Trump is a clown capable of pulling stunts and making consequential decisions at the same time.

There has been, imo, a bit of misdirected outrage at the fact that the Democratic Senators got on the buses for Trump's NK briefing stunt. Yes, we learned after the fact that it was nothing more than a photo op. Trump will never be presidential. He will always be an attention seeking reality star looking to increase his ratings and make a buck or two. As such, it is not foolhardy to think that extremely consequential decisions won't follow.

This is the guy that reduced his Supreme Court nomination to a Bachelor style final rose ceremony and we are going to be feeling the consequences of that for 30-40 years. This is the guy that spent millions bombing an empty airfield in a late night spectacle because his daughter was sad. He is fully capable of busing in the entire Senate in an idiotic stunt and throwing us into a serious war w/ NK. That is who he is. He will never be serious and consequential matters of state will be framed for prime time ratings, whether we like it or not.
