Absolute fucking clownshow. China, Russia and Iran will pwn America six ways to a Sunday while Clippy hallucinates windmills to tilt at. Though at least some well-connected people will get rich out of it.
One of the first things he got rid of was a specialized intelligence unit that was dedicated to studying, and strategizing opposition to, Chinese cyber warfare. This has stood out to me since it happened. We have these for pretty much every country that is an active threat source, but he chops the one for China, and it is like at, or near, the top of his hit list. Seemed weird to me. I looked into who ran it, to see if they had openly clashed with Trump, but it didn't seem so, though there was little information on the people involved in it, as I expected.
