The World At Home
While I await Beto O’Rourke’s decision whether or not to run for US President in 2020, I want to resume my discussion of some of the myths Donald Trump has continued to promote during his presidency. But before I continue: if you are wondering how such a bold-faced liar could have ever been elected, you must first understand how ill-informed roughly half of American voters are.
The World At Home
SINCE I’m still not 100 per cent certain that Beto O’Rourke will be running for US president in 2020, I will devote this column to discussing some of the myths that President Donald Trump has promoted about himself throughout his business and political career.
The World At Home: Charles Laffiteau’s Bigger Picture
I BEGIN 2019 by expressing my belief that Beto O’Rourke will succeed Donald Trump as America’s 46th president on 20 January 2021. As some of this newspaper’s readers may recall, I made a similar prediction about a first-term Senator from Illinois named Barack Obama back in March 2007, 11 months before the first presidential contest, the January 2008 Iowa caucuses.
We will never give up our right to return
After US president Donald Trump’s shameful displays of racism, sexism and Islamophobia in his own country, he came for me personally.
Charles Laffiteau's Bigger Picture
On 16 July, the world witnessed something the likes of which we have never before seen in the post-war era. What was most notable about US President Donald Trump’s Helsinki summit meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin was the fact that for the first time in history, an American president told the world that the word of an ex-KGB agent was more believable than the overwhelming evidence gathered by America’s foreign and domestic intelligence agencies. So it should come as no surprise that a majority of Americans also now believe Russia has “compromising information” on President Trump.
The World At Home : Charles Laffiteau's Bigger Picture
The Trump property at 40 Wall Street in New York City has long been the current US president’s most valuable single asset. But many real estate professionals now argue that the 30 per cent stake Donald Trump holds in Vornado Realty Trust is actually worth more than the Trump Building or Trump Tower.
Trump is not the man for a Nobel Prize
On a visit to the US earlier this month, Britain’s foreign secretary Boris Johnson suggested that President Donald Trump should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Charles Laffiteau's Bigger Picture: The World at Home
What is US President Donald Trump more afraid of? That Robert Mueller’s investigation would uncover more ties between his business interests and Russian mobsters? Or that Mueller would reveal he is worth far less than the $10bn he claims? Or is he more afraid of the general public discovering he is now and has always been far less wealthy than he professes to be?
Charles Laffiteau's Bigger Picture
I found it interesting that a week after the FBI raid on the home and offices of Michael Cohen, US President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, a business associate of Cohen’s in the New York taxi cab business – Evgeny Friedman, the so-called ‘Taxi King’ – agreed to a new plea deal that did not include prison time.
China’s growing challenge to US as world’s top superpower
The recent visit by Donald Trump to China appears to have been a cultural and political shock for the US president, who is beginning to come to terms with the reality that China’s leader, President Xi Jinping, is about to become the most powerful political figure in the world.
