...you said that when Trump tweets stupid crap it makes him look incapable of handling major situations internationally to other countries (true - though I don't care much as long as it doesn't prove to be true). You also said that the perception he creates is that he isn't an international player and that the perception is that he is getting played by Putin.....and that this "appeared to be accurate". What examples make you think that these international perceptions are accurate?
You're right about BO's mistakes not being an excuse for Trump. perhaps i am forgetting something that you are thinking about.
