USA needs a good mental hospital for Trump

Surendra Dhakal

I am sure that the US president Donald Trump is mad. Some days back he said that Nepal and Bhutan are not

independent countries rather part of India. Trump should understand that India exists only as sub-continent but

never as an independent, sovereign and free country. There were hundreds of big and petty kingdoms in Indian sub-continent before it was unified under British colonial rule. The Indian Union left behind by the Britishers in 1947 could not be continued. When British withdrew its rule from Indian Subcontinent two countries

such as Pakistan and India emerged. Later in 70s India disintegrated Pakistan that helped emerge again

Bangladesh as a new country in South Asia. Trump had better say that Pakistan and Bangladesh are part of

India but not Nepal.

Nepal does not even belong to Indian Sub-continent because its territory does not touch Indian Ocean. Bhutan was infact a protectorate under British rule in India and after 1947 its defence and foreign policy has been handled by India under Indian Independence Act and India Bhutan Treaty of 1948.

I do not know what Mr. Trump’s academic degree is. His remarks prove that he neither has knowledge of world history nor does he have of world geography. I ask myself whether Trump knows that USA was

once a British colony that George Washington liberated in 1776. Already before 10 years of the independence of USA, Nepal in course of its unification under Great King Prithvi Narayan Shah, fought in 1767 against British colonial aggression and defeated English troops in the war of Sindhuligadi. The defeat as such was a big sock to British government at a time when Sun never set in British colonial empire. Even a Nepalese

child of class five has knowledge of such glorious past of Nepal’s sovereignty which president Trump lacks

and says that Nepal is the part of India.

On the other hand, Trump has started a trade war with China – a global trade competitor – is normal but his

decision to start a trade fight against his Europen allies is abnormal while he advocates an Indo-pasific Strategy for solely challenging a Chinese Belt Road Initiative. Similarly, he imposes high tarriff on import from China but gives priority to a better US-North-Korean relations to isolate China in South China Sea. He presents himself as anti communist when describes his relations with Venezuela but he tries to prove himself pro-communist when he meets KIM Jong Un.

He is old but has young wife and advocates against emancipation of women. His stupidity is as high as his concept of building a long wall along US-Mexican boarder which he even could not get through from the US Senete.

People say that CIA is intelligent enough to carry out its secret strategies worldwide but Trump became US president with strategic support of KGB. USA is a fertile land of the excellence but how US citizen

elected such a president as Trump? Is it only because a political party in USA should not win a presidential

election continuously for third time?

Donald Trump is shrewd that is why losing friends and increasing foes not only worldwide but already at home. US history proves that there were assasinations of good US presidents, now the time has come that it should also experience an assasination of a worst one.

Whenver I see Donald Trump in Newsmagazine or TV or somewhere, I ask myself whether US needs a very

good mental hospital to treat well a person like him.
