.... to recognize or follow well established protocols or possess the curiosity to understand the historic imperatives of the subject matter.. tRdump has the propensity to do things his own way and for himself - lacking the understanding that what he does and people who he sends to act on his behalf are there to act on behalf of America and not on behalf of Donald tRdump.
Case in point:
* tRdump meeting with Russians privately and alone with no USA representative in the room also - to witness, to record (take notes), or an interpreter to understand any side chatter.
* tRdump's numerous private meetings with Putin are more outlandish and dangerous. With advance notice coming from Russian media while American media is kept in the blind. Both before and after the fact notice of these meetings comes first through Russian media getting exclusive notice.
* Dispatching Jared to China, Mexico, Israel, the Middle East, or anywhere else with no diplomatic briefing before, stenographer to take notes, or interpreter in the room, or debriefing after. Jared has zero diplomatic bonafides, lacks the proper security clearances, has a high degree of being susceptible to blackmail and/or extortion yet continues to be sent out to conduct America's business while being woefully unqualified. Ivanka is another person dispatched by tRdump to Mexico and before that South Korea. Yet there is no South Korean ambassador yet appointed. Delicate high level meeting are on the drawing board to discuss hotly contested Nuclear disarmament issues. And a novice such as Ivanka is bouncing around playing international diplomatic czar of ladies shoes, fashions, perfumes, and atomic weapons.
* tRdump makes the off the cuff and spastic statement he will place the military at the Mexican border to stop illegal immigrants because he heard the wonderful idea on Fox Nuz. He had no prior consultation with the military corps and went alone to the media to announce his new plan. The Posse Comitatus Act stipulate fines and jail time for any such domestic use of the military as a police force.
As stipulated in the Constitution the lines between church and state should remain clear and distinct. But tRdump has a propensity to allow those lines to go blurry and fuzzy. Even welcoming that.
Again as stipulated in the Constitution the line between the government and a free press should remain clear and distinct. Again tRdump commonly says and tweets comments in direct conflict with standard definitions of what constitutes a free press and he willfully and often violates that concept.
Now with the military there is a well established concept that civilian authorities hold command and final say over the military with the president appointed Commander in Chief. The intent here is to make the military subservient to the civilian authorities - a clear line no ifs, ands, or buts. This is to ward off any flexing of military might with the inherent threats such as a military junta or coup de' tat military over throw of or over take of government. If too many high ranking military officers are introduced into an executive administration it has a tendency to meld the military branch into the executive branch and blur that clear line and make the distinction fuzzy. The civilian branch must never be equal to or remotely subservient to the military - that is a dangerous line to cross or make indistinct. The civilian must retain the final say in all governmental actions and the military at all times follows those orders and decisions of what specifically is the final path to take in the dispatch of any military action either in peace or in war.
tRdump maybe too stupid to recognize or appreciate the dynamics and distinctions of these matters and inadvertently land us in very hot water.
This is why an idiot president and very flawed man belongs no where near the people's White House and within the control of the various levers of power at his finger tips.
