The problem with Trump is that left to his own devices he could do something really stupid, and not just the infantile posturing which we've seen so far (and that sells really well in the US of A) but something really, really stupid i.e. an all out trade war, that would have a significant impact. So far the intelligent people around him have stopped him doing it but there's always the possibility that at some point they won't be able to or willing to control him.

In fact, two of his recent appointments seem as crazy as he is. We'll laugh at him and enjoy him until it happens, only.
Wait, the day he was elected all you pansies were pissing your knickers because he was definitely going to start a nuclear war, invade Mexico, destroy the US economy, gas, or at best, deport all muslims and brown people and make homoing illegal. Oddly, none of that seems to have happened. Indeed, the US economy seems to be doing remarkably well, and far from nuclear wars happening, it would appear that North Korea is preparing to give a little.

Why, given the evidence to date, do you think he's going to do something 'really stupid'?
