Captain Clueless Strikes Again

“After 16 months, leaders of long-standing allies - all initially deferential to Trump and his famous ego – have grown frustrated and at times disapproving. Across 134 countries, the median approval of U.S. leadership dropped 18 points in Trump’s first year, to a record low of 30%. That was before Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and impose tariffs on a number of allies, which further alienated many of them.”*

Or as Trump said at the Naval Academy last week: “We are respected again; I can tell you that. We are respected again.”
