This time's worse than usual. The Trump Administration has pretty much removed all the senior staff at the State Department. Current foreign policy is "Uh...probably not what Trump tweeted at 3 am but we'll get back to you."

That's a quite interesting post. It broadly reflects my feelings about Obama: I was generally satisfied with his domestic policies, but very disappointed with his foreign/military actions. The latter is somewhat tempered by my belief that none of Obama's political rivals would have been any more to my liking on that front.

It definitely indicates that the country as a whole is neither entirely Obama's nor entirely Trump's, and probably never has been.

I find that to be quite an encouraging notion.

Agreed. With all of this.
