In retrospect, it is sort of adorable the way I thought George W Bush was the dumbest, most incompetent and easily manipulated president ever.

It may sound alarmist, but it is fair.

Trump represents the US on the world stage, and arguably, the President has more direct power in influencing international policy than domestic policy.

In some ways, the American people’s democratic election of Trump is a more devastating trespass against foreign nations than it is against their own nation.
