What your members of the Government can learn from Donald Trump!

It has been four weeks since the inauguration of the new president of the United States. Prior to his election, his announcements already left the world startled. In the following, his ten most important statements shall be commented critically:

1.)	Villainize the political opponent, make verifiably false allegations, repeat them often enough and the masses will believe it.
		As Christians, we believe in the Ten Commandments. But the Ninth Commandment is very often forgotten. It states: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour…
2.)	Constant repetition of allegations and verifiable lies will make them seem believable.
		In social networks it seems to be becoming a sport to spread fakes (fake news) and to feed off the catastrophic effect. Just think of the little Russian girl in Berlin that was supposedly kidnapped and abused by immigrants. In truth such a little girl never existed.
3.)	Praise protectionism, glamorize it and promise that this will make everything better.
		By example of the Brexit in England we will be able to study the consequences of such a Brexit. It is easy to forget that besides a history of once being the biggest pirates, the British had the British East India Company which traded with India on a large scale and thus substantially contributed to the prosperity of England in the 18th and 19th century.
4.)	Declare an absolute stop of immigration and demonize immigration.
		Aside from the few 100.000 native American Indians, the entire population of the United States is composed of over 300 million immigrants. One should rather say “back to the roots”.
5.)	Immigrants are a burden for every country, consisting of child molesters and rapists and will take away jobs from US citizens.
		The founders of Google, Amazon, Uber and Tesla are US citizens in the second generation. In Silicon Valley for example, one of the largest sources and breeding grounds of newest technical know-how, there are thousands of employees from China, India and other countries on staff.
6.)	Bad-mouth lawyers and the entire judicial system and reap the scornful applause of the crowds.
		A modern democracy is only able to function via the separation of powers – executive branch, legislative body and judicial. Whoever does not accept this does not want democracy.
7.)	Abolition of Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare)
		For Germany it remains the outstanding achievement of Bismarck who introduced a pension and healthcare system. Even if these systems were later made worse with so-called corrections, where would we be today without these laws? In the United States there is no compulsory insurance and thus millions of citizens are left without healthcare.
8.)	Pretend to want to provide jobs for the unemployed.
		In Germany we have a federal employment agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit) as well as local employment agencies (Arbeitsagenturen). It was the final big achievement of former Chancellor Schröder to introduce the Agenda 2010 which was very effective despite being unpopular. The United States consist of 50 federal States with independent administrations and legislation which failed to purposefully eliminate unemployment – just as the French, Spanish, Italian and British governments failed to do. One example from Germany is the Ruhrgebiet (an area around the river Ruhr comprising of industrial cities such as Essen, Duisburg, Bochum and others). Up until the end of WWII the area was entirely dependent upon coal and steel and managed to create an entirely new industrial structure after the war.
9.)	The United States have a poor standard of education and while Mr. Trump attended university it appears that he was more concerned with baseball because it seems that he never saw the inside of one of the elite universities of the United States, which certainly convey an excellent education.
		Our school system of primary school (Grundschule), secondary school (Realschule), community school (Gemeinschaftsschule) etc. offers adolescents excellent options so that they do not have to go through life illiterate. And with the dual system of vocational school and practical experience in the industry we may have the best system to prepare young people for their jobs. I am surprised that the German school system is not copied by governments around the world.
10.)	Immediate implementation of all campaign pledges
		These actions of Mr. Trump surprised everyone and should be a role model for every politician, to implement campaign pledges within four years and not to beat around the bush for four years without any substantial achievements (e.g. fiscal reforms, estate tax).

So what do we learn from Mr. Trump? The vast bulk is not recommended for imitation. But what do we learn from this? Especially in the upcoming election campaigns this year.

Happy New Year!

Dear readers,
For the start of the New Year I have found a little story which I find very nice:

The black dot: .

One day, a professor walked into class and suggested a pop quiz. He proceeded to hand out the test papers, face down as usual. He then asked his students to turn over the paper and to begin.

To everyone‘s surprise there were no questions – only a black dot in the middle of the page. The professor proceeded to explain the following: “I would ask you to please write down what you see.” The students were confused but started writing. At the end of class, the professor collected the papers and began to read the answers out loud. Without exception, all students had described the black dot – its position in the middle of the page, proportions, relation to the paper etc.

The professor smiled and said:

“I wanted to give you an assignment to think about.

Nobody wrote anything about the white part of the paper.

Everybody concentrated on the black dot – and the same thing happens in our life. We are given a white piece of paper to use and to enjoy. But we only concentrate on the black dots.

Our life is a gift that we should care for with love and diligence. There is truly always a reason to celebrate – nature renews itself every day, our friends, our family, work which provides for our existence, the wonders we see every day ...

But we only concentrate on the dark spots – health issues, lack of money, a complicated relationship to a family member, the disappointment in a friend, expectations etc.

The dark spots are small in comparison to everything that we have in life, but they are what occupies our thoughts and darken our soul.

Take note of the black spots but turn your attention more towards the entire white paper and the possibilities and happy moments in your life and share it with other people!”

On this note I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year with lots of beautiful moments

Very best regards

W. ENDRICH
