71. Trump would be a disaster all round.

I doubt that he even knows what the word "diplomacy" means. To think of him being involved in delicate multinational negotiations about something like the environmental agreement last year boggles the mind. His simplistic black-and-white worldview (white people good; Mexicans bad, etc.) is too frightening to contemplate. For one, does he REALLY think that the Mexican government will pay for the wall that he said will now be 10 feet higher after Vicente Fox's statement? Trump is used to yes men, but he won't necessarily find those in either Congress or on the world stage.
