That's a big if. Is there evidence or just your opinion?

Off the top of my head, crippled is much too strong. Inconvenienced, perhaps. The question is the value of the objective. Do you have any clue as to what the objective is?

No, that isn't the question, because the actions themselves have a cost. The fact that nobody, including the people working at the State Department, know the objective is terrible, not a point to equivocate on.

My evidence is the fact that the entire institutional memory of how to do diplomacy is being wiped. It's not an "if," that's plainly what is happening and they aren't being subtle about it or trying to hide it. Come on now.

Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing that our ability to do diplomacy is being "inconvenienced," then?

If 90% of the things Trump does is bad

Well true enough, if he is truly the worst President, then he is deserving of the scorn. I wonder how the media treated Grant back in the day (often considered the worst President). That said, I'm pretty happy with the economy, though this bubble could end up bursting soon, we'll find out. Long as Trump doesn't start a war, I'll be happy with his performance. Isn't a good sign that I have such low expectations for him, but it is what it is. He's quite unintelligent. I can't say Trump is a success yet, we'll see if we can get through without a major recession and war. But I would say the 1st year is a success.

‘far left’

True, our far left is hardly comparable to Europe or other countries. Our far left is quite content playing around with thousand dollar iphones not realizing how damaging this technology is to the environment.

So it is entirely your opinion, with no supporting facts you want to mention. How is this different from all the other Trump is so incompetent I don't know how he ties his shoes rhetoric?

And who talk about "Saving the Environment" while driving SUV's
Or flying private jets to climate change conferences.

You yourself admitted that our ability to do diplomacy is being "inconvenienced," so I'm actually just going by your words for the sake of eliciting a goddamned opinion from you. Your reticence to offer one suggests that you agree that this is a bad thing, but don't want to speak ill of the Trump administration and so are up to your typical stonewalling.

I mean, if you're actually interested in the details, the Washington Post has been doing in-depth reporting for months now on the chaos at State. Don't depend on me to educate you, read it yourself.

Should be obvious that antiantiantifa is not having to be in tautology with antifa.
What about the Antiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantifa?

it may be isomorphic to its nominal iteration as part of the dyad, but doesn't have to :)

Much like current democracy is Antiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantiantidemocracy +- 1 anti. Sadly, antis past some step in the progression may acquire side focus and subsequently the specific meaning may not be readily available, while in the first steps it is more doable to suspect what it would be; eg in the antiantiantifa you have a polemic of antiantifa, with antiantifa being a polemic of antifa, ie some dismissal which may come either from being fa or being against the version of antithesis to fa which antifa is about. Then the antiantiantifa mentioned would be a negation of either of those two, breaking up to at least four cases. Overlap can appear, but the more significant issue is with lack of definition for later steps of the progression. I am antiantiantifun, but at times just antifun.

I'm not. This is an economy of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, to the exclusion of all else.

I'm doing pretty good, and I grew up dirt poor. It's possible for the rest of us to invest in the Stock Market as well, it isn't just restricted to the rich. That said, I won't deny I've had certain advantages. Like not having a gf most of my life. Not having kids will do wonders for your financial situation. And really, not having kids is the best option for the environment.

Problem solved : if you're poor just invest the money you don't have in the stock market

Actually he's probably emboldening them ensuring the left will be in power for at least 50 years. This will be the last Republican President for a long time, assuming the party will even survive the demographic changes we are seeing.

It's a short term victory for Republicans that will hurt them in the long term. Because of Trump, this country will be set down a path of the far left and socialism (which is bad in my view). I really wish Trump would destroy the SJW's, but they seem to be even worse under Trump. With CNN leading the way. CNN has gone completely off the rails and has abandoned any hopes of ever being balanced in their coverage. Everything is a slam against Trump. They are incapable of seeing how the rest of the country lives. They are all college educated journalists who've been indoctrinated in a certain political way of thinking, and are incapable of impartial news coverage. And no, throwing in some nutjob commentator from the right doesn't count as impartial and balanced coverage.
If you've chosen to define everything to the left of your human cold-sore of a Duce as "the far-left and socialism", you really shouldn't be surprised if that's what you get. What, realistically, was the alternative? One thousand years of the cold-sore?

Smashing my dude. If we all didn't have kids, we'd all have this advantage, and would all help the environment.

America will be Great Again when every family has to choose between economic security and having children.

The GOP wants to ban abortion and limit access to contraceptives. They have no intention of allowing most people a choice as to whether or when they might have children.

Well, there are at least five billion too many humans on this planet.
Of course, if you're for our current form of capitalism you should be for overpopulation, because without too many people labor would become too expensive for billionaires to exist.
