Thus sayeth the Donald*. And that is how he is behaving - not bothering to fill hundreds of position in the government. Without appointing knowledgeable diplomats as under secretaries and assistant secretaries and a Secretary of State who is almost totally silenced. Then, over dinner, he decided to raid Yemen, killing an American citizen child and blaming Obama. Then, because he - or maybe Ivanka - felt bad that children were gassed, he bombed Syria.
Now, with fears over military growth of North Korea, he turns to President Xi of China with a phone call.
He declares that Russia is making a mistake in supporting Assad in Syria - the Donald doesn't realize that Russia needs that warm water port. The Donald doesn't even understand the strategic interests.
The Secretary fo sTate, UN Ambassador and Press Secretary all express different policy positions - sometimes different from the positions that the individual themselves expressed within a day.
As Americans and American allies criticize the incompetent idiot in the chaotic White House that he himself created, Putin has joined the chorus.
The domestic chaos that he created is now spreading to the international scene. Does Donald want this? Is it deliberate? Incompetence? Diversion from his domestic failures? the FBI Russian investigation?
The position in the United States of America in world affairs is deteriorating.
How long before Republicans intervene?
*Until Donald refers to government officials and others with proper respect, I will continue to refer to him as Donald.
