Defense Department people are saying that Trump should not have approved the mission in Yemen because it wasn't properly vetted. The Trump Administration says it was an Obama approved mission.
State Department staff of one thousand have signed a decent cable over the immigration executive order. Trump administration identified the seven countries as those named by Obama as most dangerous.
When judges overturned aspects of the immigration executive order, Trump told departments responsible for implementation to ignore the judge's order
Trump has threatened Mexican President with military action.
We have several points here -
when something goes wrong, Trump is blaming Obama
career staff are protesting the actions of the chief executive
response to decent is urging that the staff quit
disagreements are met with threats
judge's order should be ignored
Clearly, the USA cannot be run this way for four years. There will be Congressional elections in two years. Eventually, Congressional Republicans will stop being yes people. Surely, citizens will be in the streets until that happens.
The irony is that as Trump bullies about the USA's strength as a world power, that very strength and prestige diminishes. The US is slowly creeping toward banana republic status with no friends.
