Most U.S. Presidents have been Diplomatic, at least to some degree.

Not Donald Trump, though. He is just the opposite. In everything he does, he projects anger, helplessness, and vitriol. He is the Anti-Diplomat. It is not wearing well any longer. He alienates everyone he encounters and creates enemies, not allies.

In his sick mind he needs no allies - he is the holey moran emperor - the boss of the world.
Do as I say or else.

Our system of government, sadly, allows such a person to be President for four years. We've never successfully impeached and removed a President. Perhaps we will this time, but perhaps not.

Meanwhile, we are stuck with our mistake. I hope we survive it.

but in his sick mind he is not the problem - indeed he is the victim.
I can't speak for history but this lunatic is an evil monster on steroids.

Okay, he wasn't very diplomatic, but at least Chimpy was empathetic.

Dump is just a raging, narcissistic mobster. He has no redeeming qualities.
