Hello and welcome my name is Christopher Spring it thanks for joining us a year into Donald Trumps presidency the u. S. Remains a country racked by Political Division on the very day marking the First Anniversary of trump swearing in ceremony the federal government has shut down after congress failed to reach a last minute deal on spending it means government workers will be staying at home halting all but the most essential operations recriminations have already begun. It was a night of partisan politics at the capitol despite hours of debate and last minute deal making there was no agreement on a government funding deal the user fifty three days or forty nine. The motion is not agreed the Republican Leadership couldnt find the sixty votes needed to keep the government open the Government Shutdown means hundreds of thousands of Public Servants night have to. Artificially. Following the senate vote the white house said the democrats were behaving like obstructionist loses its words were echoed by the Republican Senate laid out what weve just witnessed on the floor was a son a call decision by Senate Democrats or shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political games a Government Shutdown was one hundred percent of all edible but Democratic Senate laid it Chuck Schumer said he tried his utmost to give the republicans what they wanted he was prepared to offer donald trump money for his border wall if the president would soften his hard line on immigration no one who deserves the blame for the position we find ourselves in more than President Trump. He walked away from two bipartisan deals including one today in which i even put the border wall on the table oh sure matley dog the democrats wouldnt back down on one key demand they wanted guarantees on the future of eid hundred thousand undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. Is children republican side thats Holding Ordinary people hostage but with most americans supporting a deal on the children democrats are calculating that voters will back them. Ok were going to get some analysis on all this now from us x. Five bars full on a proffer fessor politics of politics rather at both ends by college thank you for coming in bars i want to pick up on those bipartisan deal deals that didnt come through that we were just hearing about in our poll the last time we had a shutdown twenty thirteen donald trump blamed president obama for failing to make the deal necessary deal with the other side what does this latest shutdown tell us about Donald Trumps fame skills as a deal maker well i mean first of all it tells us something we knew already which is that congress in american politics is very polarized its very difficult to get a deal done but its true i mean trump ran on the ticket saying that hes a great negotiator that he had certain skill superior skills from the Business World that he would translate to the put political world obviously this is not something thats that has worked. Now this is of course the u. S. Domestic story the u. S. Federal government to shut down youve just written this book the dead in makati in germany in germany rather the crisis of democracy should talking about the wider. Implications of people like trump. And so on how does this u. S. Domestic development the federal Government Shutdown how is that going to affect the outside world well first of all i thing. Its going to impact the domestic world trump was elected because there was a deep frustration with the political establishment something were also seeing in the european context and he promised that there would be a protection of American Workers from the outside world from globalization there would be investments in infrastructure theres a debate about it big infrastructure deal towards the end of general thats something he can find and if there is this Government Shutdown and obviously with the with the tax reform hes hamstrung in what concerns his his budget whats the outside world well i mean you could be cynic and you could say he would be distracted from the outside world which some would see as an advantage on the other hand every time that hes cornered at home sometimes theres an escape and theres a approval cation that sets off a whole spiral of events that is hard to calculate ok. Thanks for now but do stay with us were going to talk a little bit more first though were going to switch our attention to transfer Student Office it is a year today that he was inaugurated as u. S. President and our correspondents have been gathering opinions about him for us so heres a look at how people around the world view the Trump Presidency. Deal was the most interesting president in u. S. History hes outspoken and dept in social media hes a star on the internet you go off on was nobody even writing to the post everything takes time trumps not a bad president i believe that a Bright Future of sorts does lie ahead i think what he does and how he talks and presents himself is terrible hes a very unpleasant man and that makes living with him very difficult but when i had to print yeah. Press and i could trump talking like that they doubt themselves and we will. Say. Oh no i dont want to talk about trump. Very mixed set of views there back to boris fulton professor of politics a balanced budget college what is your view of the Trump Presidency so far particularly the way that donald trump conducts Foreign Policy theres been a lot of chaos and this is what Foreign Policy experts have been fearing the volatility in the International System weve seen a couple of crises. In the korean case the russia affair different moments where it wasnt quite clear what position the u. S. Was standing on and i think this is one thing that worries. States leaders and Foreign Policy experts most is that the u. S. Seems to have taken a particular turn over the last one hundred years one could almost say it was always clear that the u. S. Was leading the globe that it was the hedge im on but it but it was a beneficial hedge among the believed in certain universal values such as democracy under trump its not about values but its about interests and i think of where is a lot of people ok ours foreman many thanks for talking to us thanks.
