I agree with that to a point. Not trying to be argumentative, but when a guy shows that he’s capable of getting it wrong when a situation is crystal clear, it causes me to wonder what he’ll get wrong when on station in another nation.
Remember, he’ll be working in close association with the State Department that notoriously gets it wrong.
Granted, Trump’s Secretary of State will probably be good. The problem is the career diplomats that seem to go squishy over time. They seem to become internationalists rather than true representatives of what’s best for the U.S., and then it’s allies.
I think he’ll do a good job. We’ll see. (if he is in fact appointed)
I’m thinking as long as Trump is calling the ultimate shot, there won’t be too much room for screwups.
