...Trump's prepared with the real estate, he's less prepared with the foreign policy. He may have to pull as many all-nighters as Republican front runner George W. Bush. Trump does know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia, but some of his writing reminds one a bit of the hawkish general played by George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove. "I would let Pyongyang know in no uncertain terms that it can either get out of the nuclear arms race or expect a rebuke similar to the one Ronald Reagan delivered to Muammar Gaddafi in 1986," he wrote...
...interview with Talk magazine, he bragged about not liking to read heavy public-policy tomes and mimicked convicted killer Karla Faye Tucker's begging for her life on Larry King Live (which she never did). He then blew off his foreign policy shortfalls (referring to Greeks as "Grecians," confusing Slovenia with Slovakia) by suggesting he could hire people for that sort of thing.

You could find yourself thinking, "One thing about Clinton--that boy knew his geography." It would be only a matter of time before you were admitting to yourself, "I miss ol' Webb Hubbell. The man was a hoot!" That would be the time for Bill Clinton...
