i think the only certainty is uncertainty...
i understand that within the US system the President is not as powerful at deciding and rodding through policy as perhaps we think he is, and that not only will Big Beasts, but big interests start chipping away at some of the policy stances, but...
i'm afraid i see a man who is remarkably thin skinned, and who has a spectacular ego. i see a man who can be baited into saying almost anything on twitter by pretty much any 12 year old who can type - sad to say i think the next 4 years is going to be mainly an exasperated government and wider defence/security sector trying to rein in a wildly oscillating president who lurches from one policy to its exact opposite with a great deal of bomblast and who will manage to offend pretty much every traditional ally and potential ally/partner, before wanting to be their friend again and acting all surprised when they don't recprocate.
