The confusion of the Japanese talks is not entirely to blame on Trump. Meeting a mere president-elect so soon after his victory is unprecedented behavior for a Japanese prime minister. Logistical and protocol details that should've been determined "long in advance" were not because this trip appears to have been settled on very quickly. I don't think Abe & team had a realistic plan for what they wanted to do if Trump won, and in the wake of it they are scrambling.

Once things ramp up and he feels personally insulted by most of the world I'm assuming his term will consist entirely of angry tweets.

I think that might be the best case scenario.

One would hope so.

Considering the team he's putting together, I could see a Cuban Missile Crisis-type event go south real fast.  Thirteen Days?  With the names of a national security decision-making crew they've been tossing around, try Thirteen Minutes.

Come January 20th, I believe we will be as close to the possibility and potentiality of nuclear war since 1982.  And the worst of it is, we'll have become the threat.

Americans voted in this orange clown. Maybe we deserve it.

Maybe, we're the bad guys?!? :o

I look forward to all the hit Chinese and Indian action flicks where all the bad guys with plots to end the world are Americans

And the Russian historical dramas where European perfidy is revealed to Trump by Saint Putin, who is then able to unleash his holy crusade to the Atlantic.

Of course the man is so hard to contact and he doesn't trust anyone from the government & no interest in doing so.

I read somewhere that he was surprised to find out he has to find new White House Staff.

Trump is going to make Stephen Harper look like a icon of knowledge. (Harper was the doofus of the G7/8/9/20/30 at every meeting they had.)

Apparently Putin's representative spent 30 minutes on the phone with Trump  and is still not certain with position Trump has on the Ukraine.

Totally false.

It probably depends on how many hotels he gets to build in Russia.

True. There won't be any Americans left after the war so the next closest thing will be English blokes trying their best American accents.
