I also heard he got into a tiff with Australia, insulted Iran, and accused Japan and Germany of manipulating the value of the American dollar. I didn't go out seeking this information, it all fell in my lap one way or another, through talking with friends or listening to NPR or even the evening news. That's all crazy if they're even remotely true. I mean, this is the first time I've failed uterly spectacularly of trying to be even remotely neutral about one of my government leaders and I honestly don't feel like it's my fault. Serious question. Is this what the Cold War felt like? It's only been a few months. How did people survive decades of this?
