with China and Russia?
Not even nominated and he's already posturing, declaring opponents and alienating country's that should be made partners and allies, not competitors.
This guy is a total amateur at international relations and knows nothing of diplomacy. He has no clue.

immature individual, unfit to lead in the 21st century ... basically a throwback.

told him to.....
We are now in an era with one individual with deep campaign can buy themselves
a candidate all of their own.
Scary......I say.
