Bullshit. Reagan defined Carter as a loser in no uncertain terms just as Trump is defining Obama. The former is history, the latter will be.Trump is defining Trump in those terms. No President ever gets to define another President. Presidents define themselves. Trump is defining himself as the "Liar-in-Chief" leading the most mendacious, untrustworthy and irresponsible administration in history.
In less than three months, Trump has taken the entire world from a standing of peace in the world outside of the Middle East, to the brink of another world war, on two fronts. The spectacular level of ignorance and incompetence this shows is unprecedented.
Carter defined himself that way, making himself a "prisoner" in the White House and refusing to leave until the hostages were released in Iran. It made Carter look weak and ineffectual.
By the time Trump is finished, Obama will look like a foreign policy genius, which he wasn't. At least Obama had good intentions, and yes, I know what the road to hell is paved with. Trump simply doesn't know what he's doing, and there isn't time for "on-the-job learning".
Trump's work with the leaders of China, Mexico and Australia reveals a level of ignorance on how the world works that leaves me breathless. After the Prime Minister of Australia hung up on Trump, Trump said he was going to find out what was in that refugee Agreement. Common sense would tell you that if you're going to discuss an Agreement, it would be better if you learned what was in it BEFORE you started discussing it, not after.
Trump recently said that he was surprised to learn that China couldn't just tell Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons. It seems he learned this AFTER the Premier of China explained it to him. This is embarassing and shocking. How stupid is your President? Shouldn't he have learned all of this BEFORE he met with Xi.
