Law and Ordnung,

With President Trump there is much to be concerned about, particularly internationally, where Congress and the courts less confine him.

Trump's foreign policy will likely include buffoonery similar to his first term. Continuing to support Ukraine in its defense against Putin is an enormous anxiety for European and world security.

In Trump's world, history and future have little relevance. So, there is no doctrine or philosophy to guide his decisions or others to anticipate them. He will likely double down on a primarily protectionist and isolated America.

Contrary to many believers, Trump is a weak president who can be used tactically for specific ends (Netanyahu played him). Flattery toward Trump can pay off, but not subjugation.

Many thanks. Best.
