These people who want to see Trump gone have no clue what may result in the aftermath. My concern is global. This is far beyond Trump. We have chaos in Turkey, Argentina spilling over into other Emerging Markets. We have politicians trying to punish Britain\u00a0and German companies asking what are they just nuts in Brussels? Britain is the <strong>BIGGEST<\/strong>market for Germany cars in Europe. We have building uncertainty in Southern Europe. We have the head of Australia playing the game of musical chairs. We have new political parties emerging in Canada and Ireland. We have private debt concerns in China. We have South Africa following the mistakes of Zimbabwe and we have major change sweeping the Middle East. The discontent in Iran is building toward yet another revolution and in Japan, Abe Economics is failing. South America is in turmoil which has spread even to Mexico.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/3rd-Party-Array-2018.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-81177 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/3rd-Party-Array-2018.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/3rd-Party-Array-2018.jpg 668w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/3rd-Party-Array-2018-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/3rd-Party-Array-2018-600x454.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"668\" height=\"506\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In all honesty, throughout my career, there have been places that are in turmoil and it was crystal clear where capital would move.
