Trump

What Donald Trump has done so far in just August!

• He has threatened to pull out of the WTO
• Two explosive court cases have revived speculation that President Trump himself may face legal proceedings. His former lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty in a New York court to violating campaign finance laws. Mr Cohen indicated that Donald Trump ordered the payment of hush money to the President's alleged former lovers. Meanwhile President Trump's former campaign chief, Paul Manafort, has been found guilty on eight charges of tax fraud, bank fraud and failure to disclose foreign bank accounts.

So it was a snap general election and a total failure! She's now worse off. Jeremy Corbyn is not strong enough, so he couldn't win; and the Euro thing continues. Meanwhile, Trump scares me more and more. He's a very bad man.

Theresa May

...in 15 minutes has an announcement to make! Snap election? War declared on the world? Decision not to the leave the EU?

I bet it's not. I bet it's something else. If it is a snap election - GOOD. Let's hope the opposition and Lib Dems can give her a good fight. Whoever wins has then got the right mandate.

However, I don't think she's got the guts.

North Korea and Syria

It seems President Trump has discovered the old adage: "War brings popularity". Yes, it's true: it worked very well in the ancient world up until the 20th Century. Now war brings fear; pain; misery and death on a scale unheard of. Why doesn't he try and find peaceful solutions? Let's hope he tries - but I suspect someone has told him that if he looks tough, the American people will forget all the silly stuff he's done so far. No, Mr President - the world has changed. Every mistake is on Google. Every success is on Google too - why not make a success of it? If only...

Imagine...

Imagine if John Lennon had not been assassinated? He would be Sir John Lennon now, and a grand-master of respect. This is what I think anyway. His song Imagine is so wonderful - the words in particular. It was released in 1971, but with President Trump and other things in the world, we are reminded how much we need to live together.

Here are the brilliant words:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

(Sir) John Lennon

Only one world

The people of this world still live in the past: a belief that it'll be alright in the end. No. There is only one earth. We have no where else to go. Please let's sort out the environment and protect our home for those who live in the future. We were really starting to get somewhere too: countries signing treaties; the US finally backing the need to make changes....but now...

..one of the most powerful men in the world: Donald Trump is a climate change denier. This saddens me so much. The world was finally getting somewhere and starting to make an effort to fix the global issues of climate change.

Can he not see? 2017 has started with less sea ice than ever before and there's still time to save it. See more, here.

Please Mr President. Please see that doing something about climate change would actually make you a real hero of the people. Your name would go down in history as the man who sorted out the world and made it good for everyone (and America!). Please Mr President, do the right thing and be amazing!

PS: This applies to Mrs Theresa May too - can you imagine how good she'll look in history if she did this amazing thing and cut emissions and used alternative power?

Waterboarding

US President Donald Trump has said he believes waterboarding works, saying "we have to fight fire with fire".

I am sorry, but what? Waterboarding is the practice of pouring water over someone's face to mimic drowning as an interrogation tactic.

It is widely considered as a form of torture and has been banned by the US.

Has the President not heard of: two wrongs don't make a right? If I punched a person; and then that person punched all of my family. Is that right? No. And, it won't end well either. As according to this theory, I can then go and punch all their friends and family.

We need to show that peaceful methods can fight wrong. We don't need to flex our muscles all the time. Let's be at peace.
