If President Trump is such a joke, then why are the Chinese trying to negotiate a new trade deal in order to prevent a new round of tariffs from kicking in?
They’re shitting their pants over the prospect of huge tariffs that would destroy their economy and bring jobs back to the US.
Just because Trump is a dumbass doesn't mean everyone in his orbit is as well ... he should just show up for the photo op, say as little as possible, and let smart people talk to other smart people.
You can't do what he can.
No one has achieved what he has.
If you don't live in the US and if you don't love America and if you aren't committed to our continued existence under an originalist Constitutional interpretation, your opinion doesn't matter to real Americans.
You don't need to be smart to be president. Honestly, you don't. You just need to find smart people.
You do, however, need to be smart to understand international trade to the extent that you are qualified to wrangle a favorable trade agreement out of China. Trump isn't that guy/girl. Maybe he has someone in his administration who is, I don't know, but he isn't the one. The problem is, he doesn't seem to understand that.
Has any President been as staggering a failure as Obama?
As Peter Wehner suggests, let's use OBAMA'S OWN METRICS:
Obama’s Staggering Record of Failure
PETER WEHNER / APR. 24, 2014
"It’s not simply that Mr. Obama has fallen short of what he promised; it’s that he has been, in so many respects, a failure. Choose your metrics. Better yet, choose Mr. Obama’s metrics:
Job creation.
Economic growth.
Improving our health-care system.
Reducing the debt.
Reducing poverty.
Reducing income inequality.
Slowing the rise of the oceans.
Healing the planet.
Repairing the world.
The Russian “reset.”
Peace in the Middle East.
Red lines in Syria.
Renewed focus on Afghanistan.
A new beginning with the Arab world.
Better relations with our allies.
Depolarizing our politics.
Putting an end to the type of politics that “breeds division and conflict and cynicism.”
Working with the other party.
Transparency.
No lobbyists working in his administration.
His commitment to seek public financing in the general election.
The list goes on and on."
