Neither is the combination of this (North Korea has taken its saber-rattling up a notch, with a provocative ballistic missile test) and this (Trump nixed the experienced deputy that our neophyte Secretary of State was begging for; apparently the need for a U.S. State Department that knows its ass from its elbow is less important than the fact that the guy had criticized Trump during the presidential campaign).

And in other news, the Trump Administration's attacks on the judiciary leg of the three-legged stool known as the Constitution's separation of powers continue, too. That can't be good, either.

Like someone said on Twitter, it took George W Bush seven years, two wars, and a hurricane to get to this point of how Americans perceive U.S. world standing. Trump: three weeks.
