The Marmite president

People either love Marmite or hate it. It serves not just as a metaphor for opinions about President Trump, but for his policies as well.

The lesson from his first term failures, and doubtless from observing Argentina’s President Millie, are that if you hit the ground running you can swamp all opposition. With so many executive orders issued on his first day plus their rapid implementation, Trump’s critics were thoroughly confused and unable to organise cohesive opposition to his plethora of policies.

But observing his general direction of these executive orders and his comments on other matters, we can form an initial picture which we may modify when his new administration beds in. An example where there seems bound to be an about-turn is on the promotion of cryptocurrencies. Does the government establishment really want to promote an anti-dollar?
