Trump's performance and attitude at NATO summit underscores the need for future presidents to be what Trump is not: well-read, serious and stable, w/an understanding and appreciation of why - after two catastrophic wars in 25 years - peace has endured in Europe for 3/4 of century
Trump doesn't seem to understand that America's inclusion in - and robust leadership of - NATO has kept us safer; He doesn't seem to understand the shared values that link America and Europe; he seems to see it as he does everything and everyone: purely in transactional terms
Sometimes Trump fans (the ones who say "F your feelings") get defensive when it is pointed out that the president doesn't read, doesn't know history (fact check: he doesn't), because, by implication, they might not either and this reveals their own insecurity in a snowflakey way
The last few years have certainly shown that analysts have made lots of mistakes when dissecting Trump. But characterizing him as someone who doesn't read, shows little interest in facts, honesty or the long-term accumulation of knowledge and wisdom is not one of them
