how Republicans were screaming and yelling about President Obama making the US look weak and ineffectual and "leading from behind" for the previous 8 years? Good times. At least he got good relations restored after the clusterf**k that was W. Bush. Now, Trump seems to be succeeding in undoing all of those efforts- and in the shortest amount of time possible. I hope that other countries don't believe that Trump is a true representation of the American people and that he is a momentary aberration but then again so many millions of voters actually believed that he was an acceptable choice for President- aided and abetted, of course by Putin's Russia.
