1. The following are excerpts from a 27 December 2018 AP news report headlined "Iraqi lawmakers demand U.S. withdrawal after Trump visit". (Begin excerpts) BAGHDAD — Iraqi lawmakers Thursday demanded U.S. forces leave the country in the wake of a surprise visit by President Donald Trump that politicians denounced as arrogant and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty. Politicians from both blocs of Iraq’s divided Parliament called for a vote to expel U.S. troops and promised to schedule an extraordinary session to debate the matter. “Parliament must clearly and urgently express its view about the ongoing American violations of Iraqi sovereignty,” said Salam al-Shimiri, a lawmaker loyal to the populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.... Containing foreign influence has become a hot-button issue in a year that saw al-Sadr supporters win the largest share of votes in May elections. Al-Sadr has called for curbing U.S. and Iranian involvement in Iraqi affairs.... Qais Khazali, the head of the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia that fought key battles against IS in north Iraq, promised on Twitter that Parliament would vote to expel U.S. forces from Iraq, or the militia and others would force them out by “other means.”.... Trump spent three hours at a U.S. air base meeting with American troops during his visit.... He left without meeting any Iraqi officials, though he spoke to Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi by phone.... Al-Shimiri said Trump’s visit “violated several diplomatic norms.” (End excerpts) Source: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/27/iraq-us-troop-withdrawal-trump-1076363 2. Donald Trump tweeted on 28 December 2018: ".....close the Southern Border. Bring our car industry back into the United States where it belongs. Go back to pre-NAFTA, before so many of our companies and jobs were so foolishly sent to Mexico. Either we build (finish) the Wall or we close the Border......"

In view of his violation of diplomatic norms in Iraq and several other countries, plus his obsession in building a "big, beautiful wall" all the way across the US-Mexico border, Donald Trump’s erratic behaviours could be early signs of brain trauma as predicted by Baba Vanga, the "Nostradamus of the Balkans". 4. Below is a brief summary of the famous blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga's life: Baba Vanga, (31 January 1911 – 11 August 1996), born Vangeliya Pandeva Dimitrova, known after her marriage as Vangelia Gushterova, was a blind Bulgarian mystic, clairvoyant and herbalist, who spent most of her life in the Rupite area in the Kozhuh mountains in Bulgaria. Known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans", she had already developed a noted reputation in her home country of Bulgaria by the time of her death in 1996 aged 85. She mysteriously lost her eyesight at the age of 12 during a massive storm. Her family allegedly found her several days later on death's door – with her eyes sealed shut and covered with dirt. She later claimed to have experienced her first vision when she was missing and believed she had been given the power to predict the future and heal others. She reportedly made hundreds of predictions in her 50-year career, many of which were never written down. She shot to prominence worldwide after accurately predicting the sinking of the Kursk in 2000. In 1979, Vanga - who reportedly had an 85 per cent success rate with her predictions - told writer Valentin Sidorov that Russia would become "lord of the world" after Europe became a "wasteland". "All will thaw, as if ice, only one remains untouched – Vladimir's glory, glory of Russia," she reportedly said. Among her many worldwide gloomy predictions for 2019, she predicted that Donald Trump will succumb to an unexplained illness that will cause him nausea, tinnitus, brain trauma and hearing loss, and a member of his family will be involved in a car crash. https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/worl...wide-gloom-in-2019/ar-BBRuiUI?ocid=spartandhp https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...it-says-2019-bad-news-Putin-Trump-Europe.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Vanga
