For all the dysfunction at home, it is Donald Trump’s ad-hoc, chaotic foreign policy that stands to do the most damage. Trump is pursuing an equally brain-dead, self-defeating course with Iran. As I wrote months ago, reasonable people disagreed about the wisdom …

That's a decent piece to be fair. I really like the description of the challenges facing the world, but I find it disturbing that they are presented as problems just facing the US. No wonder trump seems to have forgotten that America has family on the other side of the Atlantic and no wonder he's not that bothered about alienating friends and allies.

Chinese suppression of its own people is going to turn out to be huge in scale when it all comes out in the wash. And they have taken the piss for years in ripping off western consumer goods etc. A more effective policy would have been to persuade the EU, India, Japan and south America to come on side, using diplomacy and stealth, before brandishing the big stick with his tariffs. If, when he stood up to China, he had the other main trading blocks standing up alongside him then probably China would be more cooperative by now. He didn't, however, and the mood music isn't great right now.

I don't agree with the author about North Korea. Kim and trump just look like a pair of crazies when they prance around in their photo ops, grinning and hugging. Then trump goes home and claims success before it becomes clear to the rest of the world that actually nothing has been accomplished and that trump is just 'playing to the gallery' for domestic political reasons. Frankly, he looks like a clown, not a statesman.

Saudi - what a depressing place that is. Sadly, I agree that the west has little choice than to ally ourselves with them at present, but what a horrible taste it leaves in your mouth. The UK does it as well. Sickening.

Last thing I'll say is that he should stop tweeting like he does. Clearly, there's nobody around him who can tell him to stop being a dickhead , which is worrying. I'm not against using Twitter as a presidential communication tool per se, but the tweets should be carefully crafted, or edited at least, by diplomats. Maybe people could be persuaded to take him more seriously on foreign policy, if he could be tethered somewhat and he could remember that the USA is very close to losing the full support of some historic allies, especially in Europe. I know his appeal seems to be rooted, in the minds of some anyway, in his novel approach of running the US like one of his companies, but it should be noted that even the most successful CEO has a PR or media department so that they don't have to do it all themselves.

Margaret Thatcher had an image problem and they brought in an expert to voice coach her and subtly alter her appearance. These things are important. Trump needs an image consultant. Badly.

I see today pence starting to speak up against trump....means one of 2 things....he knows trump wants to replace him so what does he have to lose...….or he sees impeachment coming and trying to hold the door open for himself.....surprised that little marriage has lasted that long...Pence's wife hates trump a lot!....guessing the same would apply to pence and might be starting to show
