Kongkiat: Thailand wird Nachteile durch die Wahl Trumps haben

In New Mandala wo bisher fast ausschliesslich Australische und US
Uni Absolventen die nie in Thailand gelebt haben Thaksins Democrazy
verteidigten gab es folgenden Beitrag von einer US Rechtsanwältin:

Sally Tyler examines the similarities and differences of two very divisive politicians — and what the future might hold for both of them.

With their self-promotion and showmanship, the political personas of Thaksin Shinawatra and Donald Trump more closely resemble legendary circus impresario PT Barnum than they do most politicians.

Now that the US national electorate is poised to hand Trump a major loss, and with Thai royal succession potentially giving an indirect boost to Thaksin Shinawatra’s rehabilitation campaign, it is timely to examine the similarities and differences of these outlier political figures, and the disparate roles they could assume in 2017 and beyond.

Both men are billionaires who have avoided financial transparency and have marketed false narratives of themselves as self-made. Another trait common to their political rise was a level of media savvy hitherto unseen in their respective national campaigns. Trump’s ascent, in particular, reflects the growing influence of social media. His facile use of the provocative soundbite is demonstrative of a culture in which attention spans last only as long as the time it takes to text a 140-character insult.

Yet, Trump’s undisciplined Twitter rants and inability to refrain from taking the rhetorical bait Hillary Clinton skillfully dangled before him in debates made him appear increasingly unhinged to voters. In contrast, Thaksin’s series of infrequent, carefully-timed print interviews throughout the long prelude to royal transition allows him to continue to strategically influence the show from off-stage.

A key difference which has contributed to Trump’s imminent defeat and to Thaksin’s potential re-emergence is their inverse campaign organisational skills. Lambasted as vote-buying by the elites who shunned him, Thaksin’s political machine was clearly capable of turning out support needed to win an election.

In contrast, Trump demonstrated an almost total absence of campaign organisation. From his first loss in the Iowa caucuses, a contest which can only be won by a meticulous, precinct-by-precinct ground game, it became apparent that his campaign was fueled by superficial dynamism and the freakish enthusiasm it engendered in some quarters. This is a deficiency he would have to remedy were he to re-enter the political fray, as his initial cachet will have dulled — the same way a Star Wars action figure loses value when it is taken out of the box.

Another difference is that, corruption aside, Thaksin enhanced his stature with voters through populist policies that actually benefitted low-income workers, such as the 30-baht health scheme. Trump has offered few specifics on domestic social policy throughout the campaign, other than a childcare tax relief program that would have primarily helped upper-income parents.

Natürlich auch eine Thaksinjodlerin ohne Ahnung von Thiland.
Und natürlich auch vollkommen falsch in ihrer Einschätzung
des US Wahlausgangs.(Der Beitrag war vom 4.11.)
Aber diese Abweichlerin wurde von Thaksins PPT
so ernst genommen dass man eine noch längere Verteidigung
Thaksins brachte und in dieser Trump mit Prayuth verglich
um von der verblüffenden Ähnlichkeit von Trump und Thaksin
abzulenken.Der PPT Beitrag ist von Heute!

Einfach mal abwarten! Da liegt noch was in der Luft.
Ich beobachte zur Zeit die deutsche Bank.

AndrewMc. Gregor Marshal hat für Thaksins khaosod schon das richtige Foto
zusammengestellt.
Wenn Trump zu einem Thai passt so ist dies Thaksin.
Seine anderen Hetzblättchen Prachathai und PPT
hinken noch hinterher.

STIN: genau da könnte es haken. Beginnt die USA mit China nun einen Handelskrieg, könnte durchaus ASEAN mit reingezogen werden.
Ist nicht zu abwegig.

Wer kann daran glauben das zukünftigt I-Phones und der ganze andere Ami Quatsch
der derzeit in China produziert wird zukünftig wieder in den USA gefertigt wird?
Wer soll dies tun und zu welchem Lohn?
Ich war schon 1969 in den USA als all die US Errungenschaften im Land
gefertigt wurden!
Ohne Japaner und Europäer gäbe es bis heute keine funktionierende
und haltende Autos,Kühlschränke,Fernseher,Air Conditioner
und all die anderen US Wunderwerke.
Und die Chinesen finanzieren die Amis damit sie sich die
in China gefertigten „US Produkte“ kaufen können.
