That has been going on for quite some time. Shit, Xi Jinping hasn't even met with Kimmy III, and the latter has been office since, shit, five or six years ago wasn't it? That's a situation delivered to him on a silver platter. Hence why I used the Cuban missile crisis as an example, something that actually requires political delicacy. [/quote]

Well TBF I haven't seen a whole lot of delicacy from Trump in any situation ever. But the shit he's doing certainly seems to be working -- China's turning back DPRK coal and taking ours (and our beef); Qatar is in the ringer for terror support, Assad's chemical weapons (which Obama "handled" delicately) are crippled, etc etc.

You're right that if something big happens and Trump fucks it up, that would be bad -- but you could say the same for any incumbent ever, there's been no indication (other than angry tweeting and pretty much every aspect of his persona) that Trump's in any danger of having that happen. His record is kinda spotless and full of winning atm.
