re: #526 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

He sold himself as the anti-politician. And at least during the campaign, he got away with things that would have derailed the career of any professional politician.

But that does not make him exempt to the way that international diplomacy works.

Trump is a one-trick pony thrust into a job that requires the pony to successfully manage several complex tricks all at the same time. If he had capable people around him to pick up the slack (assuming he would let them), his one-trick pony shtick might almost work. As it is, this particular circus only has Donald the One-Trick Pony and a motley assortment of clowns. The ringmaster (Kelly) is only there for show.
