I wasn't entirely serious but you have to admit there is some Dr. Strangelove level comedy of errors maybe remotely possible with this goon in office. At least more than at any other point ever.
I'm not sure I agree. While the Executive branch is far more covered in honey than they've ever been in the past (and will hopefully ever be in the future), ours is a largely stable democracy and we're facing no real threats. I think things could have gone seriously wrong under Kennedy, and I think things could have gone seriously wrong under Reagan, but I think both Kennedy and Reagan had enough experience in governance to get the job done and I think they were humble enough to surround themselves with people who at least had good, solid, intellectual reasons for acting the way they did. I think the United States in 2018 is the same as the United States in 2017, except that everyone is perfectly willing to second-guess the President because c'mon. It's the only sensible response.
