  1. Dear Mr Anderson and Mr Clapper, Isn’t the greatest single thing unfolding with the off-the-wall declarations and unpresidential behavior from President Trump is that it shows how resilient the US constitution and the US government is to someone who is having a nervous breakdown or something to that nature? What is astounding is how Mr Clapper and his associates are going about their business and not letting their feathers get ruffled and not threatening to stop Trump at any price. It is remarkable how calm and collected the intelligence services are in not responding to Trump’s clowning. If the same thing happened in some of the countries Trump has been touting as good friends, there would be sniper fire and a news blackout. A new president would be ‘elected’, and all opposition would be silenced. The press would be banned. It is reassuring to see how in the USA the FBI is not showing any aggressive reaction to Trump’s comments; it makes the system look like a democratically led government. Innocent until proven guilty. It is amazing how Congress is multi-tasking to do their regular jobs but also continued down the path of investigations into Trump’s alleged crimes. Trump’s greatest legacy is to show to the world that democracy is alive and well in America and that the American constitution can endure poor governance by an elected president. It is not bullet-proof, it is far from perfect, but the US constitution can’t be destroyed by a rogue president breaking every rule and tradition and discarding protocol. Trump has shown the weak points in the system, and brought things to a halt because no one imagined someone could use the law to wreak havoc on the government itself. He has made it clear there needs to be an upgrade across the board. The US Senate looks like they have lost their role in the governing process; Congress looks weak and ineffective. Trump may be the best thing that could happen to the US government, because we all know when he’s gone and there’s someone of quality in The White House the problems the world faces are off-the-charts. You’re going to need to have a lean and mean government to overcome what this way comes: Climate emergency, financial melt-down, global instability, the list goes on. Keep up the good work!
