The Trump presidency has been eventful so far, to say the least. The new president’s modus operandi is truly unique – guaranteed to ruffle the Washington establishment’s feathers for as long as he is around. Accordingly, every day is chock-full of Twitter blasts, personnel changes, resistance-inspired demonstrations, and, of course, everything and anything to do with investigations into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s election-hacking ways.

But “frustrating” may best define the new president. To wit, the same man who garnered Reaganesque comparisons during high-profile foreign trips to the Middle East and Europe can also be his own worst enemy.
