Robert Reich...
Never before in the history of the United States has a president-elect sought to influence foreign policy in a way different from that of a sitting president. Trump will not become president for another 29 days, but his disdain for our democratic institutions knows no bounds. He has already upset the delicate balance the U.S. has maintained between Taiwan and China, and now he’s pushing his way into the even more delicate issue of Israel’s expansion of settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The world is too unstable for this arrogant man to blindly assert himself when he doesn’t yet have any authority, nor even a State Department to advise him. Trump is a bull in a China shop, when the China shop is the world and his bull threatens us all.
What do you think?
