Not what the Duck himself had shamelessly boasted at the UN that his administration was the best one in American history and got rightly laughed off for that spineless boast hahaha.....
It is hard to respect the Duck unless you are his unthinking diehard supporters. These people, like how a lot of Bolehlanders who are even now diehard supporters of MO1, adore Individual 1 like he is their demigod who can do no wrong.
Who cares whether the Duck is 6' 3'' or not? Except that being truthful won't diminish one's stature, would it?
Running a corporation where you are the boss is easy. Nobody is going to contradict you or stand you down unless you want to risk being sacked.
Running a country, you face many other bosses who are not your subordinates.
Like Putin is a boss himself. And Xi Jinping. And others too, though some of these others may be small bosses because they are more easily bullied.
Not Putin. Not Xi.
In fact, they say Putin is the Duck's boss. And this is the problem. How can you make your country great again if there is a boss who can boss you around.
And what about Xi? The Chinese strongman is no pushover. The Duck might try, and he has, but we are not seeing Xi keeling over, over the threats of a supposedly defining trade war with the Middle Kingdom.
If anything, the Duck will get mainly token concessions that won't break the Middle Kingdom nor make America great again. China is just too big and clever with their long experiences as the world's Big Brother to not know how to play the game and beat the new kid on the block.
How could anyone honestly see the Duck as a great POTUS when he could not even play a proper gambit with North Korea's Rotund One in the Lion City when they first met? Let alone a winning end game? Yes, the Duck gets a second bite at the cherry when he meets the R.O next in Vietnam. Let's hope the cherry he bites this time turns out a sweet one.
Domestically, the Duck has yet to deliver his ardently promised toy - the 'Great Wall of Mexico' - to his adoring and worshipful base. A failure for which the Duck was willing to hold the nation to ransom for shutting down the government for the longest period in the country's history and now declaring a national emergency for a non existent threat so as to divert funds from elsewhere for building the toy just because Congress would not humour him for a toy he had promised Mexico would pay for in the first place!
It would have been smarter if the Duck had consulted Xi in the first place if he really wanted the Great Wall of Mexico! The Middle Kingdom has a lot of experience when it comes to building great walls. And China has a lot of money. What is 5.7 billion?
Instead of waging a trade war with the Middle Kingdom, it would have made more sense for the Duck to have asked Xi for help in building his toy, the Great Wall of Mexico!
