Online Public Relations Thoughts

Trump's outrageous lies are jeopardizing Ukraine and western alliances and giving succour to Russia.  It will take years to overcome what he has done, and if Ukraine is lost, decades.  What has gotten into this man?  He is evil personified.  Will voters wake up to him and resist?  The next four years will tell, but by then it might be too late. 

How petty can you get?  Trump is hitting new lows.   

Protests against President Trump and Elon Musk erupted across the nation yesterday.  It won't make much difference in Trump's behavior nor Musk's for that matter.  They have insulated themselves from the public.  Yet the movement is important because in two years midterm elections are coming and citizens again have the opportunity to make their voices heard.  If there is deep unhappiness with Republicans for kowtowing to Trump and tolerating Musk, Democrats could take the House again and even the Senate.  The ultimate PR is the ballot box.

The internet is being assaulted with fake AI reviews of products and services.  This has an artificial positive and negative influence on companies that tolerate them.  What a fake review gives, a fake review can take away.  Smart businesses are removing them but hundreds of thousands of small companies don't have the wherewithall to detect and remove fakes.  So, they live with them for better or worse.  Meanwhile, the public is hoodwinked and harmed.  It is one more PR headache for business, which will only get worse.  

It was petty PR for Trump to change the name.  It has turned into a petty fight between Mexico and Google over Google's compliance with Trump.  There are more pressing issues than the name of the gulf.

Ukraine and its people are pawns in the negotiations between Russia and the US.  Their four years of self-defense mean nothing to Putin and Trump.  Putin has seduced Trump and will get what he wants.  It's a sad time for the Ukrainian people.  

President Trump said he could cut inflation the first day he was in office.  What now?  He has changed his tune recently and it looks like he will again and again.  Will voters remember?
