Republican presidents are dangerous to national and world security, but none more than Trump. By breaking the deal with Iran, Trump gave Iran the incentive to resume its arms program, which they have done. Which makes the world less safe. Because that's what Trump's ineptitude does: make the world less safe.

Trump's lickspittle Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was outraged that Iran was again ramping up its nuclear weapons program, nevermind why. And with tensions again rising, Trump did what he always does on the world stage: He got his ass kicked. Now he's considering giving Iran $15 billion dollars in credit to get back in compliance with the deal with which it had always been in compliance—until Trump gave them the incentive not to be. That's Trump's artistry in making deals: getting his ass kicked.

Trump's trade war already has cost 300,000 American jobs. And every time he opens his mouth about China, the American stock markets get spooked. And then after threatening to escalate his trade war, Trump backed down, and now desperately wants to find a way out of yet another crisis that is entirely of his own making. Because he has no idea what he’s doing. Because he is a deeply stupid man who routinely gets his ass kicked on the world stage.

This would be funny if it weren't so serious. Trump's trade war could devastate the American economy. A nuclear armed Iran would be bad for everyone. A North Korea that is ramping up its nuclear program is bad for everyone. And that the guy who sits at the big desk in the Oval Office is a deeply stupid man who routinely gets his ass kicked on the world stage also is bad for everyone.

Except for those foreign leaders who routinely kick his ass.

1. Very deeply stupid deal maker.

Yuge and bigly.

2. He thinks no one knows more than him, doesn't need anyone (except Ivanka), and can do

the job of running the entire government by himself (hence all the "acting" or vacant positions). And he thinks he has unlimited power, which he more or less does until the Republicans (and Moscow Mitch) are out of the Senate.

"Vote for me. What have you got to lose?" he told a crowd of black voters in 2016. Well, now we have the answer: everything.

3. Excellent read

Perfectly distills what it means to be Trump.

We know about Disaster Capitalism. Trump is Disaster Deal-Maker.

4. Why would he care? He is appointing lifetime federal judges that can

impact our future for a generation.

5. Yeah, he's accomplished Putin's mission given to him to F up the US as best he can. And his

buddies Moscow Mitch and Barr continue to help!

7. Just as the Dubya regime did bin Laden's work, the Trump regime does Putin's.

Republicans are the single most dangerous threat to United States strength, security, and leadership.

8. I still see occasional posts attributing him with some sort of master scheming

I just don’t buy it. His is supremely stupid and defective. He might of had some small measure of intelligence years ago but he’s always been a failure at business and pretty much everything else. I guess the one thing you’d have to say is that he’s mastered the con. He knows how to push the buttons of stupid and gullible people. That formula has been his forte for many years and even as his brain wanders off into La La land he still manages to pull it off with the entranced masses that still buy it.
