    There are a few believe it or not. Trump Not instigating wars, giving the BBC a comeuppance. A very smug sanctimonious and subtly jingoistic organisation.

    Trump is more focused on trade deals and American self interest. Less American interference in the world. Allows the EU etc a chance to fill the vacuum. If the EU is smart it should start positioning itself to do so.

    Personally I don’t tune into Kenny for Trump stuff. That has been done to death. It bores me.

    I dip in cases like the Irish Presidential elections where Kenny was by far the most astute and well prepared interviewer. He didn’t let any candidate away with bluffers answers or obfuscation.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    It's a public service to spotlight what Trump & Co. are doing to the US .

    If you stop being annoyed it just helps to normalize the madness.

    Not instigating wars? He bombed Iran! Hes threatened military action against Nigeria and Venezula as well as hinting at invading Greenland.

    He hasn't made a single real trade deal. His tariffs on other countries has resulted in increased prices for US consumers. He claims the tariffs are bringing in trillions but the real figure is 88 billion all paid for by the US.

    No boots on the ground invasions etc. Was a “war” declared? Sure Bill Clinton bombed Somalia etc rarely mentioned these days.

    Under Trump there is a notable no policy of “regime change” in countries which don’t align with American interests.
    It has been the modus operandi of many American Presidents to force Regime change. Either covertly or overtly American administrations in the past have caused the overthrow of even democratically elected sovereign states where it suits their purpose. Chile in the 70’s, Iran in the 50’s, Iraq in the 90’s.

    Trump does not have an interest in that it seems. As for Pat Kenny’s obsession with Trump, I just tune out. We are in Ireland, Irish and EU issues exercise me far more.

    Trump and America is a distant sideshow as far as I am concerned. Some Irish people get so wrapped up in Trump, you would think they are American.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
