Sadly

I also find it fascinating that Trump's ardent supporters assumed they knew what he meant when he said 'Make America Great Again'

I don't think he was ever really talking about domestic policy. Presidents can't 'do' much without Congress. It's clear to me he meant make America the world's biggest, bestest, bigly all powerful ruler of the world! And he thinks he can do it by pissing off allies

What a mess
