#2 No president has ever before referred to "the establishment" in his inaugural address nor declared that every country in the world ought to pursue its own self-interest.
Emphasis added

The underlined should be making the shi* disturbing 'regime change' crowd at Foggy Bottom and McLean, VA apoplectic. A pox on both their spurious, crisis making houses.

Perhaps DJT took at look at tiny Switzerland (in the middle of turbulent and war torn Europe) and began wondering just how they've stayed out of foreign entanglements and senseless confilcts for nearly 700 years.

Anyone besides me fail to hear anything about DJT's ambassadorial appointments? I suspect it's because they are extremely low on his priority (things needing done) list, where they rightfully belong. He owes no favours to anyone, so he can act on these at his leisure.

Well, I do think Hillary should be offered a choice between investigation (and consequently jail) and ambassadorial appointment to Libya.

#6 g(r)omski - Senator Jeff Session as Attorney General will act as a Clinton deterrent. Something akin to a Zostavax vaccination for the shingles. If you enjoyed the 'shingles - Clinton' metaphor, grinning is permitted.

#7 He nominated SC Gov. Nikki Halley to the UN, other than that, I've seen nothing.

#11 He announced the ambassador to Israel ages ago -- a settlements supporter keen to move the embassy to Jerusalem as I recall.

#14 @#7: My take is that President Trump is using ambassadorial appointments or lack thereof as an exercise in determining plumbing problems.
