I agree, the ones that plotted his assassination anyway.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

It took them quite a while to get going.

In that, I hope he gets them, but more successful. And preferably ASAP and very thorough so that the presidency defaults to a democrat or someone who is sane.

For the US to start rebuilding any credibility as a partner it will likely have to go through a Stunde Null.

Knowledge of key historical details is not a noted Trump strength.  He probably chose an air force general to the Chairman of Joint Chief because he thinks that America's superior jet fighters won the Revolutionary War.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Oh, I think he is learning.
From the WaPo:

QuoteThe Trump administration abruptly dismissed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other senior officers on Friday night, as the Pentagon moves to bring the military's leadership in line with its "America First" agenda.
In a post on social media, President Donald Trump said he would replace Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. and would take the unusual step of tapping a little-known, retired three-star officer, Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine, as the next chairman.

It's only been a month and already the situation is untenable.
