Especially in foreign policy.
That is why he had Mitt Romney for a visit. He would like for him to take the Secretary of State position. So he could take all the flak that is soon to come down the road. He doesn't really care for the idea that the "buck stops here". He is never responsible.
The President-elect is a low-life and a grifter. He stole this election with his lies and name-calling and a subservient media that persuaded the simple minded into doing something very stupid.

People who exactly like Trump. They have are going to turn on each other and eat each other alive. Unfortunately, the rest of us are going to get harmed in their swath of destructive decs ion making.

Not in the USA, anyway.

It is a time that is completely unrecognizable to me - I cannot - and refuse - to relate to it. Utter trash.
Isn't just the US - the world is taking a cultural dip - rise of authoritarianism, use of religion as a weapon (well, that one's been playing forever) - just a nasty, nasty time.
