I'm surprised to say that I actually agree with much of this column, though I do think that - not surprisingly - it gets a number of important points wrong. First, it grossly overestimates Donald Trump's capacity for learning. Trump is probably a reasonably intelligent man. However, he is profoundly, deeply ignorant. It is highly doubtful that he can make up for an entire lifetime of not reading and not knowing anything about the world outside of New York real estate (except in the most superficial ways) at this late point in life. What Trump does is going to be shaped by who his advisers are. This is where Kissinger is frightening. Kissinger is and was grossly incompetent - a well read man who, nonetheless, lives in a fantasy world. Remember that he and Nixon made the Vietnam War far, far worse before they finally pulled out. US foreign policy around most of the world has been incompetent since the end of WWII. In most places, the US has made local situations worse.
