Palestine appears to be ready to cut off communications with us. Other countries are communicating directly with state Governors and bypassing channels to Washington. The State Department is collapsing internally due to short-staffing moves by Trump.
Donald Trump, himself is sending mixed messages to both our allies and adversaries. He says one thing one day and the opposite the next day on important international issues. He is destroying trust on a regular basis, and is increasing his reputation as a loose cannon.
He cozies up to an insane despot in the Philippines, sucks up to Putin, and creates confusion throughout the world about his positions. He goes against the entire world on global climate change issues. His trade policy goals are completely opaque and untrustworthy.
So, I'm thinking the answer to my titular question is a resounding "YES!"
What do you think, and why?

(1,216 posts)banned tRump from visiting. Instead, they (Japan,
China, Vietnam, South Korea & Philippines) tried to
negotiate business deals with tRump. I am certain he
got permission to build hotels & hi-rises in all of them.
He is in all this for personal gain.

(1,474 posts)Could it be his stupidity?
His dishonesty?
His misogyny?
His pedophilia?
Why will good lawyers not work for him?
Why does he have so many lawsuits filed against him?
Who would even buy a car from him?
Of course, other nations avoid him.
Stupidity, Bigotry, Hatred, Dishonesty do not inspire confidence in leaders of other nations.
