Critique President Trump's foreign policy approach and contrast his reception in Japan and China. Express doubt about whether he will be an effective president and compare him to previous US presidents in terms of diplomatic skills.
Donald J. Trump is proving he's little more than a naive idiot and a schoolyard bully. Contrast Japan with China:. Shinzo Abe arrived a couple of days after the election to kiss the ring of the capitalist imperial emperor. Xi Jinping won't be bowing to Trump. We can be certain that China will call his bluff. The US is headed for significant inflation within the context of tariff loving protectionism. Do we really need to listen to this mouthpiece for the next four years? The only real consolation is it's certain he's destined to be a lame duck president. No US president has been this brash since at least Lyndon Johnson and  even at that Johnson was a state diplomat when compared to Trump...big ego, huge mouth, and small hands.
