  1. Actually there were some really interesting comments from people like Mark Blyth and Richard Wolff about Trump and Trump supporters. If you look at the basic Trump supporter they are Baby Boomers and Gen Xers who DID NOT go to college. So they are people from working class backgrounds - factory workers, miners and other blue collar professions AND THEY GOT SMASHED by the globalisation of the 90s and 2000s. I'm Australia but went to college in America in the late 80s. I can remember staying with the families of friends at Thanksgiving and Christmas and meeting their high school friends who didn't go to college. So I have actually met people who would eventually become Trump supporters. They are NOT fundamentally bad people, but they have been so smashed over such a long time that they were just ripe for being taken advantage of by a charlatan like Trump. Add to that the media led by people like Rupert (yes I know he's Australian) Murdoch who just don't give a damn as long as they make money. There's no doubt this has already done massive damage to America and if its allowed to playout then that's even worse. Irrespective of if you like America (and I do) or hate it - America is still 1/4 of the worlds economy and the US$ is still the worlds reserve currency. On straight up economic grounds not even the Russians, Chinese or Iranians can afford for America to collapse. On security grounds it gets even worse. America does not simply have to deal with Trump and his minions it has to deal with its ingrained flaws. AND before you ask - YES Australia has many of the same or similar issues and we are also being just as stupid by ignoring most of them.
