US Relations in danger

Donald Trump is an immediate danger to the United State’s relationships with other nations. I honestly can’t believe that we have allowed someone with the diplomatic understanding of a typical teenager to not only handle our foreign affairs, but also run our country. Nearly 80 days into his presidency and we are have yet to see anything substantial from him being this “great closer”. And with his recent loss of failing to pass his healthcare bill through a congress that his party controls, it seems he's not as good at negotiating as he thinks.

Throughout his campaign, he boasted on how quickly he’d turn our unstable foreign relations with Russia and China around incredibly fast. Yet, we have seen nothing of this. It seems as though our Chinese relations have been forgotten. And with new Russian conflict information sprouting up every day, who knows where that will stand once this all plays out. Undoubtedly our stagnant presence in the Middle East is still wavering on a string more than ever since George H. W. Bush held office.

Who are we kidding here? How long will we allow this to continue? The United States has elected a president who has no other diplomatic skill set other than to yell louder than his opponent. He sees no reasoning behind any argument other than his own. His campaign rallies were proof enough of this, as he continually one after another, ejected men and women from them for any type of disagreement with his ideology. If the isn’t enough for you, a quick read of his twitter account should definitely seal the deal. Arguing with celebrities, accusatory statements of other public officials, and childish verbal attacks against anyone who opposes him.

This is the man that we are in-trusting with the relations of our foreign affairs. Not only is it frightening to think about how he will react against nations who are not our strongest supporters, but also with those who we have worked well with for decades. We should think long and hard about who we allow to dictate the deals that are made from here on out. I for one am not faithful, in Trump’s ability to mediate any type of negation, now or in the future.
