VIDEO-The world according to Trump; unashamedly white, and right | euronews, world news

"Foreign bureaucrats are going to be controlling what we're using and what we're doing on our land in our country? No Way"

Until now Donald Trump has got to where he is, the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting, with a mixture of bluster and boasts, a simplistic formula that chimes with Americans fed up with the established parties.

He has been notably policy-light, but with the nomination sewn up, Trump is now making policy pronouncements to send shivers down the spines of many.

America first is his credo, an America that is rich, and great again. He wants to run the country like a company; his critics say he will run America, and the rest of the world, into the ground.

Recently speaking to the AIPAC American Jewish gathering he announced a significant change in company policy were the White House to fall under Trump management.

“We will move the American embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem,” he promised, to huge applause.

He has declared admiration for President Vladimir Putin, and says he is ready to talk with North Korea’s Kim jong Un, while he is already squaring up to take on China.

“I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him. At the same time I would put a lot of pressure on China. We have tremendous power over China. China can solve that problem with one phone call,” says Trump.

Trump’s simplistic vision of the world continues into radical Islam and the war on it. While Washington and the checks and balances in the American system ensure much of this should be watered-down, on this evidence Trump could be a wrecking ball in terms of foreign policy.

On Thursday he delivered the cherry on the cake, promising to build a pipeline cancelled by President Obama on environmental grounds, and to ignore yet anotherinternational treaty.

“So foreign bureaucrats are going to be controlling what we’re using and what we’re doing on our land in our country? No Way. We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement.”

Trump’s populism and appeal seems undamaged as yet by polls indicating women loathe him for his sexism, and that latino voters loathe him for his racism.

Despite writing off these huge sections of the electorate, some of those same polls suggest he could beat Hillary Clinton. For the hitherto hostile Republican bigshots, this is all that matters now.
