Larison: Trump's Embarrassing Letter To Erdogan

Unbelievable.
   Trump's managed to be surprisingly good with respect to a surprising number of domestic policies IMO. Far better than I would have ever predicted. But he seems to me to be a disaster with respect to foreign policy. This letter is, indeed, an embarrassment. But, then, Trump's an embarrassment. The letter's a drop in the bucket. Trump has already made us ridiculous.
   Well...lots of things about or politics are currently making us ridiculous. But Trump's the front-man for American absurdity. Our David Lee Roth, if you will. Maybe the election will end up as a Trump-Beto contest, and the nation will simply disappear in a puff of absurdity and humiliation.
