Why Horrified

The author of this article, Paul Krugman, shows his doubt and anger about the consequence of the election while he is also worried about the future of his home nation, the United States, and feeling clueless about where is this world tends to be going by sharing his opinions. I was shocked when I was reading his thoughts, maybe I should say many of the Americans thoughts because I was left out of too much information of this country and this election. However, this article can't change my perspective of both Trump and Hilary based on what I had written in the past.

From the article, I strongly feel that he is unsatisfied with Donald Trump, not only for him being the new president but also for his character. Paul simply summarized how much Trump will affect the political, economy, and people both nationally and globally in his article with strong emotion.
Start with globally effect. Paul especially concerns about the climate change because Trump doesn’t believe that climate change is real but a fraud created by Chinese. At this point, I can't agree with Trump's opinion anymore just like Paul. Climate change has been affecting our living environments and every creature on earth in decades which had already proved by scientific evidence.


The influence of global warming which is also referred as "climate change" is conspicuous, such as, the rising of sea level, global temperature, the shrinking of ice sheets, and so on. Every country, maybe even everyone in this world has some responsibility of causing this happened, it is not "a hoax promoted by Chinese", it is the outcome of the pollution of science and technology by what human created.

How good God is that he has such a mercy to us even we are one of His two failures, another one is Satan. He gave us everything but we still keep making our own things which are damaging our physical home that God made for us. I'm not saying what the inventors had invented are evil but what makes us so unsatisfied with what we are having in our hands that we need to "create" something by using our limited knowledge instead of being thankful to God who represent the real "wisdom"?

Paul brings up the word "truth" in the article several times for even a liar can become a president of a nation. I understand citizens are eager for what is really going on in their country, but who can always be honest about what they are saying or doing instead of God? Before those who cry and beg for an honest man or woman to become the president, why can't they realize who is actually the "truth" ?

Furthermore, God has His purpose for every single one of us. Trump becomes the president is part of His plan for us, for America, and for the world. Although Trump seems like he has the power to maybe push everyone to hell, he's not. I believe in one old saying, the good is yet to be. God is the only one who actually has the power to either spend eternity with us in the heaven or destroy us. If you are a real Christian, don't question God. I'm not trying to protect Trump but trying to make those who think the "2012" is coming again to think in a positive way.


Combine my personal opinion from last blog and the knowledge I learned from the article, the only thing I can say is, take things when they come. Neither Trump or Hilary can please everyone for being the president of America, none of them will do a perfect job to make this country continually walking on the road it supposed to be. God knows what His favorites are going through, instead of being concern, angry, or depressing about this decision, why not put faith in God, the only One who does all the good works?

Liar vs. Lunatic

Donald Trump's success wasn’t a surprise for me. I watched the first President Debate and also read many articles about this two president candidates. If I need to vote, I will rather vote for a lunatic than a liar. We can't help those who say a lot of  "fine words" or "polite remarks" to make us feel good in our lives, even they don't want to please us or don't do what they say.  Of course, there are also many people who speak what they actually think and do their work. Personally, I don’t want any people like above in my life but I don’t have a choice. Same as Americans, but the only difference is, everyone has a choice to be a president in the United States.


In my personal perspective, there are something Donald Trump is admirable and he is also talented. He earned about two hundred thousand dollars before he graduated Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and tapped into Manhattan where his dad dare not go to make the first step of his road to fame. Although he already succeeded in real estate, he didn't stop clearing up other professions. He is a well known, best selling author who published 16 books, and also a host of a reality show, The Apprentice, which made about 2.13 billion dollars.

Everything Donald Trump has received can not be measured without business. However, he can't persuade people by being a successful business man. Think about Arnold Schwarzenegger, he was the former governor of California who was well known for being a famous bodybuilder, had didn’t have much political knowledge, and made California worse than before. From an objective perspective, Schwarzenegger's time in position was the most difficult eight years for California by the financial crisis and the mess created by the last governor.


