Excellent. And that is only the *external* agenda. Internally, Trump is shredding US democracy with his Unitary Executive Theory that the Constitution had really intended the President to act as a monarch, and that the checks and balances of Congress and courts go way beyond what the Founding fathers envisaged. The opposition to his assault has been utterly feeble so far, but perhaps it is finally gathering steam.

Thank you Anthony....and I think you are right about the domestic pressures. When things go wrong, the checks and balances will come back into play
