The train wreck that is the Trump administration was derailed again yesterday with the firing of Anthony Scaramucci after less than two weeks on the job.
Scaramucci is the seventh senior White House aide to be turfed in only the sixth month of Trump’s reign of error, and while Scaramucci’s profanity-laced tirade toward White House staffers made headlines, we shouldn’t lose sight of a much larger concern about Trump’s administration.
Let’s not forget that it was Trump who hand picked these people and the fact that seven of them have been dumped in only six months raises serious questions about Trump’s alleged business skills.

The nuclear threat in North Korea has ramped up considerably and tensions in eastern Europe and the Middle East are increasing.
Trump has shown that, contrary to his own bombast, he makes bad choices and misleading statements and he has a less than rudimentary understanding of world affairs. Those facts are not lost on other world leaders, both friends and foes of the United States.
