55. That Man Can Start a Fight in an Opium Den

Dec 2016

Have never seen a situation he can't screw up, North Korea being a prime example.

I am so relieved he's not I may be in the minority in thinking that left to his own devices, Trump wouldn't start another Iraq-like war. But he's a hothead, and if he surrounds himself with enough other hotheads, they can probably create a war by repeating "Carthago delenda est," especially Trump and Pence lack foreign policy experience. Bolton is the the worst of the bunch.
