As for diplomacy, the plus of NK is counterbalanced by the fact he's busy alienating every ally the US ever had, except maybe Turkey.
I wish the debt wasn't going up, but Congress is to blame for that. They won't curb spending. It's not Trump. He can't get anything passed without the excessive spending.
He's not alienating allies. He's holding them to account. And, much of what he pushed for was understood by everyone to be necessary. Others didn't have the balls to do it. Like the NATO shake-up and demands that countries pay their fair share. Allies or no allies, even under Obama the chatter was very open about the allies not paying their fair share.
