    How does bullying and chickening out constitute strength?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Every single thing that Trump does screams pathetic insecurity and weakness.

    There is nothing whatsoever about him that demonstrates strength or actual leadership.

    On a positive note he won the Club World Cup on Sunday, his team mates looked delighted he was there to celebrate…

    Yes, but that doesn't mean there aren't positives to be taken from his term.

    None for America, I hasten to add, but as I heard an economic historian describe it the other day, 'Trump is reducing dependence on America, encouraging diversification, making everyone else talk to each other and innovate'.

    So after all of this, America will end up smaller, poorer, weaker and more isolated. But thats their problem.

    In the same way that Brexit proved a colossal opportunity for Ireland, that was grabbed, the Trump presidency will Make Europe Great Again, only it will be done with new partnerships in Asia and the Americas.

    You missed the real positive note: he was roundly booed. And that was in Florida; imagine if it were in L.A.
