The world is under the thumb of a madman and so far, no one has any idea what to do about it.

If allowed to continue at his current pace of destroying U.S. foreign relations and international partnerships, while fueling the flames of America's racial and ethnic differences, Donald Trump could go down in history as the tool Vladimir Putin used to make Russia great again. Podcast below

Everyday this story rages on without a humanitarian solution, is another day of repeated history. And, its because this story is repeated history, is all the more reason why it must be observed carefully and documented accurately. After all, this is the summer the United States withdrew from the U.N. Human Rights Council. So, I want to be able to tell people this is the summer I saw the internment camps being built to house migrants by the tens of thousands with my own eyes. I want to be able to say this was the summer I saw what a prison for young children looked like. But mostly, I want to be able to say this is the summer the President of the United States said judges, courts and due process was just making a mockery of good immigration policy

One can only hope Europe and rest of the free world is no longer taking its cues from the United States because the message being sent from this administration would be devastating to the 68.5 million refugees forced to flee their homes due to war, violence, and persecution worldwide in 2017. This summer, the United States is pitching building walls, closing doors and throwing the welcome mat away. Migrants are no longer wanted. So, don't call us, we'll call you. And it's all being done under the guise of making America Great Again.

Whenever elected officials, reporters, and human rights organizations are barred from unfettered access to U.S. government-run facilities and are forced to smuggle photos out of them, it should raise red flags, eyebrows and lots of questions. It should raise concerns that something is going on that the average citizen would not approve of. And the abuse of children would certainly qualify. So, the longer the Trump administration keeps operating these facilities in secret, the more people will raise their voices in protest. Something is not right and we the people must keep raising this issue until we find out what's really going on behind the government's closed doors.

Trump Loses

Without having any idea what really transpires during Donald Trump's calls to and from other world leaders, its impossible to know what's really being said, really been understood or really agreed upon. And since Trump is not only unfamiliar with the truth, but lacks enough common sense to recognize it when it's being presented to him, one can only speculate why the snickers he once received behind his back have now turned to sneers. Could it be Putin the Puppetmaster pulling the strings?

While the United States has enjoyed being king of the mountain for the last 60 years, the world is changing and changing rapidly. The days of America telling the international community when to jump and how high are coming to an end as national pride and demands for mutual respect begins to blossom in every corner of the globe. Sure, the U.S. can still shakedown the weaklings on the playground, but the other big boys are banning together to punch back.

Donald Trump is clearly acting like someone who has something to hide and it's Robert Mueller's job to find out what. With the cast of characters Trump cavorts with, Mueller could easily uncover crimes of tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, and bribery. Let's face it, Donald Trump is a New York businessman. That's how business is conducted in this city until you do something stupid like run for public office. Smart crooks like to stay in the shadows. And with a high profile shark and self-described "fixer" like Michael Cohen kept on retainer, we may be astounded by the amount of dirt this Special Counsel could be in the process of unearthing about America's dirt-bag-in-Chief.

North Korea, South Korea, China, and Russia have correctly calculated Donald Trump will not be reelected. Therefore, their strategy is to placate until Trump vacates. In little more than two years, the world will happily welcome a new and hopefully more reasonable and rational U.S. leader to engage with. The restoration of sanity in the Oval Office will restore much-needed confidence and certainty that's been sorely lacking during these dark times the Trump administration brought upon the international community. Keep your finger crossed, it won't be much longer.
