And Now for Something Even More Stupid and Dangerous Than the Usual Dangerous Stupidity

As the great foreign policy scholar Dean Wormer of Faber College once said, “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”  It’s also no way to run a foreign policy.  In fact, you don’t even have to be fat or drunk for stupid to screw up a policy.  This week has seen some really extraordinary cluelessness from the man who says his gut can steer US international affairs.  And we discuss where it all might lead with Edward Luce of the Financial Times, Evelyn Farkas of the German Marshall Fund and Brian Klaas of University College, London.  You could miss it.  But then you wouldn’t know what is about to go terrible wrong(er).