Experience is importance, but that is not the core. Hilary Clinton definitely has much more political knowledge than Trump, but she didn’t win. I remember she kept saying her husband was the forty-second president and how many years she has been schedule things for the people. I very appreciate her speech but I can't fall into her trap by listening to her talk tale. If she really wants to do something for the Americans, why didn't she do them early when she was in her position? If that's a weapon for her to try to win popular support or become a president, why did she accidently give money to ISIS for them to buy weapons and vowed that she would protect America from ISIS?
 

Compare listening to Hilary's lies I rather listen to Trump's balderdash. Trump said a lot of crazy things, such as, he is going to build a 1300 miles wall at Mexico Border, and he will make Mexico pays. I know this sounds impossible, but don’t forget he wrote a letter to the New York government for taking the place of maintaining the public rink. He only used four months to maintain by using 2.5 million dollars. However, the government gave up on this project by six months maintaining and wasted 1300 million dollars. People pay tax for making their lives better by living in this country, not for the government to waste it with any unaccomplished work that will affect their lives or to make the enemies even stronger.


As a result, although Trump and Hilary both have something I can't agree with, I don’t think there are not any possibilities for Trump to accomplish his words The record shows he has the ability to solve difficulties even the government couldn’t work out. Trump is the one points out the problems this country has but Hilary is the one trying to hide all of them or say them in a better way.
Lies can’t win truth. People are tired of listening to all the political talking, they want to hear the truth about how will their next president make their country better. Congratulations to Trump, and hope he will be better than Obama.

Democracy or Communism

Different countries have different policies to fit in. George Washington decided that democracy was the suitable way to help the United States to become the best country in the world, and communism was the for the Chinese to become solitary.


China is more familiar to me than the United States. I had been taught that Chinese Communist Party is sacred, and it is glorious to become one of the members of the Party. The contribution that Mao had accomplished with our party members is indelible to our nation. He was a great leader before he started the Culture Revolution. It caused immeasurable influence to GDP, the fall of traditional Chinese culture and morality, death of tens of thousands people, the countless destruction of historical relics, and the result of it was the loss of people's loyalty and reliance to Mao and the Party Members.

According to my analysis by studying Chinese modern history,  Mao's motivation of starting the Culture revolution was to protect his power and position that might be taken from a heinous crime he made.

From the Culture Revolution, we can see two negative effects from communism. Frist, the reason why Mao had the ability to make Culture Revolution happened was he had almost all the power in his hand. People think about what Mao did in the past when Xi become the "core" of Chinese Communist Party. I understand their concern but the generation is different. Back to Mao's time, people needed someone to save them and the country, but now, people need someone to develop their country.

Second, communism makes the government of the country too strong, which means everything belongs to your country. For example, if you work hard on keeping a factory running, but no matter what that factory doesn’t belong to you, would you want to do your job?  Even if you don’t work at all, you can still get your payment every month. Why do you need to work then? I know Mao wanted everyone at least wouldn't starve everyday when he made this policy but the defect cannot be ignored because it increased the percentage of corruptions and incapable officials. Xi has been doing a good job of firing those corrupt officials and lowing down the privilege to all those who work for the government.

I know this phenomenon happens everywhere. This makes me think of what Hilary said about giving some benefits to middle-class people. Isn’t it the same thing as what Mao did back in his time? If those people don’t need to pay to get into college and become one of the members of the government of the United States, what do you think they can do except for still being lazy? The result of the corruption slower the development of China's GDP even it seems like our GDP is increasing a lot outwardly.

I have no authority to deny either one policies from two powerful countries. I wished our country can change to democracy but when I have some understand of how bad of gun controlling in America, I'm really thankful about we are a communism country. However, we don’t have such freedom than American citizens. It's hard to imagine if America became a communism country. What makes America so powerful now is the unique policy, democracy, and it also forms America's culture.


In a conclusion, the policies should not take any censure because we are those who came out with them, and besides, why can't the policies work if they worked before? Why can't people figure challenges out from another point of view instead of saying everything's wrong?
