I think anyone capable of looking at Trump objectively can see what he's doing. He's not serious but he is making a serious point. He is pushing Europe to step up in NATO and start pulling their weight. He has poked strategic partners like Greenland and Canada to do more in the Arctic. He is poking Canada and Mexico on border issues. He has fired shots across the bow in the Middle East. All of these silly presentations have accomplished results. Canada has been discussing borders since 2015 and voila, have only just now started to take new measures. Mexico has also started to break up migrant caravans. You may not like Trump, but he ceratinly gets results quickly.

I have no idea what that will look like, but an administration with a cult of personality behind it and painfully little opposition in Congress does make me pretty nervous.

Yup, exactly.
