, world trade is devastated, stock markets plummet, alliances lie in ruins.

*It is astonishing what one man can do the world, virtually alone*.

For a Briton to spend time in the US just now is a blessed relief. Whole days pass, and no talk of Brexit. It is as if pall has lifted from the art of conversation. But the US has its own deep divide, slashing through the populist body politic.

It is Donald Trump and ''America first''.

I repeat : Trump has become a phenomenon. Like Samson in the temple, he seems able to topple the entire edifice of policy.

Down crashes America's government machine, for the sake of Wall, world trade is devastated, stock market plummet, alliances lie in ruins. It is astonishing what one man can do to the world : virtually alone.

However, when an entire political establishment says a decision is made, I tend to think something in it must be right. Thus with Trump's announcement last month that he was pulling America's 2,000  troops out of Syria.

''They're all coming back, and they're coming back now,'' he tweeted emphatically. That he could do this after an amiable chat with Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and without telling his commanders, was staggering.

Trump instantly lost his defence secretary, James Mattis, and his Islamic State Expert, Brett McGurk, the former effectively accusing Trump of no longer ''protecting our way of life.''

Abroad, the Kurds were devastated, the Afghans unnerved, and Iran and Isis reportedly delighted.

Outrage came from democrats and Republicans alike, with the leading Republican senator Lindsey Graham pleading to reverse a decision that ''threatens the safety and security of the US''. Trump has now granted a stay of 120 days and a slower withdrawal.

Trump's argument is that getting out of America's wars was a campaign pledge.

The Syrian intervention was never meant to be permanent and had already crippled ISIS.

''People are going to have to start doing it a lot of their own work,'' he added, '' because the United States cannot continue to be the policeman to the world.''

To this, British's foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, meekly retorted that the US should stay in Syria ''to make sure the streets of  Britain are safe''. How or why this should be, he did not explain.

Years of American lives and treasure had done little, beyond killing thousands of civilians and flattening some of the oldest cities on Earth.

The US must be the safest country on the planet. It's home territory has never been so much as menaced by a foreign power, let alone invaded. 
The morass in which the US is wallowing in Mesopotamia, as in Afghanistan, has indeed become indefinite. Retreat is always heartbreaking to friends, and pleasing to the foes. It makes tearful, negative copy

Barack Obama tried to get out and lost his nerve. Trump is discovering why : it was through the vehemence and cynicism of pro-intervention lobbies, trumpeting national security.
