re: #128 MsJ
The permanency is that American’s voted for this dolt. How does any other nation state (our allies) trust what America says or does when we, as a populace, voted for this moron? That’s the permanency I see.
i think to a large extent that depends on how the next election(s) go.
who gets nominated - who the candidates are and how they act
how the voting public acts and reacts
to a lesser extent, how the media behaves
the world will see we are again serious and deserve respect if we are serious and earn respect
