Mike Pompeo Is Good for Diplomacy

Clear evidence shows, that no one stays in Trumps good graces ("has his ear") unless they completely cow-tow to Trump. So either Pompeo will continue to be a completely spineless sycophant, or he too will be on the outs with Trump.

It is clear that Trump really does believe, as he stated many times during the campaign, and since, that ONLY HE can lead this country ("fix the problems") - he really does not seem to understand how ignorant and weak and self-absorbed he is. With that as the guiding attitude, no one in the State Department is going to be able to regain the credibility of foreign governments, because everyone has come to realize, that we have a madman at the helm.
