I have to say even I expected better from Trump than what he is doing so far... some of the moves are disconcerting and potentially very destabilizing....
Why?
Why are the moves potentially destabilizing or why did I expect better? I'll assume the latter as more likely a question....
Because I thought Trump would be a little more staid and middle ground... why did I think that? I guess because I thought a lot of his talk was meant to get him votes...and not indicative of what he would do..
But I didn't underestimate him per-se as we did all we could and took him seriously and at his word... ....while I thought he would be more mellow and conformist in regards to the hues of decades of American foreign policy I took him at his word and assumed the worse... I just thought he'd be better... but we were enthusiastic Hillary supporters and Trump detractors..
I never thought he'd really be exhibit madman behavior but he seems to be doing just that...I thought he was pursuing power for his own benefit and the powers that be would explain the birds and the bees of foreign policy to him..
