The remarkable thing is that the press and the White House seem to consider “diplomacy” to consist of the President making a phone call. Diplomacy is meeting with allies, discussing the matter, meeting with the person or group with whom you have the dispute, and even bringing in other parties - and not thinking you can kind of just wing it and so it on your own. Remember how long Bush worked, through Powell and other diplomats, to get support for the various resolutions necessary to go into Iraq and also for sanctions against Iran?
Bambi is so clueless, ignorant and self obsessed he really believes that “diplomacy” is just a matter of him picking up the phone.
What an utter putz.
Agreed. He’s been phoning it in his whole life. No different here.
