I get that, but much of the world, a bit like Charlie Brown and Lucy and the football, hope against hope that this time will be different, that this POTUS will be different. They don't understand the American Deep State, putting too much stock in "elections".
This is a good example of a new variable for the administration. There is an electorate that is taking responsibility for its civil education in a way that maybe didn't take place during the 100 years of mass media. We know the score. We know the players. The days have passed of "Fool me once, shame on you: fool me twice, won't get fooled again." Maybe Bill Clinton would have stood a chance against us, but not George Bush or Obama. Hmm. What would George Bush Sr. have done about Twitter, Substack, YouTube, etc.?
Back in the day, M*A*S*H had Colonel Flagg. He seems more real than ever when I read this post. He lied about which agency he represented, claimed the CIA ran the country, was a zealot, stole penicillin to trade with the enemy, etc.
He'd fit right in with the interagency view of today.

"America's international reputation will be riding on this..."

That ship sailed long ago
