fights with everyone over everything is ample evidence that he would be a disaster as US spokesman on the world stage. Of course, he also has proven that he has no idea how the US government works or what powers a president has--and what power he does not have. He thinks a president is like a CEO who can bark orders and have his underlings carry them out if they don't want to risk being fired.

I am reminded of Palin's question about what a vice president's job is. She had no idea about the workings of the US government, and neither does he.
