A quick review of the elections yesterday across America shows there is indeed a brewing voter-coup against Donald Trump and the dysfunctional Congress. This sort of swing by voters has been going on for more than 200 years here. I have no doubt this seems very startling to a person like yourself accustomed to living under the Chinese dictatorship. So I'm overlooking your venomous hatred as the natural surprise of a person unfamiliar with democracy. Wastrels like bart13 who were hoping Donald Trump would roll-out Chinese-style communism in America are going to be bitterly disappointing, which will come as a very familiar feeling to such a bitter, old, shrill and cackling woman.

TJ, Most presidents get elected based on their domestic policies, but they realize that their legacy is based on their international policies. Think FDR - WWII, LBJ - Vietnam, Reagan - Berlin Wall. The best thing about Trump's foreign policy team is that it could be a lot worse. So far he has managed to keep the neocon chickenhawks squawking around the sidelines. McCain, Graham, Perle, Kristol, Kagan, Wolfowitz, Nuland...none play a role in the administration. I shudder to think of John Bolton as Sec Of State. Constant regime change. Mattis, McMaster, and Kelly are generals but don't seem to be ideologue neocons. All three are intelligent and savvy, with Mattis and McMaster considered to be real scholars beyond their military careers. I thought Tillerson was a great choice just because DOS seemed to be a bit rogue wanting to pursue it's own policy...he could go in and clean house of entrenched interests. I don't view the generals as a threat, but as a stabilizing presence. The neocons continue to circle around the edges...If they worm their way into positions of power and influence, we have much more to fear.
