I expect him to really unload on leaders who cross us, making his spoken views on Wallace and Kelly look like a Sunday school lesson. He may not say them publically, but I'll wager private face to face meetings will be full of forcefully spoken words from Trump. Words that will carry real danger to their shores.
One of the advantages Reagan had was that some world leaders viewed him as mentally unstable, and so unpredictable that he shouldn't be trusted with nuclear weapons.
I think Trump will have that same advantage, and that will make the world, and especially America, a safer place.
I don’t mind harsh rhetoric toward authoritarian figures when necessary. That would be good.
However, I do wish Donald would improve his vocabulary. “Dummy” and “stupid” and “moron” are not particularly impressive insults. Trump just isn’t very good at it.
Something more Churchillian:
Lady Astor to Churchill “Winston, if you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison.”
Churchill: “Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it.”
Bessie Braddock to Churchill “Winston, you’re drunk!”
Churchill: “Bessie, you’re ugly, and tomorrow morning I shall be sober.”
Or, regarding various opponents:
“A sheep in sheep’s clothing.”
“A modest man, who has much to be modest about.”
An empty taxi arrived at 10 Downing Street, and when the door was opened, Atlee got out.”
