Nails In Reputation

This and this have led to this. President Trump’s unfeeling deportation of long-time Americans and his flagrant ignoring of the meaning of special days have among too-numerous-to-tell other outrages led to a slumping reputation. One would think he would be worried about it, but he doesn’t seem to be. He basks in the love of a minority of supporters. He feeds on applause and attacks instantly when there is criticism. He has proclaimed himself a genius when those around him call him a moron and an idiot. He is lost in love of himself, a narcissist of the worst kind.  Other presidents have been clueless but not for want of trying. Trump glories in his ignorance and makes no effort to understand issues and the responsibilities of his office. If the first year is any indication, he will continue this way until he is voted out at the end of his first term. The next president will have the task of restoring America’s reputation with the rest of the world.
