I am troubled by what seems to be a broken government. Bush was the worst President of my lifetime on a policy level, and one of the things that made him so very horrible was that he was surrounded by people who knew all the buttons and levers of the federal bureaucracy. This knowledge, which came from years of experience stretching back to the Nixon Administration, enabled the Bush team to implement catastrophic policies which lead to two wars and a wrecked world economy. Trump, in contrast, seems bent on breaking things for the shear apres moi le deluge hell of it. But it goes beyond that: this Congress is staggeringly awful, populated with sycophants, lickspittles, hacks and poltroons to an extent unusual even by the history of the United States Congress.
