Running the government like a massive con game
by digby
And it's not a very good one.
Leaders across the world know that America's promises are not worth the paper they are printed on and the president's word is a joke.
Presidents have certainly abrogated treaties in the past and there's been double-dealing. But this administration has turned the whole system into a blatant con game. I don't have any idea what it's going to take repair that. I'm not sure it can ever be repaired to tell you the truth. Why would any country ever trust us again?
