Trump’s whole administration is in disarray: Analyst

US Republican Senator John McCain is “referring to the foreign policy realm” of the Donald Trump administration “being in disarray but in reality it’s his whole team,” according to Myles Hoenig, an American political analyst and activist. 

On Friday, McCain said the resignation of President Trump’s national security adviser, Michael Flynn, shows that the new administration is in “disarray.”

“McCain says the firing of Flynn is an indication that Trump is not in control and has a lot of work to do. He could also be thinking of the president’s Middle East policy which seems to jump all over the place,” Hoenig said.  

“At one point he supports a two state solution but in another moment he refers to not being committed to it; perhaps a one state solution that makes Israel the exclusive power, rather than a more sensible one state with equal rights for all,” he added.

‘Trump’s NATO views being questioned’

“Trump’s NATO views are also being questioned and it’s taking McCain and VP Pence to go to Europe to reassure them that NATO will remain the dominant military force for American empire building, with the European nations doing their part to assist,” the analyst said.

“However, the disarray is everywhere. It is true that the media is certainly enjoying and even craving the disarray that it’s reporting on, and egging on, but it is real. It does start with the president who is incapable of handling simple questions at a press conference without turning it into a need to extol his own great virtues,” he stated.

“A Jewish reporter talks about growing anti-Semitism in the US and his response is that he won a huge electoral victory. Another reporter questions his numbers on the inauguration or even challenges him on his Electoral College count and he seems clueless in how to respond,” Hoenig said.

‘Trump picks go beyond oligarchical choices’

“His picks for the cabinet may go beyond the oligarchical choices his predecessor chose, but he managed to select people with virtually no experience in the department they’re to lead, such as DeVos for Education, or a department they’re determined to eliminate, such as Pruitt for EPA,” the activist said.

“On top of all of this the Democrats are just waiting for 2018 to retake either of the Houses and begin impeachment hearings on everything from violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution to their non-evidentiary belief that Russia interfered with the election, something only the US government seems permitted to do abroad,” he added.

“It’s nearly a month since Trump’s inauguration and the level of disarray is astounding. We have yet to see the other shoe drop on issues like immigration. Will he actually call out the National Guard against undocumented aliens? How many constitutional crises is one president permitted to have per term? The only thing this president has made great again is Saturday Night Live,” Hoenig said in his concluding remarks.
