Every encounter with a foreign head of state reveals his ignorance.
" On one side sat a political heavyweight who calmly asserted the facts; on the other, Mr Trump, espousing wild and inflammatory myths. One side wanted to do bilateral business; the other to pander to the grievances of his domestic base, many of whom doubtless relished the public scolding of an anti-apartheid veteran. No solution was proffered to the imaginary problem."

Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves.

Trump told Walmart to "eat the tariffs" instead of passing the cost to customers, in a moment of anger admitting the the US will pay for tariffs. No business will operate at a loss and the US business model depends on satisfying stockholders.

We spend $1M missiles to respond to $200-500 drones. What did $7B achieve? The US degraded Houthis capabilities to some degree +killed at least 206 civilians in April alone -also degraded America’s capacity, burning thru scarce munitions.
American aid cuts recently forced >2,000 nutrition programs to shut down. The US canceled an order for lifesaving peanut paste that was to keep500,000 Yemeni children alive.

"2,000 agents every day across DOJ have to drop their normal duties to go out and arrest undocumented immigrants.
This is law enforcement under Trump. White collar crimes? No longer being investigated. Protecting kids from pedos? Deprioritized. Counterterrorism? Deprioritized"

Military forces from India and Pakistan attacked each other. Both nations have nuclear weapons and their leaders could start a nuclear war.
Instead of using American diplomacy to try to prevent a nuclear war, Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent time to tweet: "We are reviewing the visa status of the trespassers and vandals who took over Columbia University’s library."

There was a high level of incompetence in the oval office for 9/11, but W. was surrounded by experienced appointees. Trump is surrounded in his second term by fools and incompetents.
Will we have another 9/11 or will the enemies of the US just sit and watch this clown show do the job?
