| A Seduction and Flirtation With America. |
If we believe that the 45th
President of United States wrote his own speech, and optimistically
consider the pledges given with his high conviction attitude, then indeed
our organisation's effort will be to hold him to the moral rectitude
/ uprightness he presented as a business man, and now as the most
powerful man in the World.
Our mechanism to enforce the President's veracity between rhetoric and reality is under our thesis of conveying his reputation. His past reputation is dubious not to say the least, but the stalwartness of his impressions and deeds in the Oval office is our time-line of watchfulness, under "NosmokeWithOutFire:OfReputation".
After internal dialogue, FPM have filtered the speech into three policy agenda, from the sworn-in administration:

His past reputation is dubious not to say the least, but the stalwartness of his impressions and deeds in the Oval office is our time-line of watchfulness, under "NosmokeWithOutFire:OfReputation".
After internal dialogue, FPM have filtered the speech into three policy agenda, from the sworn-in administration:
1)
Against the Status Quo Political-Corporate Agenda:
“We
are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to
you, the people.”
“Washington
flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories
closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of
our country.”
“January
20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers
of this nation again.”
“This
American carnage stops right here and stops right now.
“So
to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from
mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You
will never be ignored again.”
2)
Anti-Globalization of Trade, Migration, Etc:
“For
many decades we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of
American industry... We’ve defended other nations’ borders while
refusing to defend our own.”
“We’ve
made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence
of our country has disappeared over the horizon.”
“We
must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making
our product, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.
Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.”
“Every
decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will
be made to benefit American workers and American families.””
“We
will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.”
3)
Less Foreign Policy Intervention:
“We
do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it
shine as an example for everyone to follow.”
“At
the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United
States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will
rediscover our loyalty to each other.”
“We
will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again. We stand at
the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of
space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness
the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.”
In Brashness - So What?
In Brashness - So What?
FPM will be interpreting and tracking these broad scope Presidential pledges as they become specific policy commitment over the coming months. For example, TPP, which was already struggling to get passed in Washington under outgoing President Obama, is already shelved by incoming Trump administration under anti-globalisation theme. We believe we have identified an overriding principle that underpins some of the key themes.
For example, under the "Less Foreign Policy Intervention" mission, we expect the new administration to get congress and Senate to begin reducing its commitment to finance and support wars and regime-change in the Middle East. The war is not merely for oil! This would be due to America's reserves of oil being the largest already; but yet possibility of those energy reserves being a "redundant asset" under fossil fuel bans due to climate change concerns.
Like most of the Americans who voted for President Trump, FPM believe he represents maverick hope for a foundering economy and country, weighed down by US$ 20 trillion of National Debt and 40 years of neoliberal Friedman monetary policy economics.
Yet the newly inaugurated President of the United States said in his realty salesman pitch style:
"From this day forward, a new
vision will govern our land."
