Stable Or Stumbling?

       A Stable Genius indeed. His stability in Canada, Belgium and now in England is called into question. There are several reasons for his actions. First he is a man with the mind of a ten year old and not all that stable of a ten year old. Second, he is a fiercely loyal follower of Putinism. A damn the world, full speed ahead approach to running the world. Third, he is beyond the Peter Principal. He doesn't realize that his actions and words have real world consequences. He just doesn't understand how to show respect where it's due and meet threats where they exist.
       Personally I go with the Peter Principal. Oh, he's done big deals and he understands the court system. He must, he's a top flight bankruptcy expert. But trying to run America and its relations with hundreds of other countries and their leaders is just over his head. I suppose if I wanted to get out of an agreement to buy tons of concrete, he could probably help me, but he just doesn't understand how international relationships work, and what's more, he's not at all interested in learning.
       Yep, the Peter Principal, that's where my money is. He'd rather speak off the cuff than follow any advice from the people he hired to advise him. His greatest fear is that he would be seen as weak and indecisive which is exactly how he is viewed. When someone calls himself great and smarter than anyone else, better able to extract concessions and all those boasts, you can be fairly certain that person can't accomplish any of them.
       Not knowing about a country isn't so bad so long as you're willing to learn about it and take the advice of those who do know that country. But not knowing and not caring enough to learn doesn't make you a Stable Genius it makes you a Stumbling Dufus.
