Today Donald J. Trump became the 45th President of the United States. There are protests on 5th Avenue and some are turning violent, the Clinton crowd has set fires, blocked traffic for hours, smashed a newspaper office, it is out of control.
So I am sure Bolivia is watching the outcome and preparing for a new jefe in los EEUU. The former jefes were not good to Bolivia; Bush treated it with contempt and US spies and diplomats were expelled; Obama did much the same, insisting that Bolivia be treated as a drug dealing haven when in fact Bolivia got rid of lots of drug dealers as it got rid of the DEA, and Clinton, as Secretary of State, had little love for Bolivia.
The left has tried to scare people away from Trump, while hiding the truth about Clinton raping a woman, hanging our with child molesters, etc etc. It refused to hear the truth about Clinton either on Wikileaks or on the show www.dialectradio.co.uk - where a former navy intel op talked about secret deals in Syria, Jellyfish, and secret ops against Bolivia. Oh no, they did not have time to hear the truth. Instead, the left spent time on hysterical propaganda and predicted massive market drops if he was elected. No such thing. Markets are fine. And they said Trump would divide.
In fact, when Trump won, he reached out. He called Obama and had a nice conversation, consoled Clinton, and told the American people it was time to heal. That is what made the left mad. They wanted him to act like a mad bully, instead, he acted presidential. They were proven wrong, and they are afraid Clinton might go to jail. And along with her, lots of evil American politicians, some of whom have mistreated Bolivia.
While I cannot say Bolivia is Mr Trump's #1 agenda, I do have some inside information that Mr Trump is discussing how to really reach out to Bolivia. He has some respect for Evo Morales and the economic moves that Mr Morales has made, Trump is a businessman and knows the value of hard work. The fact that the Bolivian president works all day and has little sleep sometimes in order to improve his country is not lost on the Trump crew.
So expect better relations there. It will surprise the left in the US.
In a couple of weeks, the Bolivian Vice President, Alvaro Garcia Linera, will be in New York. While I cannot attend, I have good friends and founders of Amigos de Bolivia who will be at his talk at Columbia University, and they hope to reach out to him and perhaps bring the US and Bolivia closer together.
So far we have some good harbingers of this new era in American history. The president is NOT from the Yale elite (as are Bush and Clinton). He is NOT against minorities, though he did take a tough stance against ILLEGAL ALIENS - some of whom rape and murder people.
I am sure that Bolivia is against such crimes, and for economic development, as is Donald Trump and Amigos de Bolivia. We look forward to writing more about the future relationship between Mssrs. Trump and Morales. This could be the start of something really good for the whole world.

I really hope that the Bolivian government can work with the US. Trump is not the monster the left wing press tried to make him to be, in fact, women who they misquoted are now suing the New York Times because in fact Trump was good to women - see the Linda Stasi article in the New York Daily News, and that is LEFT WING and hates Trump. So facts are facts. Bolivia treats women well too. Trump made some mistakes but they were a long time ago and his wife is behind him so that says a lot. All the best to Trump and Bolivia I am sure this will be a very good meeting when the Vice President sees some members of Amigos de Bolivia here in NY.
ReplyDeleteTrump could be a friend of Bolivia. The GOP was not, but Trump went against the GOP, the Bushes and Romney are NOT his friends. The Democrats also worked against Bolivia, secretly working with a foreign power that wanted to monopolise Bolivia for mining.
ReplyDeleteNow there can be more free competition and investment if Trump and Bolivia sit down and talk. I hope that tomorrow Ken Gibson will be able to reach out in this transition period as an Amigos de Bolivia when he goes to the talk with the Bolivian Vice President.
The talk went well, we heard back from Ken, who was there along with Michael and Bruce. The VP had to fly right back to Bolivia as the funeral for Fidel Castro occasioned him to be back while the president paid his respects in Havana. So we could not invite the VP to anything this time, but will be reaching out to him again.
ReplyDeleteActually I hope Trump can work with them. He is busting up the GOP so there are things I like about him, there are things I don't. So let's see.
ReplyDeleteLuis Arce is doing a good job now as the president. He knows to avoid left wing hypocrites in the US. MAS is not about AOC or Biden. It is a party that far surpasses the US left and does not try to teach perversion in Bolivian schools or let criminals out of jail to attack the elderly. The US left is left out, far out and stupid. I look forward to future visits by Luis Arce to New York.
