(63,221 posts)The worse things get for him domestically, the more likely he is to start something that "will show his might". So he thinks. He is just stupid and insane enough to do it. He doesn't think ahead and he doesn't think about other people. He is impulsive and irrational. The perfect storm is brewing and we should all be terrified. Not to mention the fact that Tillerson is gung-ho for a duel with North Korea.

TRex doesn't talk; appears not to think; is a sycophant; doesn't take the press with him overseas, except one RW nut this time; ignores the press at conferences, if he doesn't cancel; stands up the ambassadors families; sends his minions in place of him to meet with his counterparts; doesn't have briefings with the Prez; his high level duties are handled by Kushner, the real Sec of Syate; and he cancels high level meetings for sleep, unapologetically. It's like a big "fuck you," to our allies, and a waste of their time. They know he has no authority or the ear of the Prez. It would be better to just keep him hidden out of the way, with jigsaw puzzles or whatever he does to amuse himself. He looks miserable.
The whole world knows it too. We are no longer leaders in western policy, just the disrespected material of newspapers around the world and buffoons of late night talk shows. Our status, knowledge, reputation, and leadership of two centuries, gone in mere months.
Compare Hillary or Kerry!

(Yes he very badly wants one)
His first choice, Iran isn't looking like he can get that one.

Hopefully, the football guy is trained to run or he's replaced it with a known defect. The shadow guy with the codes might eat them. They would kill him and slow it down. Maybe the real ones were given to Pence, who is just biding his time to be Prez. I have a feeling Mattis may have a hand in that. I think he is contemptuous of trump, and knows he is crazy. He has to oversee. He would surely fall on his sword to save the world. Chaos is delay. Seconds and minutes can matter. We hope.
There could be a secret service row too, especially with DT having has own security.
