The self-proclaimed “stable genius” is self-demonstrating that he isn’t.

His foreign policy, such as he has one, is failing all around the world and, as Donald Trump’s presidency has gone on, he has taken to making many of his decisions — especially on foreign policy — by himself, in a vacuum, despite having departments full of foreign policy experts.

As pleased as Turkey is with this decision — the next day in effect they started moving into Syria, killing our former allies the Kurds — even the Republicans in Congress almost unanimously have voiced opposition to this move.
