Trump, US Congress and the Shutdown

President Trump is the most insulted president alive. There is hardly anyone who has not insulted the president from members of his own administration to opposition party members to the news media who have declared war on the president. However, Trump seems to be calmer with every controversy building on him, i personally envy and respect his ability to handle all the negative comments about him.

Americans have not helped matters either, some people call him names and some times publicly. The current US government shutdown is as a result of Trump trying to fulfill his campaign promise of building a war between Mexico and the US. Democrats maybe fighting in vain to prevent this, the president is a man of his words and wont be move until his demands are met besides the war will be of greater benefit to the American population.

Congress should be bothered the effects of the shutdown. The world is wacthing. 

THE UN CHALLENGE

 The United Nations among other things was set up to resolve international wars and wars within sovereign states. However, the body seem to be failing in this regard as more countries are defying its decisions and rules. In recent years, we have seen the UN looking helpless while its member states shamelessly defy its orders. Its now a toothless dog as President Trump once said.

This is true especially when we consider the cases of North korea , Sudan, Russia etc. If this situation continues, the UN may end up like its predecessor the League Of Nations. We call on all relevant bodies and stake holders with the UN to look into this situation so as to avoid what happened during the second world War. One of the reasons the UN is loosing its powers is on the issue of Reform of its security Counsel. Personally, i think its high time the five permanent members of the UN are reviewed as this doing that will go a long way to restoring its relevance and powers.
