Trump hasn't had the opportunity to deal with a bona-fide international or domestic case of terrorism yet either.
I don't think he is a classic idiot. Better said he is an egotistical fool. |
I think he also misses the big picture in that other leaders don't need to make deals. As they look strong, they probably get re-elected. The Mexico thing is a good example. He just has to keep saying to paying for the wall and he is fine.
He is used to both sides wanting to get a deal where as doing nothing is usually a decent choice for a govt.
