There's some suggestion he could be worse ::)
But having seen what happened to the Don then 'Sonny' may pull his head in...at least in the short term.

After watching footage from the World Economic Forum, it’s apparent that the heads of state/government taking part are intelligent, well-educated, considered, articulate and self-effacing … with one glaring exception!

During Taco’s “speech”, he ranted about “windmills”, complained about the “stolen” election, criticised the conditions of European countries (because of migration) before getting to the nub of the matter:

Denmark should give him Greenland, but his brain glitched and he began to demand Iceland and finally asked for “ice” 😳

Mad as a cut snake!

RedTrump is showing his true colours, launching a legal action against the US Government over leaked Tax information.

He is claiming US$10B in damages, yet his supporters keep telling everyone he is good for Joe Average, making life less expensive by telling them not to spend money. Because they will need the cash to pay the higher taxes and costs of living that come from settling his US$10B claim! ;)

Only morons would think this bloke is good for anybody except himself!

I think that train has well and truly left the station, with all the folks with an ounce of sense on board.

While Australia is bucking the trend of falling interest rates in major nations and raising rates Donald Trump has launched "Trump Accounts". What is it and how does it work?..glad you asked...

Every newborn in the USA will receive US$1,000 from the government, deposited into an investment account, with parents acting as custodians until age 18 (all children under 18 can still establish accounts)
The money is mandated to be invested in US equity ETFs or index funds.
Families, employers and charities can contribute up to US$5,000 per year
Accounts are locked until age 18, at which point funds can be used to buy a home, pay for education, or continue saving for retirement.
Access to the money may be linked to financial literacy requirements.

Now Im not normally a fan of anything Trump says or does but this isnt a bad idea imo. Taking into account inflation and to make the amount of money significant it will require extra contributions every year but it does have merit in encouraging saving and learning about investments and might get a proportion of the population interested enough to participate in a meaningful manner.

 At first glance the idea has merits.

"access to the money may be linked to financial literacy requirements..."

What's that mean?

Id suggest completing a certain standard of financial education which I presume will now become compulsory in high schools.
An interesting development is the big banks JPMorgan and Bank of America have announced they'll match the $1,000 government contribution for kids of their employees.
Its been mandated to start July 4th of this year and Id be guessing there would be qualifying technicalities with regards residency etc.

Didn't we fundamentally have such a thing years ago in primary school with the old CBA bank books?

At least once a week we'd all have to bring in our bank books and have the teacher bundle them up with some pennies to deposit as a learned savings scheme.

I can't see how that would work now, if it's online it'll be a target scheme for hackers, millions of less secure low value accounts that banks do not give a stuff about.

We used to do banking when I was in primary school.
Each week we'd bring a penny or two and get our bank book stamped.
I should chase it up.
There's probably a bit of interest to be collected. :D
