STEPHEN GLOVER: I dont share delight at Trump's woke-baiting speech

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

80% : Trump may have no coherent political philosophy but he is by nature a revolutionary.
65% : A tariff war would damage international trade, and lead to lower living standards.
63% : Trump has now raised the possibility of further sanctions against Vladimir Putin's regime in RussiaAs I say, Trump is a revolutionary, so it's no surprise to see him fostering an uprising and then pardoning those who took part in it.
62% : Despite all I've said, I shall rejoice if I'm wrong and Trump turns out to be an effective President who is beneficial to this country.
47% : How should sensible Tories and small-c conservatives view the prospect of Donald Trump being in the White House for the next four years?My friends who fall into this category are jubilant.
47% : Trump was right in his first term to insist that European members of the defence organisation should pay more.
46% : I can sympathise with those on the Right who admire Trump because of his war on wokery.
42% : I've lost count of the number of pieces by Conservative columnists whom I respect suggesting that Trump is some sort of saviour.
36% : Let's hope they're right, but nothing Trump or anyone in his administration has said suggests that he's keen to defend Ukrainian interests, though yesterday he raised the possibility of further sanctions against Putin's regime.
36% : It has replaced a perfectly good British ambassador in Washington, and one acceptable to the new administration, with Peter Mandelson, who is disliked there because of his Chinese links and quite recent rude comments about Trump.
35% : Donald Trump delivers his inauguration speech in Washington on MondayWhile I don't share the new President's rejection of the theory of man-made climate change, I don't see why America shouldn't drill and frack.
35% : If there is one thing Tories don't like, it is revolutions, even if the original Tories were virtual outlaws who lived in 16th-century Ireland.Consider the pardoning by Trump of more than 1,500 individuals charged over the riots and invasion of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
35% : We can only hope that wiser counsels will prevail and that Trump the arch American nationalist will think again before damaging countries that are supposedly US allies.
32% : Yet once again Trump is largely forgiven on account of his crusade against wokedom.
29% : It was a violent insurrection - encouraged by Donald Trump, for which act alone he should never be forgiven.
28% : Keir Starmer's Attorney General, refuses to give an account of himselfBecause Trump is such a maverick and bereft of anything resembling a political philosophy, it's hard to predict what he will do.
25% : My fear is that the revolutionary Donald Trump will be a disruptive and divisive figure who won't be good for Britain.
24% : Of one thing we can be certain - that the Government's cackhanded wooing of President Trump will fail since Labour is on a completely different wavelength.
23% : Trump is right about bearing down on illegal immigration - if only our own political leaders were as determined! -
19% : Quite apart from the fact that Trump is an absolutely horrible man, many of his policies will, if carried out, damage Britain and the West.
