To put a lying, egotistical tyrant in office is asinine. Especially one who thinks he is omnipotent, who fantasizes his knowledge exceeds all others in all things, who surrounds himself with spineless sycophants who grovel at his feet. (They’re known as Republicans).

This spectacle would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic. What’s needed now is a sane, truthful, rational diplomat who can organize the best talent available to solve real problems with real answers. And one who knows when to keep his big mouth shut.
