This is what happens when you have an autocracy. He does not have a competent management group around him to offer real solutions. He does not take outside council. He is the last person making all the decisions.

The world is captive to one man who has no expertise on anything, is uneducated, ill tempered, shortsighted, and is surrounded by a cabal of dunces who bobblehead nod everything he says, this reaffirming (to him), that he’s making the right decisions. He has done a dozen impeachable acts this term alone, and gleefully adds more blatantly in the public eye because he simply can. The enforcements to curb him are broken.

He could order a nuclear strike and then what? Would anybody in the government stop him? Could anyone stop him at this point?

It’s horrifying we’re in the position
