What is with you and Donald Trump? Why does he make you an enthusiast for the monarchy? American politics looks weird to any European. Unfortunately the British speak the same language, so they can be more shocked than the French and the Germans. It's always been a circus. Look at Andrew Jackson way back when. Not very sophisticated, huh? But remember that politicians here have to compete for attention with Hollywood and TV programs, the internet, and Star Wars games. If they make outrageous comments,it's to get attention and be heard. The fact that America can take politics so lightly shows who is really in charge here: big business. The business of America is business said Calvin Coolidge. What I think Donald Trump may really be after --- don't freak out when I say this --- is the ambassadorship to Great Britain, or the Court of St. James. Traditionally this perk position is given to a high roller who can throw his money and weight behind the guy who wins. If a Republican wins, don't be surprised. You heard it here first. Even FDR had to play at this game. He made Joe Kennedy Ambassador to Great Britain at an even more serious moment in history, and Kennedy almost caused a disaster. Why did he give it to Kennedy? Because he was so rich. That's America, for you. Money above all.
