And So It Goes

Not wasting any time.
Donald Trump’s Indonesian business partner, a billionaire developer and media mogul, has announced he might run for president in Indonesia’s 2019 elections.

“If there is no one I can believe who can fix the problems of the country, I may try to run for president,” Hary Tanoesoedibjo told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “Not for myself, for the country,” he said.

Oh, sure, sure. Of course.
Known locally as Hary Tanoe, the tycoon is building two Trump developments – a 100-hectare, six-star luxury resort on the coast of Bali and a resort outside Jakarta with a championship golf course.

[...]

His company, Global Mediacom, also known as MNC Group, saw stocks rise significantly when Trump won the election in November.

Tanoe said he has “access” to Trump although it was limited and most of his contact regarding the joint developments was with the president-elect’s adult children; Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka. “Each of them has different roles. Don Jr has responsibility for the overall project, Eric the design and golf, and Ivanka more of detail – the fit-out of the hotel,” he said.
How long before we simply have corporate CEOs as presidents of all the countries on earth?  They already rule it.

What do you want to bet that Trump won't actually stop TPP, like he said he'd do, but merely make it more advantageous for his own interests?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
