Trump said pre election he was going to to be a dictator from day one and he appears to be carrying that out. His total lack of running the majority of his decisions by congress and the senate and as DM says his disregard for international law are no different to Putin waltzing into Ukraine and saying it’s legitimate, different scale of course but the same principal. Of course his mental deterioration and poor health are probably part and parcel of his decision making but it’s very unnerving for the rest of the world. We were famous for gun boat diplomacy back in our empire days ( another term for bullying others ) and Trump is no different IMO.
