A line in one of Douglas Adams novels comes to mind to the effect that the

Agreed! But the problem is the clumsiness of Trump. I've long felt that it
would be better to have a right-winger like Spence in power, because you
can fight someone with a defined position; with Trump, it's one micro-
disaster after another - the news here is full of this stuff - and first,
it hides whatever he might be up to; and second, one of those disasters
could end up being the stuff that real war is made of.
