Lest anyone forgets the destruction that was wrought on Libya…

You know, while I had very low expectations of the current presidency, I have to concede that–despite a couple of anemic strikes on Syria–Trump hasn’t (yet) graduated to Destroyer of Countries. That’s something no “liberal” progressive can say about their beloved Hillary.

Agreed, but don’t forget those with whom he keeps company.
Who could possibly forget, with psychos and dingbats like John Bolton and Nikki Haley as his hires? One thing I’ve learned is that Trump is utterly unpredictable, but regardless his crass behavior and language and his inscrutable strategy, the picture in hindsight looks better than some previous presidents—so far…
True Shamus. When he became President of the U.S. I was very relieved. Perhaps he is keeping these people close to keep a watch on them. I don’t think Haley has much power other than being a spitfire with a microphone. Trump has a method, and it’s almost perceptible in the whirlwind of his chaotic behaviour, but it’s there. It’s a fine thread that one can follow, and it shows up in little bits of statements he makes here and there, or the sudden decisions he makes after making apparent gaffs. He acts like a bafoon, but I think he’s intelligent and very astute.
