A US Embassy burns, and yet, he golfs. Our strategic foothold in countless places is eroded by revanchist Russia, and yet, he golfs. Have we ever faced such serious challenges with a team less capable of rising to meet them? Less capable of evaluating vital, objective truth?

North Korea. Iran. China. Russia. The total disruption of the Middle East/North Africa. The erosion of Europe. The loss of strategic competitiveness in Africa and Latin America. The rise of "populists" who are corrosive to democracy and peace.

There is nowhere that is not worse.
