I am fascinated by Trump’s alleged negotiating skills. Basically he’s threatening to breach NAFTA and other trade agreements by imposing across the board tariffs. But now he’s saying he will consider pulling back on them if Canada and Mexico come to the table to renegotiate NAFTA. He’s basically holding a gun to his own head and threatening to shoot the hostage.

In other, more terrifying news of general incompetence:

The State Department has spent $0 of $120 million allocated by Congress to combat foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

Despite the massive budget, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has done little to thwart a sweeping influence campaign by the Russian government, and an office tasked with countering such efforts has no employees that even speak Russian due to an ongoing hiring freeze.

Tillerson himself has continued to doubt the ability of his department to combat Russia, and just last month said that if Moscow wanted to meddle, it was “going to find ways to do that.”

Sorry guys, nothing we can do, just going to have to learn to speak Russian, I guess.
